Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a fascinating and specialized field that goes beyond traditional dental care, addressing a variety of complex conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and neck.

At Toothway Dental, we pride ourselves on providing comprehensive care, leveraging advanced techniques to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. Let’s delve into some of the key areas of this specialty.

Dentoalveolar Surgery

Dentoalveolar surgery focuses on the teeth and the surrounding alveolar bone, which supports the teeth. This includes common procedures like tooth extractions, removal of impacted teeth, and treatment of tooth infections.

Whether it’s a simple extraction or a more complex removal of impacted wisdom teeth, our team at Toothway Dental ensures a pain-free and smooth process. Using the latest techniques, we minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is often necessary to rebuild the jawbone structure that may have been lost due to tooth loss or trauma. This procedure provides a solid foundation for dental implants, ensuring long-term stability and function.

Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a durable and natural-looking alternative to dentures and bridges.

The process involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a root for the replacement tooth. Over time, the bone fuses with the post through a process called osseointegration, providing a strong foundation for the new tooth.

Maxillofacial Trauma

Maxillofacial trauma involves injuries to the face and jaw, often resulting from accidents or sports injuries. These injuries can range from minor fractures to complex reconstructive challenges.

Our surgeons are skilled in treating facial fractures, ensuring that the bones are realigned and stabilized for proper healing. This not only restores function but also maintains the aesthetic appearance of the face.

In addition to bone injuries, maxillofacial trauma can also involve damage to soft tissues, such as the skin, muscles, and nerves. Our team is experienced in repairing these tissues to restore both function and appearance.

Corrective Jaw Surgery

Also known as orthognathic surgery, corrective jaw surgery addresses issues related to jaw alignment and function, such as overbites, underbites, and jaw asymmetry.

This surgery can significantly improve chewing, speaking, and breathing functions. It also enhances facial harmony and appearance, boosting confidence and quality of life.

Oral Pathology

Oral pathology involves diagnosing and treating diseases of the mouth and jaws, including infections, cysts, tumors, and oral cancer.

Early detection is crucial for successful treatment of oral diseases. Regular dental check-ups and screenings help identify potential issues before they become serious, allowing for timely and effective treatment.

Our team performs biopsies and, if necessary, surgical removal of abnormal tissues, ensuring thorough treatment and monitoring for any signs of recurrence.

TMJ Disorders

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement.

Common symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately diagnose TMJ disorders and develop an effective treatment plan.

Treatment options range from conservative approaches like physical therapy and medication to more advanced solutions such as arthroscopic surgery or joint replacement, depending on the severity of the condition.

Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery

Cleft lip and palate are congenital deformities that affect the upper lip and roof of the mouth, impacting feeding, speech, and overall facial appearance.

We provide comprehensive care for individuals with cleft lip and palate, including surgical repair, orthodontic treatment, and speech therapy, to ensure optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Surgical correction is typically performed in stages, starting in infancy and continuing through early childhood, to ensure proper development and function.

Facial Cosmetic Surgery

Facial cosmetic surgery aims to enhance the appearance of the face through procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) and ear lobe repair.

Whether you’re looking to rejuvenate your appearance or correct specific facial features, our skilled surgeons offer a range of cosmetic procedures to help you achieve your desired look.

We work closely with each patient to understand their goals and create a personalized treatment plan that delivers natural-looking results and boosts confidence.

At Toothway Dental, we are committed to providing exceptional care in all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
