Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are specialists in the management of patients with facial trauma. The long term consequences of poor management can include facial deformity, visual disturbances, obstructed breathing and difficulty eating. It is important that facial injuries are assessed in a timely manner to ensure appropriate management. Injuries to the face can include: Fractured Forehead (or frontal sinus fracture) Fractured Eye socket (or orbital fracture) Fractured Nose (or nasal bone fracture) Fractured Cheek bone (or zygomatic fracture) Fractured Upper jaw (or maxillary fracture) Fractured Lower jaw (or mandible fracture including condylar fractures) Fractured Teeth and supporting bone (or dentoalveolar fracture) Fractures in multiple areas of the face (or Panfacial fractures) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1606794254793-HB4OWVCTM3TICO66XIVC/shutterstock_facial+trauma2.jpg Facial Trauma - Not all patients with broken facial bones require surgery. Depending on the clinical situation surgery may be unnecessary when a fracture has occurred without any significant movement in bone position. For other injuries it may even be necessary to review a patient when swelling has resolved to determine if surgery is necessary. This may take up to 10 days to occur. Despite not requiring surgery it will still be necessary to protect the area of injury over the healing period to prevent deterioration. Modern approaches to access the bone are hidden and endoscopic (key hole) techniques are employed where-ever possible. Wiring of the jaws is rarely required with contemporary treatment and instead the fractured bones are held in the reconstructed position with the use of miniplates and screws. Modern technology is used to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients. This includes the use of 3D printed plates and intra-operative imaging. Dr Stanton provides treatment for patients with facial trauma in private hospital under general anaesthesia. https://www.omfclinic.com.au/dental-implants daily 0.75 2022-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1607910030640-INAJ2XZYD6OS2Q9B2WIO/shutterstock_545431282.jpg Dental Implants - Dental implants are the gold standard replacement for a tooth which is missing. The implant is a titanium screw which is surgically placed into the jaw and acts as the foundation for an artificial tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple missing teeth and even an entire jaw of missing teeth. If there has been a long time period between tooth removal and implant placement there may be insufficient bone available for a dental implant. In these circumstances bone grafting procedures may then be required at the time of, or prior to, placing an implant. Hence, it is important to consider the timing of implant treatment whenever a tooth is removed. The time needed to recover from surgery after placement of a single dental implant is minimal. The majority of patients report functioning as usual one to two days after implant placement. Patients having multiple implants placed or undergoing extensive grafting procedures need to allow longer recovery periods. Patients are often referred to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon by a General Dentist or Specialist Prosthodontist for dental implant surgery. Your surgeon will place the implant which is the foundation for the tooth and your dentist or specialist will add the tooth to the top of the implant when ready. Both your surgeon and dentist will work together to create an optical outcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1606732372211-UFCYY66S6HWJGC4Y13NR/shutterstock_implant2.jpg Dental Implants - Why get dental implants? Dental implants are able to restore function and natural aesthetics. They are more comfortable than alternatives like dentures and are less destructive to your surrounding teeth than a bridge. Replacing missing teeth can improve your smile and self confidence. Missing teeth make it difficult to enjoy certain foods, even using a denture will not allow you to eat all types of foods. With dental implant treatment you will have greater choice of foods to eat and this will allow a healthy and balanced diet. Dental implants also maintain jaw bone and support facial structure. After teeth are removed there is a tendency for the jaw bone to shrink. This will change the shape of the face with the collapse of soft tissues leading to a sunken facial appearance. Not only will lost teeth lead to unsightly gaps but there is also a tendency for the surrounding teeth to drift into the gap of a missing tooth. This can lead to further dental problems with spaces forming between other teeth. This can lead to food trapping and an increase in decay and gum disease. https://www.omfclinic.com.au/new-page daily 0.75 2020-04-06 https://www.omfclinic.com.au/about-2 daily 0.75 2020-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1584167434930-37FTZYLQMPI45SSKMZ72/image-asset.jpeg About Dr Norman Stanton - Dentistry & Medicine Dr. Norman Stanton is an Australian trained Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.

