Oral/Maxillofacial Surgery

Our team is committed to providing safe, effective surgical care tailored to your needs. We work closely with your physician to ensure you receive timely treatment and support every step of the way. Using some of the latest advancements in surgical technology, including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques, we focus on helping you heal quickly and comfortably so you can get back to your daily life.

Our Approach to Surgery

Whenever possible, our specialists perform oral and maxillofacial surgeries using minimally invasive methods. These techniques use smaller incisions, which often means less pain and a quicker recovery for you. We use advanced tools, such as surgical robots and laparoscopic equipment, to provide precision and care during your treatment. Fast-acting anesthetics also help you feel comfortable and aid in your recovery.

Before and After Your Surgery

We know preparing for surgery brings questions and sometimes worry. Our team will talk with you beforehand to explain the treatment, answer your questions, and help you understand what to expect. After your surgery, we will look after you closely, manage any discomfort, and go over your care instructions to support a smooth transition back home.

What types of oral and maxillofacial surgeries do you perform?
We perform a wide range of surgeries, including wisdom teeth extractions, corrective jaw surgery, treatment of facial trauma and fractures, dental implants, oral cancer treatments, and reconstructive surgery for congenital conditions like cleft lip and palate.

Will I need general anesthesia for my surgery?
The type of anesthesia used depends on the complexity of the procedure. Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation, but more complex surgeries may require general anesthesia. Your surgeon will discuss the best option for you before your surgery.

How long will it take to recover after my surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Minor surgeries, like tooth extractions, typically require only a few days of recovery. More complex surgeries, such as jaw realignment, could take several weeks to a few months for full recovery. Your surgeon will provide specific recovery guidelines based on your surgery.

Will I experience pain after surgery?
Some discomfort is normal after surgery, but we aim to minimize pain. Pain management medications will be provided to help you through the recovery process. Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort, which usually improves within a few days to a week.

Do I need to stop taking my medications before surgery?
It’s essential to inform your surgeon about any medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, or prescriptions. Some medications may need to be paused before surgery to avoid complications, while others should be continued. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions.

How should I prepare for oral surgery?
You will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare before surgery. This may include fasting for a certain period before the procedure. If you are having general anesthesia, please arrange transportation to and from the surgical center. Additionally, your surgeon will provide post-surgery care instructions.

Can I eat or drink after surgery?
Depending on the procedure, you may need to wait several hours before eating or drinking. For more extensive surgeries, a soft or liquid diet may be recommended for a time to help with healing.
