Irving Mandible & Jaw Reconstruction Surgery
Jaw defects can arise from several sources including facial trauma, which directly impacts the jaw bone, or infections that compromise its integrity. Additionally, these defects may result from flawed developmental processes where the jaw does not properly form in some regions. Furthermore, pathologic processes such as cysts, tumors, or cancers affecting the head and neck area can also lead to deformities in the jaw.
If there’s a defect in your jaw, our surgeons at DFW Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are ready to help. We perform jaw bone grafting in Irving, focusing on the reconstruction of both the maxillary (upper jaw) and mandibular (lower jaw). This procedure can range from minor to major grafting efforts, involving bone or soft tissue to effectively rebuild the jaw’s structure.
In mandible and jaw reconstruction surgery at our Irving office, our oral surgeons carefully review each case, using advanced imaging techniques to thoroughly assess the jaw’s condition. This crucial step allows our surgeons to develop a targeted approach for the reconstruction, ensuring the procedure is tailored specifically to meet the needs of each patient effectively.
Reconstructive jaw surgery often involves various procedures that enable our oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Irving to place dental implants. These implants are used to replace missing teeth, helping restore the patient’s dental health and functionality.
A jaw defect can interfere with your ability to chew, speak, and even breathe properly, affecting both appearance and self-esteem. Surgical interventions are available to correct such defects, helping to improve both function and aesthetic appearance, and ensuring a better quality of life.
