Jaw reconstruction surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a procedure that corrects irregularities of the jaw bones and realigns the jaws and teeth to improve their function. At London Dental Specialists, our jaw reconstruction procedures address both functional issues (such as difficulty chewing, speaking, or breathing) and aesthetic concerns. The surgery involves repositioning the jawbones to create proper alignment, which can significantly improve both oral function and facial appearance.
Patients who may benefit from jaw reconstruction at London Dental Specialists include:
At London Dental Specialists, jaw reconstruction is performed using advanced techniques tailored to each patient's specific needs. The procedure typically involves making precise cuts in the jawbone to reposition it correctly. Bone plates and screws are used to secure the jaw in its new position. In some cases, bone grafting may be necessary, using bone from another part of the body (such as the hip or rib) or synthetic materials. Our surgeons use computer-aided planning and 3D imaging to ensure optimal precision and results.
Recovery from jaw reconstruction surgery at London Dental Specialists typically takes 6-12 weeks. Initial healing occurs within the first 2 weeks, during which patients may experience swelling, discomfort, and limited jaw movement. Most patients can return to work or school after 2-3 weeks, though strenuous activities should be avoided for 6 weeks. Complete healing and final results may take 6-12 months. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare to ensure optimal healing and results.
The cost of jaw reconstruction at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, the extent of correction needed, and whether additional procedures (such as bone grafting) are required. During your consultation, we provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. Some procedures may be partially covered by the NHS or private insurance if they address functional issues rather than purely cosmetic concerns. We offer various payment options to help make treatment accessible.
As with any surgical procedure, jaw reconstruction carries certain risks. At London Dental Specialists, we minimise these through meticulous planning and expert surgical technique. Potential risks include:
Our surgeons discuss all potential risks thoroughly during consultation and take every precaution to ensure safe, successful outcomes.
Many patients at London Dental Specialists require orthodontic treatment before and after jaw reconstruction surgery. Pre-surgical orthodontics aligns the teeth in preparation for optimal jaw positioning, while post-surgical orthodontics fine-tunes the bite. Typically, braces are worn for 12-18 months before surgery and 6-12 months after. Our orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons work closely together to coordinate this treatment, ensuring the best possible functional and aesthetic results.
With proper care, the results of jaw reconstruction surgery at London Dental Specialists are permanent. The repositioned jaw bones typically heal solidly in their new positions within 6-12 weeks. To maintain optimal results, patients should attend regular follow-up appointments, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and follow all post-operative instructions. Wearing retainers as directed after any orthodontic treatment is also essential to prevent teeth from shifting, which could affect bite alignment.
London Dental Specialists offers exceptional jaw reconstruction services distinguished by our multidisciplinary approach. Our team includes maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, and restorative dentists who collaborate to provide comprehensive care. We utilise the latest 3D imaging and computer-aided surgical planning for precise outcomes. Each treatment plan is personalised to address the patient's specific functional and aesthetic goals. Our state-of-the-art facility and commitment to patient comfort ensure a positive experience throughout the treatment journey.
