OMFS Surgeries

Maxillofacial surgery, also known as oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS), involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of various conditions affecting the face, jaw, and mouth.

Recovery times can be influenced by factors such as the complexity of the surgery, the patient’s overall health, and adherence to post-operative care instructions. Patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery should follow their surgeon’s guidance for optimal healing and recovery.

Here are some common maxillofacial surgeries

Orthognathic Surgery: Corrective jaw surgery to address issues such as misaligned jaws, facial asymmetry, and difficulty with biting or chewing.

Dental Implant Surgery: Placement of artificial tooth roots (implants) into the jawbone to support dental prosthetics like crowns or dentures.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Surgery: Surgical procedures to address disorders affecting the TMJ, which can cause pain, clicking, or difficulty in jaw movement.

Facial Trauma Surgery: Repair of facial injuries, fractures, or lacerations resulting from accidents, falls, or other traumatic events.

Cleft Lip and Palate Repair: Surgical correction of congenital conditions involving a gap or opening in the upper lip and/or palate.
