Oral and jaw surgery planned with imaging, including implant-related bone work when indicated.
Oral and jaw surgery covers procedures on the teeth, jawbones and surrounding tissues. Common examples include removing impacted wisdom teeth, bone grafting and sinus lifts before implants, and removing cysts.
Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery), which repositions the jaws, is a major operation usually planned together with orthodontic treatment over many months. It is assessed case by case and is not a quick, single-trip procedure.
These are general points only. Your dentist confirms what is suitable after an examination, which usually includes X-rays or a 3D scan, and may recommend a different or more conservative option.
A 3D scan shows the bone, teeth, nerves and sinuses, and the surgeon explains what the procedure involves.
The type of anaesthesia, any hospital stay and the recovery plan are agreed in advance.
The procedure is carried out by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in a suitable clinical setting.
Healing is checked, stitches are removed if needed and next steps such as implant placement are scheduled.
Swelling, bruising and discomfort are usually at their worst. Cold compresses, a soft diet and prescribed medication help.
Swelling settles and stitches dissolve or are removed. Most people return to normal activities, depending on the procedure.
Bone grafts and larger procedures need several months to heal fully before further treatment such as implants.
Timelines vary between people. Always follow the aftercare instructions from your treating clinic.
Many oral surgery procedures are done under local anaesthesia, sometimes with sedation. Larger operations, including corrective jaw surgery, are done under general anaesthesia.
Usually not. It typically involves orthodontic treatment before and after surgery and a longer recovery, so the specialist will discuss whether treatment abroad is practical.
It depends on the treatment. Ceramic veneers and crowns are usually completed in one stay of around a week, while implants normally need two visits a few months apart to allow healing. Your coordinator confirms the schedule once the dentist has reviewed your X-rays or scan.
The price depends on the number of teeth involved, the materials and any preparatory work the dentist finds necessary. You receive a written, itemised plan and quote before anything is booked, with no obligation to proceed.
Share your details and a coordinator will reply with clear next steps. There is no obligation to proceed.
