What is Maxillofacial Surgery?
Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that extends beyond routine oral surgeries, including complex reconstructive facial, jaws, mouth, and neck surgery.
Maxillofacial surgeons are trained to perform a variety of intricate procedures, including facial trauma surgery, complex tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and the management of TMJ disorders. They also handle biopsies, cyst, and tumor removals, and are equipped to treat a broad spectrum of oral health issues.
