Maxillofacial Surgery, formally known as Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS), is a highly specialized surgical field dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases, injuries, and defects focusing on the aesthetic and functional aspects of the mouth, jaws, face, and associated structures of the head and neck. It is a unique bridge between medicine and dentistry, requiring extensive training in both disciplines.
Our Maxillofacial Surgery services represent the highest standard of care in addressing complex conditions affecting the facial region. More than just surgical intervention, it's about a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to restore optimal health, improve function, alleviate pain, and enhance overall quality of life.
