Oral & Maxillofacial Procedures

What Are Oral & Maxillofacial Procedures?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on treating diseases, injuries, and abnormalities involving the mouth, teeth, jaws, and facial structures. Depending on your condition, treatment may involve minor surgical procedures performed under local anaesthesia or more advanced surgical interventions.
