Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon performs surgical procedures to treat conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, and face. You might work in a hospital, specialised surgical centre, or private practice. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons focus on managing trauma, correcting congenital deformities, and addressing diseases of the oral and facial regions. You’ll conduct surgeries, perform complex reconstructions, and work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons play a critical role in restoring patients’ health and quality of life. You’ll need exceptional surgical skills and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. Strong communication skills are essential to explain procedures and recovery processes to patients, and empathy is crucial for providing comprehensive care.
