What is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon?

Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons are senior specialists in dentistry in the field of surgical management of the mouth and its related structures.

It is the only dental speciality also recognized as a specialty in medicine.

These specialists have extensive medical and dental training in management of bone and the soft tissues of the mouth and face.

In addition, a great deal of their training relates to management of simple to complex problems of facial harmony. Their core training is safe management of teeth and jaw problems and theses problems may involve surgical management of the simplest to the most complicated of mouth procedures.

Implant dentistry can sometimes demand all of these complex skills to obtain the best patient outcomes. Best practice and best outcomes are the core objective at Aii.

The Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon is the ‘go to’ expert when only the best will do, and we believe that all patients deserve the best.
