MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON? 

By: Smileway Dental

WHAT IS A MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON? 

Maxillofacial surgeons also known as oral surgeons, are trained to handle a variety of conditions and injuries that affect the head, neck, mouth, jaw, and face.

 

What does a maxillofacial surgeon do?

Correct misaligned jaws

Our upper and lower jaws are in a position where we can have our teeth position nicely in our mouth. However, some people have upper or lower jaws that are not in ideal condition, either too far backward or forward. This jaw correction can be done by surgeons for cosmetic or functional purposes.


Removal of Impacted wisdom tooth

High difficulty wisdom tooth surgery that involves the nerves can be done by surgeons.


Oral reconstructive surgery

This is usually done for patients with oral cancers or serious injuries to head and neck in traumatic accidents. Surgeons will help to repair, align and construct back the area.


Dental implants

Oral surgeons can also do dental implants.

The response from time of my asking for an appointment (though last minute) was handled well. Staff was ensuring that if I couldn’t make the 5pm appointed time then she offered to reschedule. So I did for the next day. Dr Edwin was super nice and gave options to see that my swollen due to infection gum was treated with care. I only visit this clinic because of its professionalism. Cheers guys and keep up the great job ! Thanks.

People with dental phobia like me have an awareness that the fear is totally irrational, but with extensive experience in the field of dentistry, Dr Lisa provides efficient and compassionate patient care. I just had my tooth extraction this morning and it was painless…. Furthermore Dr Lisa are very attentive and explain things very thoroughly without pushing for unnecessary treatment. Thank you so much Dr Lisa 🙏

Got a bridge and implant done by Dr Jon this year. Still holding up, looking forward to next and hopefully final treatment for missing tooth. Flexible payment terms and polite staff. Give them a try if you haven’t.

Having great experience so far. The doctor are very attentive and explain things very thoroughly without pushing for unncesssary treatment. The clinic is well lit and very clean👍👍. It is on the first and second so it will be a bit hard if you have a bad leg.
