What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that involves surgical treatments related to the mouth, jaw, and face. This type of surgery is often necessary when dental issues are too complex to be treated through traditional means. Some common procedures include:
- Tooth Extractions: Particularly for impacted wisdom teeth, extractions may require surgical removal when the teeth are stuck in the gums or causing pain and infection.
- Dental Implants: Oral surgery is often necessary to place dental implants, which replace missing teeth with artificial tooth roots anchored in the jawbone.
- Jaw Surgery: Corrective jaw surgery may be performed to realign the jaws and teeth, improving both function and appearance.
- Treatment for Facial Injuries: Oral and maxillofacial surgeons also treat facial trauma, such as fractures of the jaw or cheekbones.
- Cyst and Tumor Removal: Removal of cysts or tumors in the mouth and surrounding areas may also require surgical intervention.
Benefits of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Restores Functionality: Surgery can correct bite issues, replace missing teeth, and improve overall oral function.
- Relieves Pain and Discomfort: Many patients experience relief from chronic pain caused by impacted teeth, jaw misalignment, or facial trauma.
- Improves Appearance: Corrective procedures can enhance facial aesthetics, restoring symmetry and function.
