Our specialized maxillofacial surgeons at Enfield Royal Clinic, Islamabad, are a combination of medical and surgical expertise, which ensures that the function is restored, pain relief is achieved, and the aesthetics of the face are restored. It will provide you with all the information you need to know about maxillofacial surgery, such as what it treats, types of procedures, advantages, and expectations.
What is Maxillofacial Surgery?
Maxillofacial surgery (commonly known as oral and maxillofacial surgery) is a specialized medical profession involving the treatment of mouth, jaw, face, neck, and head diseases, injury and defects.
These are the only surgeons who have specialized in dentistry as well as in medicine and have the knowledge to perform tasks such as the removal of wisdom teeth to more intricate procedures such as the reconstruction of the jaw and the repair of fractured faces.
Why Choose Maxillofacial Surgery?
Dental issues are sometimes complicated to the extent that a general dentist cannot repair them. Patinets need maxillofacial surgery in case you have:
- Extreme misalignment of the jaw in relation to bite, speech, and breathing.
- Fracture of the face or injuries caused by accidents or sporting activities.
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders result in chronic pain.
- Multi-complicated dental surgeries, such as impacted wisdom teeth.
- Congenital ailments such as a cleft lip or palate.
- Doctors surgically remove cancers or tumors of the mouth.
- Serious loss of bone, which requires dental implants through grafts.
Common Maxillofacial Surgery Procedures
These are the most common maxillofacial surgeries:
Procedure | What It Treats | Recovery Time | Success Rate |
Dental Implants | Missing teeth restoration | 3-6 months | 95-98% |
Wisdom Tooth Extraction | Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth | 3-7 days | 98%+ |
Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic) | Misaligned jaws, bite problems | 6-12 weeks | 90-95% |
Facial Trauma Repair | Fractures, injuries from accidents | 4-8 weeks | 85-95% |
TMJ Treatment | Jaw joint pain and dysfunction | Varies | 80-90% |
Cleft Lip/Palate Repair | Congenital facial defects | Several stages | 95%+ |
Bone Grafting | Jawbone loss or deficiency | 4-6 months | 90-95% |
1. Dental Implants
Loss of teeth may not only affect your smile but also your chewing, talking, and jawbone condition. Dental implants are titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone, surgically, to ensure the replacement of missing tooth roots.
The implant serves as a fixed platform for crowns, bridges, or dentures. The success rates are greater than 95%, and with proper care, implants will last a lifetime.
2. Wisdom Tooth Extraction
The wisdom teeth are frequently affected, caught between the gums, or growing in an unnatural direction. This is painful, infectious, and destructive to the adjacent teeth.
Such problematic teeth are surgically extracted before they bring about severe complications. The process of recovery usually takes less than one week.
3. Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Misalignment of the jaws may result in problems in chewing, talking, breathing, and persistent pain. Orthognathic surgery is used to correct structural issues by shifting the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both.
This treatment radically increases the functionality and looks. The years of jaw pain and discomfort bring relief to many patients of a life-changing type.
4. Facial Trauma Repair
Facial bones may be broken by accidents, falls, and sports injuries. Maxillofacial surgeons are specialists who deal with the repair of these fractures without altering appearance or functionality.
Wiring, plating, or repairing injured bones may be used as a treatment method. Complications and scarring are prevented by early intervention.
5. TMJ Treatment
The disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are associated with aches of the jaws, clicking, locking, and headaches. Surgery can be required in case of failure of conservative treatments.
The treatment options include arthroscopy with minimal invasiveness at one end of the spectrum and total joint replacement at the extreme end. The majority of patients report a great relief in pain, and their jaw performs better.
6. Cleft Lip and Palate Repair
Infants with cleft palate or lip have feeding challenges, speech disorders, and dental problems. These congenital defects are repaired through surgery, which is usually done in phases as the child matures.
Surgical intervention at an early stage will help normal development and will avoid complications.
7. Bone Grafting
Due to tooth loss, bone loses its density. Bone grafting reconstructs missing bone density, which forms a sound basis for dental implants.
Grafts are based on the use of your own bones, donor bones, or artificial substances. Before the implantation, the grafted bone integrates in several months.
Advantages and Potential Risk
Benefits | Potential Risks |
Restores proper jaw function | Infection (rare with proper care) |
Improves facial aesthetics and symmetry | Temporary swelling and bruising |
Enhances speech and chewing ability | Nerve damage (very rare) |
Relieves chronic pain (TMJ, headaches) | Bleeding during or after surgery |
Boosts self-confidence and quality of life | Prolonged numbness or tingling |
Corrects breathing problems | Reaction to anesthesia |
Long-lasting, permanent results | Need for revision surgery (uncommon) |

FAQS
How long does recovery take after jaw surgery?
Initial healing takes 6-12 weeks, but complete bone healing can take 3-6 months. You can typically return to light activities within 2-3 weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific recovery timelines based on your procedure.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a success rate of 95-98% when performed by experienced surgeons. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups help maintain implant longevity. Many implants last 20+ years or even a lifetime.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth should be removed if they're impacted, causing pain, damaging adjacent teeth, contributing to crowding, or at risk of infection. Many dentists recommend removal in late teens or early 20s when roots aren't fully formed, making extraction easier and recovery faster.
Will maxillofacial surgery change my facial appearance?
Some procedures (like jaw surgery) improve facial symmetry and proportions, resulting in aesthetic enhancement alongside functional improvements. Surgeons carefully plan procedures to achieve natural-looking results that harmonize with your facial features. Before-and-after simulations help you visualize expected changes.
