Oral and Maxillofacial surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the surgical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, face and neck. It includes the diagnosis and management of facial injuries, head and neck cancers, salivary gland diseases, facial disproportion, facial pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, impacted teeth, and cysts and tumours of the jaws, as well as numerous problems affecting the oral mucosa such as mouth ulcers and infections.

 

The maxillofacial team at University Hospitals have improved the lives of many suffering from severely disfiguring and damaging diseases. Having diseases which affect these parts of your body - ones so obvious to others - can be physically and emotionally damaging. 

University Hospitals has a dedicated multi-disciplinary team to ensure our patients receive the best care possible in this area. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons frequently work alongside other specialists including orthodontists, oncologists, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, and ear, nose and throat surgeons, to achieve the maximum health benefit for our patients. 

A wide range of services are offered within the outpatient clinic, including, consultations, minor surgical procedures, and numerous investigations. When patients are referred, the appointment will be made for an initial consultation, where radiographs and other investigations maybe requested at this stage. 

It is very useful to us if you bring along a list of all your medications or an up-to-date prescription.

We are based in the Main Building on the Royal Stoke University Hospital site on Newcastle Road.
