Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
What Is Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS)?
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) is a specialised field of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and management of conditions involving the mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, facial bones, and associated structures. It is one of the most advanced and comprehensive specialties in dentistry, often bridging the gap between dental care and medical surgery.
At Dental Specialists @Scotts, our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons provide a full range of surgical solutions from routine wisdom tooth removal to complex jaw reconstruction and facial trauma management. With state-of-the-art technology, careful planning, and a patient-centred approach, we strive to deliver safe, predictable, and comfortable treatment outcomes for every patient.
Whether you require surgical management of impacted teeth, correction of jaw alignment, or treatment of facial injuries, our specialist team is committed to providing evidence-based, compassionate surgical care.
Conditions & Treatments We Offer
 Each treatment is performed with precision, modern imaging techniques, and personalised planning.
Impacted & Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth. Our surgeons perform minimally invasive surgical removal of wisdom teeth to relieve symptoms and prevent long-term complications. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
Dental Implants & Bone Grafting
We provide surgical placement of dental implants and advanced bone regeneration procedures to rebuild jaw structure where necessary. Treatments include sinus lifting, ridge augmentation, and bone grafting to restore support for future implants.
Corrective Jaw (Orthognathic) Surgery
Jaw misalignment can affect chewing, facial appearance, breathing, and speech. Corrective jaw surgery realigns the jaws to improve function and aesthetics. Our surgeons work closely with orthodontists to plan and execute precise surgical outcomes using 3D imaging and digital planning.
Facial Trauma & Injury Repair
Accidents or injuries to the face can lead to fractures of the jaw, cheekbones, or orbital bones. Our specialists are experienced in managing complex facial trauma, restoring both structure and function while minimising long-term complications and scarring.
TMJ Disorders (Temporomandibular Joint Disorders)
TMJ issues may cause jaw pain, clicking, difficulty opening the mouth, or tension headaches. We offer comprehensive assessment and a range of surgical and non-surgical treatment options depending on severity.
Infection & Abscess Management
Serious infections in the mouth or jaw may spread quickly and require immediate treatment. Our specialists manage deep-seated infections, perform drainage procedures, and remove the source of infection to prevent further complications.
