Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a highly specialized area within dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the mouth, jaw, face, and neck. It encompasses a wide variety of procedures, ranging from routine wisdom tooth extractions to complex surgeries for traumatic injuries, facial deformities, or congenital defects. Maxillofacial surgeons are skilled in performing reconstructive surgeries to restore both function and aesthetics, helping patients regain their quality of life. This field also involves treating oral cancers, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and conditions such as cysts and infections within the oral cavity. Collaborating with other dental and medical professionals, oral and maxillofacial surgeons provide comprehensive care to address a broad spectrum of health issues, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.
