Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is a highly specialized area that is the connection between dental care and surgery which has the capacity to treat the functional and aesthetic problems of the mouth, jaws and face. In kids, these issues might have been caused by deformities of the body at birth, injuries, abnormal growth patterns or diseases of the mouth.

Firstly, our pediatric oral surgeons deliver not only the targeted solution that restores oral health but also, the solution that improves appearance, function, and confidence. Secondly, by treating these diseases early, we can be a source of support for the healthy growth and development of the child and, at the same time, prevent the occurrence of long-term complications.

Conditions Treated with Kid’s Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

At Dentistry Junior, we offer a wide range of surgical treatments tailored specifically to children’s needs. Each treatment is carried out with the utmost care, using minimally invasive approaches wherever possible.

Common Treatments Include:

• Dental Extractions: Removal of problematic teeth, including impacted wisdom teeth or extra teeth (supernumerary).

• Exposure of Impacted Teeth: Surgical exposure to bring buried or misaligned teeth into their proper position.

• Biopsies: Taking tissue samples for identifying and treating abnormal growths or ulcers.

• Cleft Lip and Palate Repair: Restorative surgery for congenital defect, apart from returning the function to the affected organ, also helps in speech and appearance.

• Disease Care: Treatment of conditions in the gums, jawbone, salivary glands, or oral nerves.

• Facial Trauma Care: The process of healing and rebuilding the face and jaw after the accident, injury, or the broken bone.

Such treatments focus extensively on etiology and, simultaneously, on the child’s general growth and development and future oral health.

Our Surgical Approach at Dentistry Junior

If only the children are given the treatment they deserve, most probably, they would be looking for thoughtful, gentle and specially adapted care. That is the reason why our approach to the oral surgery of children is based on three main things: safety, accuracy, and comfort.

• Child-Centered Care – A child is an individual. We cannot proceed with any surgical operation without getting to know and understanding their fears, concerns, and needs first.

• Advanced Technology – Modern diagnostic tools and surgical methods, including digital imaging and laser-assisted procedures, are what we use to achieve accuracy and comfort.

• Holistic Support – We not only do the surgery but also provide the children with the needed emotional support and give the parents the needed guidance so that the whole process is less stressful.
