FAQs
- Oral surgery typically refers to procedures limited to the mouth and teeth, such as extractions and implants. Maxillofacial surgery extends to the jaws, face, and neck, covering trauma, cancer, reconstructive surgery, and congenital deformities. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery combines both, requiring dual qualifications in dentistry and medicine.
- An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is sometimes called an OMFS specialist, a jaw surgeon, or a craniofacial surgeon. In some contexts, the term 'oral surgeon' is used informally, though this does not fully reflect the specialty's scope, which extends well beyond the mouth to the jaws, face, and neck.
- The team at SL Raheja Hospital, Mahim West, Mumbai treats facial trauma, head and neck cancers, salivary gland diseases, jaw misalignment, TMJ disorders, impacted teeth, cysts and tumours of the jaws, cleft lip and palate, oral mucosal conditions, and facial skin tumours, among other conditions.
- There is no fixed age limit for maxillofacial surgery. Eligibility depends on the specific procedure and the patient's overall health. Some surgeries, such as orthognathic correction for jaw growth, are typically performed after skeletal maturity. Others, such as cleft lip repair, are carried out in infancy. Your surgeon will advise based on your individual case.
- The right surgeon depends on your specific diagnosis — whether it involves trauma, cancer, reconstructive surgery, or a dental or jaw condition. At SL Raheja Hospital in Mumbai, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery team includes specialists across these subspecialties. Use the booking form on this page or email info@rahejahospital.com to be directed to the appropriate specialist.
- It depends on the procedure. Minor interventions such as removal of impacted teeth, implant placement, and soft tissue procedures are often performed under local anaesthesia or conscious sedation as outpatient cases. More complex operations — including cancer surgery, reconstructive procedures, orthognathic surgery, and trauma management — are performed under general anaesthesia on an inpatient basis.
