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.

After 25 years of trying to find a good dentist in KL have finally found one that is well equiped, knowledgable, skilled and good value. Lovely staff. The only downside is the parking but if you park ay MainPlace and walk across then it’s easy. Update 2022…I am still using this excellent dentist as they remain the best I have experienced over the past 26 years… Dentists, nurses, reception and equipment all top notch… Highly recommended.
