Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of complex conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and surrounding structures. KPI: Clinical Services provides private, consultant-led surgical care for adults who require specialist clinical assessment and treatment.

Conditions commonly treated

Oral and maxillofacial surgery may be recommended when conditions are complex, recurrent, or unsuitable for routine care. Our specialist clinicians regularly assess and manage:

  • Impacted or difficult wisdom teeth
  • Complex tooth extractions
  • Jaw pain and facial pain
  • TMJ disorders
  • Jaw alignment and bite-related issues
  • Oral lesions and abnormalities
  • Facial swelling or infection
  • Trauma-related oral or facial injuries
  • Non-healing oral conditions

Specialist oral and maxillofacial surgery often brings clarity and resolution for patients living with ongoing pain or unresolved symptoms. A detailed specialist assessment allows us to recommend the most appropriate and effective treatment, tailored to each individual.
