What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the mouth, jaw, face, and neck. From wisdom tooth extractions to corrective jaw surgery, OMFS combines medical and dental expertise to restore function, aesthetics, and oral health.
