(HealthNewsDigest.com) - There are a lot of things that may prevent you from smiling. Maybe you've had a bad day at work-or you're just not in the best of moods. However, some people will refuse to smile in public regardless of their emotional state, simply because they feel uncomfortable about the way that their teeth look.
A Fantastic Doctor
There are a number of procedures that are performed by Dr. Majid Jamali at his clinic in New York, all related to oral and facial surgeries. To excel in this field Dr. Jamali has a number of qualifications and board certifications in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Apart from this, he has gained experience and qualifications in general surgery and anesthesiology. This makes him unique in this field as he can treat patients appropriately while considering and predicting the treatment outcome across various fields.
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgeries can be related to a number of cosmetic procedures to improve on the cosmetic aesthetics of the oral cavity. Some of the cosmetic procedures that are offered by Dr. Jamali at his clinic are:
Although, dental implants can also be applied for both cosmetic and corrective surgery. Aesthetic surgery requires prior consultation to understand the aspirations of the patient. These aspirations need to be met with the surgeon's input regarding realistic outcomes and possibilities. The concerns and risks involved also need to be addressed appropriately during the consultation.
Dental implants are artificial teeth that are surgically sealed into the jaw bone in place of a real tooth. The original tooth could have been cavity ridden, broken or misaligned.
Corrective Surgery
This brings the attention to the second category of services provided by the clinic; corrective surgery:
Cleft lip and palate surgery
These procedures are essential to the proper functioning of the oral cavity. Wisdom teeth could potentially prove to be extremely irritating and even damaging to the patient. They grow out the back of the jaw bone and force their way through, pushing healthy molars causing pain and discomfort. If left untreated, they could result in gum and teeth infections.
Similarly, oral pathology is related to a number of infections of the oral cavity. They require lab based testing for identification and prescription medication or surgical procedures to control the infection. Cleft lip and palate are birth defects in which a slit of a gap remains in the front of the mouth. This is a serious defect that requires surgical correction.
This brings the third type of service provided by the clinic; reconstructive maxillofacial surgery:
ü Facial trauma
These types of procedures are carried out to repair damage caused to the maxillofacial structures. These include bone damage in the face and jaw region. Injuries caused by impact would cause damage to the bones and would require careful and meticulously planned surgery or a series of surgeries. Common injuries include fractured jaw bones, cheek bones, and eye sockets. Also some of the most common maxillofacial injuries result in broken or knocked out teeth.
Soft tissues are repaired by surgical sutures however, the bones need to be held in place with metal fixings.
Procedure of treatment
As is obvious from the wide nature of treatments offered by the clinic, the consultation with Dr. Jamali would differ from case to case. In most instances for cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, a computer image is used to aid with the explanation of various procedures. For trauma reconstructive surgeries the damage repair take priority to aesthetics which can be discussed at a later stage of treatment.
