Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a dental specialty that deals with surgical treatments of the mouth, jaws, face, and neck, such as wisdom teeth removal, jaw correction, facial trauma repair, and dental implants placement, to restore oral health and facial harmony.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers the surgical side of dentistry: impacted wisdom teeth, difficult extractions, cysts and lesions of the jaw, implant placement, and the repair of facial injuries. BR Dental Hospital has an oral and maxillofacial surgeon on the team, so cases needing surgical management can be handled here rather than referred out of Dang. Every case begins with an examination and imaging to plan the approach.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: common questions
Do impacted wisdom teeth always need removing?
Not always. Removal is usually advised when they cause repeated infection, decay, pain or damage to the neighbouring tooth. A trouble-free wisdom tooth is often left alone and monitored.
Will I be awake during the surgery?
Most oral surgery in the clinic is carried out under local anaesthetic while you are awake but numb. Your surgeon will discuss the options for your case beforehand.
How long does recovery take?
Swelling and discomfort are usually worst in the first two to three days and then settle over the following week. You will be given specific aftercare instructions for your procedure.
