Maxillofacial surgery
Maxillofacial surgery, also known as oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS), is a surgical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects affecting the head, face, jaws, mouth, and neck regions. It involves a combination of dental, medical, and surgical expertise to manage a wide range of conditions.
At Elite Dental Clinic, we carry out the following categories
- Orthognathic Surgery: This category involves the correction of jaw deformities, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Orthognathic surgery aims to improve the alignment of the jaws and teeth to enhance facial aesthetics, function, and overall oral health.
- Dentoalveolar Surgery: Dentoalveolar surgery focuses on procedures involving the teeth and supporting structures within the mouth. This includes tooth extractions, removal of impacted teeth (such as wisdom teeth), dental implants, and pre-prosthetic surgeries to prepare the mouth for dentures or other dental prostheses.
- Facial Trauma Surgery: Maxillofacial surgeons are trained to manage facial injuries resulting from accidents, falls, assaults, or sports-related incidents. They may perform reconstructive procedures to repair fractures of the facial bones, soft tissue injuries, and injuries to the oral cavity.
