Facial fracture repair in London

Facial fracture repair restores the structural integrity and appearance of the face after trauma. We assess the extent of the injury during your first visit and refer you to a hospital maxillofacial team for the surgery itself.

The time required for repair depends on the complexity of the fracture. A consultation with Dr Ope Sodeinde determines your specific recovery timeline.

Identifying oral pathologies and bone loss

Finding a lump, persistent swelling, or a gap in your jaw can be unsettling. You may be unsure if your symptoms are a temporary inflammation or something requiring a biopsy, where we extract a small tissue sample for laboratory examination. Accurate identification is the only way to determine the right treatment. We use diagnostic imaging to identify lesions and oral pathologies correctly. If you need oral surgery in London, we follow strict infection prevention protocols to keep you safe.

Some of you may be dealing with bone loss in the jaw. This often happens alongside tooth loss and can make restoration difficult. We provide bone grafting to add tissue to these affected areas, which is an essential step for those needing implants. Whether you are facing chronic TMD symptoms or need wisdom teeth removal due to crowding, a consultation allows us to assess your specific case.

Specialist surgical planning for facial trauma

Choosing the wrong surgical approach can lead to long-term misalignment. We provide specialist-led planning so every fracture is assessed accurately before referral.

Cost is often a primary concern for those seeking urgent repair. We use a diagnosis-first consultation to provide pricing transparency, with an itemised cost before any fees are finalised. This process prevents unexpected costs and means the referral matches your specific injury.

Our assessment extends to complex cases. We coordinate referral for corrective jaw surgery, jaw reconstruction, and distraction osteogenesis for patients requiring advanced structural restoration.

Who can benefit from bone realignment

We treat patients who have suffered structural damage to the mid-face or jaw. A serious diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but we focus on assessing the natural alignment of your features. We address concerns regarding nerve damage and stability during the planning phase, so the approach is predictable. If you are unsure which oral surgery procedures fit your specific injury, we can clarify this during your visit.

Fear of the dentist or anxiety about surgical intervention is a common hurdle. We provide a calm environment to reduce this stress. Your suitability for referral is determined during a clinical assessment, where we evaluate the extent of the fracture and your overall health.

Your path to bone repair

Fracture assessment

We begin by examining the extent of the injury. This clinical review determines if the bone requires manual realignment or surgical fixation. We use this stage to identify any associated needs for orthognathic (jaw) surgery.

Surgical realignment

A hospital maxillofacial team repositions the bone fragments to restore the natural facial structure, focusing on stability and anatomical accuracy.

Fixation and stability

The hospital team secures the bone using plates or screws, which keeps the fracture stable while the body repairs the break.

Post-operative monitoring

We track your progress through scheduled reviews. These visits allow us to monitor the bone's union and manage any complications. We provide clear guidance on activity levels to protect the repair.

Functional recovery

The final stage focuses on returning your jaw and facial muscles to full movement. We assess your bite and facial symmetry to check the repair supports both function and appearance.

Clinical precision in oral surgery

We use 3D imaging technology to plan surgery and check optimal placement for dental implants. This structured approach is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), whose surgical capabilities range from simple tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal to complex surgical extractions.

Patient experiences in Primrose Hill

We understand that the prospect of oral surgery can feel overwhelming. Many of our patients arrive feeling anxious about the process, so we maintain a calm, unhurried environment. We focus on professional, honest options and no-pressure consultations at our Primrose Hill practice.

Dental work makes me very nervous and Ope is a genuinely calming and professional presence which made it hard not to be at ease.
