Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialty focused on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face and related structures.

These may include oral and maxillofacial tumours, facial injuries, jaw fractures, cleft lip and palate, jaw discrepancies, selected TMJ conditions, complex infections and other surgical conditions involving the mouth and face.

A mouth ulcer that does not heal, repeatedly returns or is accompanied by a lump, bleeding, numbness or difficulty swallowing should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

No. Many mouth ulcers are caused by non-cancerous conditions. An ulcer that persists, repeatedly returns or is associated with other concerning changes should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

No. Treatment depends on the diagnosis, type of lesion, symptoms, investigation results and clinical assessment. Some lesions may require observation or other treatment.

A biopsy is a procedure in which a small tissue sample is taken for laboratory examination. It may be recommended to determine the nature of a suspicious lesion.

Surgery is one possible treatment for selected oral cancers. The appropriate approach depends on the type, site and stage of disease and the overall treatment plan.

Not every fracture requires an operation. Treatment depends on the fracture location, displacement, effect on function, associated injuries and clinical assessment.

Facial reconstruction surgery refers to procedures intended to repair or restore form and, where possible, function after tissue loss caused by tumour removal, trauma or other conditions.

Selected skeletal jaw discrepancies may be treated with orthognathic surgery. Suitability depends on examination, imaging, dental assessment and treatment planning.

The temporomandibular joint connects the lower jaw to the skull. Disorders may cause pain, restricted movement, clicking or difficulty chewing. Assessment is needed to identify the cause.

Surgery may be considered when an impacted or partially erupted wisdom tooth causes infection, decay, damage to nearby structures, cystic change or other clinical problems.

No. Suitability depends on oral and general health, bone availability, local anatomy, treatment goals and other clinical factors. An individual assessment is required.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are congenital conditions in which tissues of the upper lip and/or palate do not join completely during development. Care may involve a coordinated team and treatment at different stages.

Distraction osteogenesis is a technique that gradually lengthens bone using a specialised device. It is used in selected cases after careful planning.

Call or WhatsApp the hotline, or send an enquiry from the Chamber & Contact page. An enquiry is a request, not a confirmed appointment — please wait for confirmation of the day and time before visiting.

Bring previous prescriptions, investigation reports, imaging, biopsy or pathology reports, a list of current medicines and relevant medical history.

No. Website information and online enquiries do not replace clinical examination, diagnostic tests or an individual consultation.

Follow-up depends on the procedure and individual recovery. The treating team will provide instructions about wound care, medicines, diet, activity and review appointments.

Seek urgent medical assessment at an appropriate emergency facility. Do not wait for a routine appointment when symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening.
