Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

What Is Oral, Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery?

Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialised branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, jawbones, jaw joints, and oral soft tissues. All procedures are carefully planned using clinical examinations, digital X-rays, and 3D imaging technologies.Treatments are performed under local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia in fully equipped surgical environments, ensuring maximum safety and comfort.This field covers a wide range of procedures, from simple tooth extractions to impacted tooth surgeries, implant operations, jaw fractures, and cyst–tumour treatments. The main goal is to restore both oral health and essential functions such as chewing, speaking, and facial aesthetics.
