Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
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.
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.
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.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
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.
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.
A hospital maxillofacial team repositions the bone fragments to restore the natural facial structure, focusing on stability and anatomical accuracy.
The hospital team secures the bone using plates or screws, which keeps the fracture stable while the body repairs the break.
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.
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.
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.
Fees depend on the complexity of the fracture. You get a detailed cost breakdown for your clinical assessment once we have examined the injury. Surgical fees are separate and set by the hospital team.
The duration of the procedure varies based on the specific bones requiring repair. We will outline the expected timeframe during your initial consultation, and the hospital team confirms surgical scheduling.
We assess your suitability for referral, and discuss how pain and anxiety will be managed for patients who feel anxious about the process.
The goal of the surgery is to restore the bone to its original position for lasting stability. Your clinician will discuss the long-term outlook and recovery expectations during your assessment.
We determine the extent of the damage and the necessary repair during your first visit. This clinical assessment lets us explain the specific requirements of your case and provide a clear timeline for recovery. You can learn more about what happens at your oral surgery consultation and how to book to begin this process.
