Oral and Maxillofacial surgery in Aberdeen

Assessment and treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, head and neck

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialist area of surgery that bridges the two fields of medicine and dentistry. This means that surgeons within this speciality are trained in both dentistry and medicine.

Ours is a multidisciplinary approach that covers a range of conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, head, and neck. Our expert team uses a combination of in-house diagnostic imaging tools and techniques to diagnose the patient’s conditions. This may include OPG (dental X-ray) CT scan or MRI scan.

The type of treatment the patient receives depends on their condition. The Oral and Maxillofacial Consultant assesses each case individually and offers a specialist opinion and creates a tailor made treatment package to achieve optimum results. At every stage of treatment, the patient will be kept fully informed so that they know what is going to happen, understand aftercare instructions and healing times.
