What is oral and maxillofacial surgery?

It is the specialty that treats injuries, deformities, and diseases of the face, jaws, teeth, and surrounding tissues. Scope includes facial fractures, orthognathic surgery, tumor removal, dental implants, and correction of congenital and acquired anomalies.

When should I see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon?

Seek consultation for facial fractures or injuries, TMJ problems, difficulty chewing or malocclusion, jaw size or shape discrepancies, impacted wisdom teeth, facial masses or tumors, or when complex dental implant placement is needed.

What are facial fractures—and how are they treated?

Fractures can involve the upper or lower jaw, nasal bones, cheekbones, or the eye socket. Treatment typically realigns the bones and stabilizes them with medical-grade plates and screws, preserving both function and natural appearance.

What is malocclusion—and how is it corrected?
Malocclusion is improper bite alignment due to jaw size or position. It is corrected with orthognathic surgery: cutting and repositioning jawbones, then securing them with plates, usually in coordination with orthodontic treatment.

What is orthognathic surgery?      

These procedures correct jaw deformities such as mandibular prognathism, mandibular retrusion, maxillary protrusion, or facial asymmetry. They improve chewing, speech, breathing, and facial aesthetics, and are commonly planned jointly with an orthodontist.

What are TMJ disorders?
TMJ disorders can cause jaw pain, limited mouth opening, joint clicking, headaches, and ear pain. Causes include inflammation, injury, or dysfunction of the joint and surrounding muscles. Management ranges from medication, physiotherapy, and occlusal splints to surgery in advanced cases.

What problems do impacted wisdom teeth cause?
Impacted third molars can lead to pain, recurrent infections, decay of adjacent teeth, cysts, and crowding. Surgical removal is indicated in these situations, especially for fully impacted or horizontally positioned teeth.

How is an impacted wisdom tooth extracted?
Under local or general anesthesia, a gum incision is made, bone may be removed if needed, and the tooth is often sectioned for easier removal. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, with recovery in about a week.

What are dental implants—and when are they recommended?
Implants are titanium fixtures placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They restore chewing and speech and enhance appearance. Adequate bone and good oral health are required; bone grafting may be necessary beforehand.

What is jawbone grafting?
When jawbone volume is insufficient, grafting is performed to support implants or improve contour. Bone can be harvested from another body site or use synthetic substitutes. The graft integrates over 3–6 months.

What are common congenital craniofacial anomalies?
They include cleft lip, cleft palate, jaw deformities, and facial asymmetry. Treatment involves a staged surgical plan aligned to growth milestones—from infancy through skeletal maturity—to optimize function and appearance.

How are cleft lip and cleft palate treated?
Cleft lip repair is typically performed at 3–6 months of age, and cleft palate repair at 9–18 months. Additional surgeries, speech therapy, and orthodontics may be required later. Early intervention and consistent follow-up yield excellent outcomes.

What types of facial and jaw tumors occur?
Lesions range from benign (cysts, adenomas, osteogenic tumors) to malignant cancers. Diagnosis relies on clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Treatment varies from simple excision for benign lesions to complex resections with adjunct chemotherapy or radiotherapy for malignancies.

How is facial and jaw reconstruction performed?
Reconstruction after tumor resection, trauma, or deformity uses advanced methods: transferring bone and soft tissue from donor sites, medical implants, patient-specific plates, and 3D digital planning to optimize functional and aesthetic results.

Why is 3D surgical planning important?
CT-based virtual planning creates an accurate anatomical model and allows surgeons to simulate procedures beforehand. It enhances precision, reduces operative time and complications, and improves outcomes—especially in orthognathic surgery, fracture fixation, and reconstruction.

What is the recovery timeline after maxillofacial surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure: impacted wisdom-tooth removal (about 1 week), jaw fractures (4–6 weeks), orthognathic surgery (6–12 weeks), and complex reconstructions (3–6 months). Most patients gradually resume normal activities within these periods.

What are the post-operative instructions after jaw surgery?
Follow a soft or liquid diet, avoid forceful chewing, maintain meticulous oral hygiene, apply cold compresses to limit swelling, take prescribed medications, avoid smoking, and rest adequately. Scheduled follow-ups are essential to monitor healing.

Are these surgeries painful?

Pain is generally well controlled with modern analgesia. Most patients report discomfort rather than severe pain, along with swelling and temporary trismus. Symptoms improve over days to weeks. We provide a comprehensive pain-management plan.

What are the potential risks?

Complications are uncommon and include infection, bleeding, temporary or permanent nerve injury (e.g., numbness), delayed bone healing, or the need for revision surgery. Careful planning, experienced surgeons, and modern techniques significantly reduce risk. All risks and benefits are discussed before surgery.

Are results permanent?

Most procedures—such as orthognathic corrections and fracture repairs—achieve stable, long-lasting results. Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Some cases may require additional procedures or maintenance, depending on the condition and adherence to post-operative guidance.
