Core Medical Specialities
Advanced Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery .
The Maxillofacial department at Gifted Hands Hospital specialises in treating injuries, diseases, and defects in the head, neck, face, and jaws.
Our surgeons combine surgical precision with an artistic eye to restore both the function and appearance of the facial structures. From corrective jaw surgery and facial trauma repair to dental implants and TMJ treatment, we provide comprehensive oral and maxillofacial care.
Technology and Infrastructure
The Gifted Hands Advantage
Our Maxillofacial department uses advanced planning technology and a multidisciplinary approach to deliver precise, natural-looking results for every patient.
01
3D Surgical Planning:
We use advanced digital imaging and 3D modelling to simulate surgical outcomes before the procedure begins, allowing patients and surgeons to plan with complete confidence.
02
Aesthetic Sensitivity:
Our surgeons prioritize minimal scarring and natural-looking results for all facial procedures, placing incisions inside the mouth or along natural skin creases wherever possible.
03
Multidisciplinary Coordination:
We work closely with orthodontists, ENT specialists, and oncologists to provide comprehensive, integrated patient care for complex facial and jaw conditions.
Clinical Approach
Restoring Function and Aesthetics Together
Our philosophy is that the best facial surgery achieves both a functional and a beautiful outcome. We treat the whole patient, not just the condition.
01
Corrective & Reconstructive Surgery:
We address structural issues of the face and jaw to improve breathing, chewing, and speaking — including Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery, Facial Trauma Reconstruction, and Cleft Lip & Palate Repair.
02
Oral Surgical Procedures:
Advanced care for complex dental and oral conditions including safe removal of impacted wisdom teeth, Dental Implantology with bone grafting, and diagnosis and treatment of oral cysts and tumors.
03
TMJ & Facial Pain Management:
Surgical and non-surgical management of Temporomandibular Joint pain and dysfunction, alongside surgical solutions to clear airway obstructions for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP machines.
Key Procedures
Specialized Procedures We Offer
.
Orthognathic Surgery (Corrective Jaw Surgery):
Correcting misaligned jaws to improve facial symmetry, bite function, and chronic issues with chewing, speech, or obstructive sleep apnea.
Facial Trauma Reconstruction & Cleft Repair:
Expert repair of facial bone fractures and soft tissue injuries from accidents, alongside specialised surgical intervention for congenital cleft lip and palate.
Dental Implantology & Complex Extractions:
Permanent tooth replacement using advanced bone grafting techniques, and safe removal of impacted wisdom teeth and deeply embedded roots.
TMJ Disorders & Sleep Apnea Surgery:
Comprehensive management of jaw joint pain and dysfunction, and surgical repositioning of the jaw to provide permanent relief for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Q: What is the difference between a dentist and a maxillofacial surgeon?
A: While dentists handle general tooth and gum care, Maxillofacial surgeons undergo 4-6 years of additional hospital-based surgical residency, qualifying them to perform complex surgeries on the entire facial structure and jaws.
Q: Is jaw surgery (Orthognathic surgery) purely cosmetic?
A: No. While it significantly improves facial appearance, its primary goal is usually functional — correcting issues with chewing, speech, chronic jaw pain, or obstructive sleep apnea.
Q: How long is the recovery after wisdom tooth removal?
A: Most patients experience swelling for 3-5 days. You can usually return to normal activities within a week, provided you follow our post-operative care instructions.
Q: Can Maxillofacial surgery help with severe snoring?
A: Yes. If snoring is caused by Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) due to the structure of the jaw or airway, surgical repositioning can provide permanent relief.
Q: What is a bone graft in dental implants?
A: If your jawbone is not thick enough to support an implant, we perform a bone graft to create a solid foundation for the new tooth.
Q: Will I have visible scars after facial trauma surgery?
A: Our surgeons are trained to use "aesthetic masking," placing incisions inside the mouth or along natural skin creases to ensure that any scarring is virtually invisible.
Q: Is TMJ surgery the only option for jaw pain?
A: Not at all. We always explore conservative treatments like mouthguards, physical therapy, or injections first. Surgery is only recommended if non-invasive methods fail.
Q: How do I prepare for a Maxillofacial consultation?
A: Bring any recent dental X-rays or CT scans you have. Be prepared to discuss your medical history, specifically any issues related to breathing, biting, or facial pain.
