What Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is a medical-dental specialty dealing with diseases, trauma, and defects in the face, jaws, mouth, and neck. It includes everything from removing impacted wisdom teeth to reconstructing facial bones after an accident.

It’s a bridge between medicine and dentistry, combining deep anatomical knowledge with advanced surgical skills. At Leela Hospital, we offer both outpatient and inpatient maxillofacial procedures under one roof—delivering safe, seamless, and customized treatments for every patient.

Common Conditions Treated

1. Dentoalveolar Surgery

This includes extraction of impacted or infected teeth, removal of cysts or benign jaw tumors, and bone grafting procedures to support future implants. Patients with overcrowded teeth or orthodontic concerns often begin with dentoalveolar surgery.

2. Dental Implant Surgery

Whether you're missing one tooth or an entire arch, dental implant treatment offers a permanent, natural-looking solution. We use 3D-guided techniques and internationally approved implant systems to restore function, confidence, and smile aesthetics.

3. Maxillofacial Trauma Management

In cases of road accidents, falls, or sports injuries, the maxillofacial region can suffer serious damage. Our trauma care unit handles fractures of the jaw, cheekbone, eye socket, and nasal bones, ensuring proper bone alignment and facial restoration.

4. Corrective Jaw (Orthognathic) Surgery

Jaw misalignments can lead to difficulty in chewing, breathing problems, speech disorders, and even aesthetic imbalance. Orthognathic surgery repositions the jaws to improve bite function, sleep apnea, and facial symmetry, and often complements orthodontic care.

5. TMJ Disorders and Treatment

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders cause jaw pain, limited movement, and popping sounds. Our treatments range from conservative therapies like bite splints and physiotherapy to arthroscopic surgery, depending on the severity.

6. Oral Pathology and Lesion Removal

Early detection of abnormal tissues—such as oral precancerous lesions, white/red patches, or suspicious ulcers—is vital. Our specialists perform biopsies, lesion excisions, and coordinate with pathology labs for accurate diagnosis and follow-up.

7. Cleft Lip and Palate Repair

We provide comprehensive cleft care for infants and children. These reconstructive surgeries are essential for proper speech development, feeding, and emotional well-being. Multidisciplinary support, including speech therapy and follow-up surgeries, is part of our care plan.

8. Facial Cosmetic Surgeries

Surgical enhancement procedures like chin reshaping (genioplasty), rhinoplasty (nose surgery), and scar revision help patients feel more confident in their appearance. These are performed with a focus on balance, proportion, and natural results.

Who Should Consider Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery?

1. Severe toothache or impacted wisdom teeth
2. Jaw pain or clicking while chewing
3. Missing teeth that need long-term restoration
4. Difficulty in speech or bite alignment
5. Facial trauma from accidents