Bone grafting may also be used to restore bone that has been lost following trauma, tumour surgery and even congenital deformities such as cleft lip and palate. Traditionally bone grafting required bone to be harvest from other regions of a patients body however advances in medical technology allow the use of purpose made bone graft materials. The graft is placed immediately adjacent to the existing bone and left over several months to integrate. When bone grafting is performed for dental implants, the bone graft may be placed at the same time as a dental implant, or the procedure may need to be staged. This will depend on the clinical situation. Sinus Lift This is a special form of bone graft for the posterior portion of the upper jaw where the premolar and molar teeth are usually situated. A sinus lift is done when there is not enough bone in this region. The reasons for this can include patient’s with large, pneumatised sinuses or collapse of the available bone following the prior removal of teeth. In this procedure the sinus lining is lifted upward to create room for a bone graft to be added above existing bone. https://www.omfclinic.com.au/wisdom-teeth daily 0.75 2022-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1607504208381-R71R7WZBHZJAODAAZDPC/shutterstock_wisdomteeth+ressorption.jpg Wisdom Teeth RESORPTION CAVITY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1607504208384-VWH2TD6RPEM704BK9IIV/shutterstock_wisdomteeth+pericoronitis.jpg Wisdom Teeth INFECTION https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1607504204497-VKBDOPFK8N93GAJB2LIT/shutterstock_wisdom+teeth+cyst.jpg Wisdom Teeth CYST FORMATION https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1606720871220-6E0Z7ZVTILZ0MJK8LX68/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-11-28%2Bat%2B3.30.17%2Bpm.jpg Wisdom Teeth - Wisdom teeth, otherwise known as third molars, are the last teeth to form in a person’s mouth. As humans have evolved the size of their jaws have decreased. Consequently, wisdom teeth often do not have sufficient room to erupt and become trapped in an incorrect position. This is otherwise described as the tooth being impacted. Poorly positioned wisdom teeth can lead to a range of different oral health problems. This includes recurrent infections, decay and damage to neighbouring teeth or gums. Occasionally cysts or tumours can form around wisdom teeth leading to damage or fractures of the jaws. An Orthodontist may also recommend removal of your wisdom tooth prior to or at the completion of Orthodontic treatment. https://www.omfclinic.com.au/corrective-jaw-surgery daily 0.75 2022-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1606823098484-Q3VR78W9096M3UN86M5D/Screen+Shot+2020-12-01+at+8.00.52+pm.png Corrective Jaw Surgery - An irregular jaw position can impact a person’s ability to perform fundamental actions such as eating, speaking and breathing, as well as their facial appearance. An irregular bite may also lead destructive wear of teeth and gums. Corrective jaw surgery (otherwise known as Orthognathic surgery) can be performed to improve the position of the jaws. This leads to improvements in function and in facial appearance. Opting for this sort of surgery could be for medical, functional or personal reasons. Common facial features associated with an irregular jaw position include A “weak” lower jaw or chin A prominent lower jaw or chin A “gummy smile” (showing too much teeth and gums) An “edentulous look” (not showing enough teeth) An anterior open bite (front teeth not touching when back teeth are fully closed) Inability to fully close lips together without straining (also known as lip incompetence) Asymmetry of the face https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1606802952164-642IFE7X2PATE8SY0E0C/image.jpg Corrective Jaw Surgery - Corrective jaw surgery is performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners) to optimally correct the bite and achieve good facial balance. As such your Orthodontist and Surgeon will act as a team to get the best possible result for you. Traditionally surgery is performed after an initial phase of orthodontics. However, in some cases surgery can be performed immediately prior to commencing orthodontic treatment. https://www.omfclinic.com.au/oral-and-maxillofacial-pathology daily 0.75 2022-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1607505073909-US0QPEYKKN4J7LQUTAC5/website%2Bimage%2Bpathology.jpg Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology - Oral and maxillofacial pathology covers a broad range of abnormalities involving structures of the mouth, jaws and face. These lesions may arise in the bone, oral mucosa (lining of the mouth) or salivary glands. Lesions may include cysts, inflammatory lesions and tumours. A biopsy may be necessary to determine the nature of the lesion. This involves the removal of a small piece of the lesion by a Surgeon. The tissue sample is sent to a Pathologist for analysis which will help determine the underlying cause of the lesion. Further investigations, such as specialised imaging, may be required before a definitive plan on the management can be made. https://www.omfclinic.com.au/dentoalveolar daily 0.75 2022-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1607914264941-HQ7N65IAVO22EJ3J5WCH/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-11-30%2Bat%2B5.53.22%2Bpm.jpg Dentoalveolar Surgery - Surgical removal of teeth Removal of many teeth may be straightforward and carried out by your dentist. In some instances your Dentist may refer you to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon to have teeth removed. The reasons for referral may include Complex medical problems such as bleeding disorders Teeth that are close to important structures such as the sinus or nerves Teeth which are expected to be difficult to remove such as broken down, heavily filled teeth or teeth that have complex root shapes An anxious patient who prefers to be sedated or anaesthetised for their procedure https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1606720025624-DCV95O6RJPAQ7HQGHQ6M/Screen+Shot+2020-11-30+at+6.05.54+pm.png Dentoalveolar Surgery - Exposure of teeth Some adult teeth fail to erupt on their own and will remained buried in the jaw. This may happen due to the premature loss of deciduous teeth (commonly referred to as baby teeth) or dental crowding. Sometimes it may happen for no apparent reason. An absent tooth can be noticeable in your smile and can lead to major problems with your bite. Cysts may even arise around a tooth which fails to erupt. In these cases a tooth may need to be exposed surgically by creating a pathway through the gum for the tooth to erupt through. Often an orthodontic appliance is attached to the tooth to allow it to move into the correct position. We will work together with your Orthodontist to plan your exposure procedure. https://www.omfclinic.com.au/corrective-jaw-surgery-aftercare daily 0.75 2020-04-06 https://www.omfclinic.com.au/wisdom-teeth-aftercare daily 0.75 2022-02-10 https://www.omfclinic.com.au/tmj-dysfunction daily 0.75 2022-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e15280348837331af441e45/1606794619974-XM2Q6XC3SBMD32GIBYD3/shutterstock_TMJ.jpg TMJ Dysfunction The jaw joints are medically known as the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Many people will experience some form of symptoms from their TMJ throughout their lifetime, fortunately only a small percentage will go on to require surgery. Symptoms may present as joint and facial pain, limitation of mouth opening and clicking or grinding noises from the joint. Occasionally symptoms can include ear pain (otalgia) and ringing (tinnitus). Treatment may range from medical management to complex surgery. The vast majority of patients will respond to medical management. Depending on the diagnosis, this treatment may include short-term anti-inflammatory drugs for pain, muscle relaxants, comprehensive physiotherapy, short term diet modification and education to manage the symptoms. Often an occlusal splint (also known as a bite guard) will be beneficial. When medical management is ineffective, or if there is advanced degeneration of the joint, surgery may be indicated. https://www.omfclinic.com.au/online-referral daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://www.omfclinic.com.au/dental-implant-aftercare daily 0.75 2022-02-03 https://www.omfclinic.com.au/patientinfoform daily 0.75 2022-03-27
