Treatment of Facial Injury

Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries, and defects involving the mouth, jaw, teeth, neck, and face. They are trained to perform a variety of functions including wisdom tooth removal, jaw reconstruction, tooth extraction, facial trauma surgery, and dental implants. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons also repair facial abnormalities with cosmetic surgery.
