Oral (or Maxillofacial) surgery is the branch of dentistry concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, face and neck.
Typically Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons undertake difficult wisdom tooth extractions and also treat and diagnose many diseases of the oral cavity. This includes cysts, disorders that are separate to gum disease affecting soft and hard tissues of the mouth.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons also care for accident victims suffering facial injuries, offer reconstructive and Dental Implant surgery, while also assisting patients with dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint and facial pain.
Many of these problems can be treated successfully within Brooklands Dental Clinic and the majority of the oral surgery procedures we undertake do not require hospitalization. Please click on the links below to read more about our Specialist Dentistry services:

Maximum comfort during your specialist treatment…
At Brooklands Dental Clinic we also provide Sedation Dentistry for maximum patient comfort during your oral surgery. With Sedation Dentistry you can receive the treatment you need while you sit back and relax in a dream-like-state, often waking up with no recollection of the procedure. Depending on your individual needs, Sedation Dentistry may last between 2 to 6 hours. |
