Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions involving the mouth, teeth, jaws, and face. This includes procedures like wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, jaw surgery, TMJ disorders, and facial trauma repair.

While both dentists and oral & maxillofacial surgeons are trained to care for your teeth and mouth, there are significant differences in their education, training, and scope of practice. Dentists typically focus on routine dental care, such as restorative and cosmetic treatments (fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, etc.).

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, on the other hand, are specialized surgical experts who have completed additional years of training in a hospital-based residency program.

They are qualified to perform a wide range of complex surgical procedures such as include wisdom tooth extractions, dental implant placement, bone grafting, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery), treatment of facial trauma, TMJ (jaw joint) disorders, and removal of oral cysts or tumors. They are trained to administer anesthesia and provide emergency care for conditions such as facial injuries, infections, and abscesses.

You should consult an oral surgeon for issues such as impacted teeth, jaw misalignment, missing teeth requiring implants, facial injuries, or oral pathology (such as cysts or tumors). Your dentist may refer you to a surgeon if your case requires advanced expertise.

Our oral surgeons prioritize patient comfort by using local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the procedure and your needs. You may experience mild discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication.

Before surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions, such as fasting requirements, adjusting medications, and arranging transportation if sedation is used. Our team will guide you through every step to ensure a smooth experience.

If sedation or general anesthesia is used, you’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours. For simpler procedures under local anesthesia, this may not be necessary.

Many oral surgery procedures are covered by dental or medical insurance plans. If you need assistance, please call 04 394 7777 and our team will help you understand your coverage and assist with insurance claims to ensure a hassle-free process.
