Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a vital specialty within dentistry that focuses on treating conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, and face. This field involves a variety of procedures, from routine surgeries like wisdom tooth extractions to more complex operations such as reconstructive surgery following facial injuries or congenital abnormalities. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons also address issues like misaligned jaws, tumors, cysts, and infections within the oral cavity. They play a crucial role in improving both the function and appearance of patients, helping them regain the ability to eat, speak, and breathe comfortably. Additionally, these surgeons manage temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and provide cosmetic facial surgeries to enhance quality of life, ensuring comprehensive care for a broad range of dental and facial concerns.
