Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Jaipur

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

As earlier said, oral and maxillofacial surgery is an advanced branch of dentistry. While all maxillofacial surgeons are oral surgeons, it’s not the same vice versa. Maxillofacial surgeons undergo extensive training to perform facial, jaw, and oral surgery. Some surgeons undergo added training to perform facial plastic surgery, microvascular surgery, and even correct congenital abnormalities in children. They work alongside other specialists like orthopedic surgeons, surgical oncologists, etc., to correct severe head and facial trauma.

Maxillofacial surgery is a special type of dentistry. It’s similar to oral surgery. But in addition to treating conditions affecting your mouth, it also treats conditions affecting your jaw, face and neck.

Maxillofacial surgeries may include:

• 1. Dental bone grafting
• 2. Cleft lip and cleft palate repair
• 3. Dental implants
• 4. Jaw (orthognathic) surgery
• 5.Jaw implants
• 6.Maxillectomy
