What is oral and maxillofacial surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialist field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the teeth, jaws, mouth, and facial structures. It includes procedures such as tooth extractions, wisdom tooth removal, corrective jaw (orthognathic) surgery, and other complex surgical treatments.

Who may need oral and maxillofacial surgery?

You may benefit from oral and maxillofacial surgery if you have impacted wisdom teeth, severely damaged or infected teeth, jaw misalignment, facial trauma, jaw pain, or other conditions affecting the function or structure of your mouth and jaws.

What procedures are included in oral and maxillofacial surgery?

Depending on your needs, treatment may include tooth extraction, wisdom tooth removal, orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery, surgical exposure of impacted teeth, bone grafting, sinus lift procedures, dental implant surgery, and other reconstructive or corrective procedures.

Is oral and maxillofacial surgery painful?

Procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, sedation, or general anaesthetic, depending on the complexity of the treatment. Some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal afterwards, but these symptoms are usually well managed with prescribed medication.

How long is the recovery period?

Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Simple tooth extractions may heal within a few days, while wisdom tooth removal often requires one to two weeks for initial recovery. More complex procedures, such as orthognathic jaw surgery, involve a longer recovery period and your surgeon will provide a personalised recovery plan.

How long will I need to stay in Turkey?

The length of your stay depends on the procedure being performed. Simple surgical treatments may require only a few days, while more complex operations such as corrective jaw surgery typically require a longer stay to allow for post-operative monitoring and follow-up appointments.

Will I need a consultation before surgery?

Yes. Every patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment, which may include a clinical examination, digital X-rays, or 3D imaging. This allows your surgeon to diagnose your condition accurately and create a personalised treatment plan.

What can I eat after oral surgery?

After most oral surgical procedures, you should follow a soft-food diet while the surgical site heals. Your surgeon will advise you when you can gradually return to your normal diet based on your recovery and the type of procedure performed.

How can I support a smooth recovery?

Following your aftercare instructions, maintaining good oral hygiene, taking prescribed medications, avoiding smoking, and attending follow-up appointments all help promote healing and reduce the risk of complications.

THE PROCEDURE

What is oral & maxillofacial surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialised field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the teeth, jaws, mouth, and surrounding facial structures.

Unlike routine dental treatments, oral and maxillofacial surgery is used to manage conditions that require surgical intervention.
