- Collaborative Care: Maxillofacial surgeons are typically dentists who undergo additional specialized training in oral and maxillofacial surgery. They work closely with other specialists to provide comprehensive care for the patients. This teamwork approach guarantees the best possible treatment for each patient’s unique needs.
- Wide Range of Procedures: The procedures include corrective jaw surgery, wisdom tooth extraction, cleft lip and palate repair, facial reconstruction after trauma caused by accidents or sport-related incidents and dental implant replacements. These interventions aim to restore both function and appearance.
