Some of the treatments performed by the maxillofacial surgeon are as follows:
oral medicine
An adequate exploration of the oral cavity, a radiological study and the study of the lesions that may appear at mucosal level will help us to correctly prevent oral cavity pathologies.
tooth extractions
When conservative treatment is not possible.
implantology
Teeth are a fundamental element of the oral cavity. When one or more teeth are lost, implants offer a solution for their replacement, which is essential for a beautiful smile.
graft
When we find ourselves in a situation of bone loss, bone regeneration of the maxilla or mandible may be necessary. These pre-prosthetic surgery techniques pave the way for the placement of dental implants in order to achieve a successful dental rehabilitation.
orthognathic surgery
The maxillofacial surgeon, together with the orthodontist, will be able to establish an orthodontic treatment plan and subsequent surgery that will allow the desired aesthetic and functional results to be obtained.
