About the Specialty
What Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
It is a dental surgical specialty concerned with conditions affecting the teeth, mouth, jaws and related facial structures.
Care may range from a minor procedure under local anaesthesia to a more complex hospital-based operation. The surgeon recommends the safest setting only after assessment.
Mouth and Jaw Conditions
Assessment of selected cysts, swellings, lesions, unerupted teeth, jaw joint concerns and bite-related problems.
Facial Structures and Injuries
Specialist evaluation of injuries affecting the teeth, mouth, jaws and facial bones.
Diagnosis Before Treatment
Medical history, clinical findings and imaging are reviewed before recommending surgery or referral.
What May Be Managed by an Oral Surgeon?
Recommendations depend on the diagnosis, condition complexity, imaging findings and the patient’s general health.
Impacted or Difficult Wisdom Teeth
Assessment and removal of wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, decay, gum disease, cyst formation or damage to neighbouring teeth.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
Removal of teeth that cannot be safely treated through a routine extraction because of their position, condition or root anatomy.
Cysts, Swellings and Biopsy
Assessment, biopsy or removal of selected cysts, swellings and abnormal oral tissues to establish a diagnosis.
Implant Surgery and Bone Grafting
Dental implant placement and bone grafting where clinically indicated to support missing-tooth replacement.
Exposure of Unerupted Teeth

Jaw Joint and Alignment Assessment

Dental and Facial Injuries

Diagnosis, imaging and health history guide the safest next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Your surgeon will provide advice specific to the diagnosis and planned procedure.
Will I need a scan before surgery?
Not always. The surgeon selects imaging according to the condition. Some cases need only a dental X-ray, while others may benefit from a three-dimensional CBCT scan.
Is oral surgery painful?
Anaesthesia is used to control discomfort during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling may occur afterwards and are managed according to the surgeon’s instructions.
Will every procedure be completed at the dental clinic?
No. The safest setting depends on the procedure complexity, the form of anaesthesia and your health. Some cases may require treatment or referral in a hospital setting.
How long will recovery take?
Recovery time varies with the procedure and the individual. The surgeon will provide guidance after assessing your case rather than giving one fixed timeline for every surgery.
