What is Maxillofacial Reconstruction?

It is a challenging procedure that helps treat acquired jaw defects following ablative tumour surgery or trauma to the oro-facial region. Without the procedure, the patients often suffer from reduced quality of life which includes impaired speech, chewing and swallowing, or aesthetics. After the reconstruction is complete patients are advised to undergo rehabilitation to restore jaw functionality.

How can I determine if I am a candidate for a dental implant?

Almost every person missing one or more teeth and having good health is a candidate for dental implants. A candidate's appropriateness for the surgery is dependent on the quantity and quality of their jaw bone. However, oral maxillofacial surgeons can treat patients with significant bone loss with bone reconstruction procedures, enabling them to be candidates for dental implants.

What happens before surgery?

You will meet with our maxillofacial surgeon, who will ask about your symptoms, take your medical history, and collect information on current medications you take. Following the examination of your oral cavity and surrounding structures, further tests such as dental X-rays may be ordered to obtain a detailed view of the affected area

What happens during the surgery?

Depending on the complexity of the condition, some maxillofacial procedures are performed on an outpatient basis while a few other conditions may require multiple surgeries to achieve the desired results. All the procedures are performed under anaesthesia. At the end of the procedure, stitches may be placed and the wound is packed to facilitate healing.

What happens after the surgery?

If you are treated on an outpatient basis, you can return home after the procedure. Individuals administered general anaesthesia are monitored in the hospital until its effect wears off. All patients will be prescribed painkillers to alleviate pain. You may experience some amount of bleeding, bruising, and limitation in jaw movements post-surgery.

What measures can I take for faster recovery?

Our healthcare provider will provide you with instructions before discharge, which includes:

Applying ice packs to reduce swelling
Consuming liquid or semi-solid diet
Avoiding alcohol and tobacco for a few days post-surgery
Rinse your teeth instead of brushing
Ensure you rest adequately

What should I eat after oral surgery?

Depending on the type of surgery, your surgeon may recommend a liquid or soft-food diet.
