Oral And Maxillofacial Surgeon

An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon (OMS) is a dental specialist who has completed several additional years of hospital-based surgical and medical training after dental school. This extensive training equips them with the expertise to diagnose and treat a wide range of complex dental and facial conditions that go beyond the scope of general dentistry. OMSs are skilled in performing surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. Their expertise includes the surgical placement of dental implants, complex tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth), corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery), treatment of facial trauma (fractures of the jaws, cheekbones, and nose), management of oral and facial infections, diagnosis and surgical treatment of oral cancer and other oral pathologies, and treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Due to their surgical focus and medical training, OMSs often work in hospital settings alongside other medical specialists. They are proficient in administering various forms of anesthesia, including local anesthesia, conscious sedation, and general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety during complex procedures. When considering procedures like dental implants, especially in cases with significant bone loss or complex anatomical considerations, an OMS may be the most qualified professional. Similarly, corrective jaw surgery to address skeletal discrepancies affecting bite and facial aesthetics requires the specialized skills of an OMS. In cases of facial trauma resulting from accidents or injuries, an OMS plays a critical role in restoring function and appearance. Understanding the specialized training and scope of practice of an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is essential for seeking the appropriate care for complex dental and facial conditions.
