What is craniofacial surgery?
Craniofacial surgery treats conditions of the jaws, face and skull — the bones that hold your teeth and shape your face. In dentistry it overlaps closely with oral and maxillofacial surgery: correcting the bite and jaw position, repairing facial injuries, and treating problems inside the jaw bone.
At JJM, craniofacial care looks at the relationship between your teeth, jaws and face together, so function, comfort and appearance are planned as one.
Problems a craniofacial surgeon can assess
The surgeon examines you and advises whether surgery is needed — many problems are managed without it.
Jaw & bite misalignment
Upper and lower jaws that don’t meet properly, affecting chewing, speech or facial balance. Corrective (orthognathic) jaw surgery is often planned together with braces.
Facial injuries & jaw fractures
Injuries to the jaw, cheekbones or face from falls, sports or road accidents.
Impacted wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth stuck in the bone, causing pain, swelling or damage to nearby teeth.
Jaw cysts & growths
Swellings or lesions in the jaw bone found on an X-ray or scan, assessed and removed when needed.
Jaw joint (TMJ) problems
Clicking, locking or pain in the jaw joint just in front of the ear.
Bone loss before implants
Rebuilding jaw bone with grafting so that dental implants can be placed securely.
