Oral and maxillofacial surgery deals with operations on the teeth, jaws, mouth and face. At the simpler end is oral surgery done in the dental chair: difficult extractions, wisdom teeth, cysts and bone grafts. At the other end is hospital surgery on the jawbones, facial fractures, salivary glands and joints.
Surgeons in this field work closely with orthodontists, implant dentists and ENT and plastic surgeons. Much of the planned work suits a short trip, but jaw realignment surgery is tied to one to two years of orthodontics and cannot be treated as a stand-alone operation.

Reisen nach Türkiye für diese Pflege
Wisdom tooth removal, cyst surgery, grafting and implant surgery are planned procedures that fit a stay of 5 to 10 days. Jaw realignment surgery requires braces before and after, so only consider it abroad if the orthodontics is coordinated in writing; allow at least 2 weeks before flying. Fractures and spreading infections are emergencies to treat where you are. Suspected mouth cancer should be investigated close to home, where the full treatment would take place.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Is this done by a dentist or a doctor?
In Türkiye these surgeons are dentists with a further specialist training of several years. In some countries they hold both medical and dental degrees.
Will I need a general anaesthetic?
Most chair-side oral surgery uses local anaesthetic, with sedation if you wish. Jaw surgery and large cysts need general anaesthesia in hospital.
How soon can I fly?
Usually 2 to 3 days after minor oral surgery. After a sinus lift avoid flying for about 1 to 2 weeks, and after jaw surgery about 2 weeks.
