Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery in Singapore is used to help improve jaw function, treat dental problems and reduce pain and discomfort. Common procedures include:

• Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) - This helps to realign the jaws or correct a crooked bite.
• Mandibular joint surgery - It is used to treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by restoring and realigning the jaw.
• Oral, head and neck treatment - This surgical procedure is done to remove cancerous tissues found in the head and neck and repair the surgical site for facial improvement.
• Facial trauma treatment - It helps treat facial injuries such as facial fractures or damage to maxillofacial tissue.
• Bone grafting - It involves the replacement of missing bone in the jaw through the implantation of an autologous bone.
• Craniofacial surgery - It is used to correct cleft lip and palate and other congenital abnormalities to restore function and appearance.
• Dental implants - It includes the placement of metal posts or frames inside the jawbone where teeth are missing to maintain facial structure and avoid bone deterioration.
• Wisdom tooth extraction - This procedure is typically used to remove an impact wisdom tooth, or pre-emptively as recommended.
