Maxillofacial surgeon in Barcelona
Maxillofacial surgery deals with what lies beneath the tooth: the jaw, the maxillae, the face and the neck. That covers impacted wisdom teeth, cysts, joint problems and the surgery that comes before an implant when there is not enough bone. The assessment is free and the plan comes out of it in writing.
Maxillofacial surgery specialists
At Clínica Dental Barcelona the maxillofacial team works alongside the rest of the practice, so the plan comes out of a single assessment rather than two separate appointments. Our team is focused on providing customized surgical solutions that ensure the functional and aesthetic health of our patients.

What is maxillofacial surgery?
Maxillofacial surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, surgical treatment and management of various conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, face and neck. This discipline combines the knowledge of medicine and dentistry, which allows addressing both functional and aesthetic problems related to the bone structure and soft tissues of the facial region.
Maxillofacial surgeons are experts in correcting deformities, treating facial trauma, as well as performing reconstructive procedures that improve the quality of life of patients, whether for health or aesthetic appearance.
Problems Addressed by Maxillofacial Surgery:
Dentofacial deformities: Treatments to correct severe malocclusions and jaw misalignments through orthognathic surgery.
Facial trauma: Repair of facial bone fractures (mandible, cheekbones, orbits or maxilla) after accidents or injuries.
Tumors and cysts in the oral cavity: Detection and surgical treatment of benign or malignant tumors in the mouth, jaw and other facial areas.
Facial paralysis: Rehabilitation and reconstruction techniques to restore facial function and appearance in patients with paralysis.
Obstructive sleep apnea: Surgery to correct structural abnormalities that make it difficult to breathe during sleep.
Reconstructive surgery: Interventions to reconstruct facial anatomy after trauma, disease or previous surgery, such as tumor removal.
Dental implants: Placement of implants in patients with tooth loss, complemented with reconstructive surgery when necessary.

Personalized maxillofacial surgery treatments
At Barcelona Clinic in Barcelona, we offer personalized maxillofacial surgery treatments, designed to suit the individual needs of each patient. We understand that each case is unique, so we use the most advanced techniques and careful planning to ensure the best functional and aesthetic results.
Personalized Patient Assessment. Each treatment begins with a comprehensive patient assessment, which includes:
Detailed medical history: We analyze your medical history and any symptoms related to your facial or oral problem.
Advanced diagnostic tests: We use state-of-the-art imaging technology, such as 3D X-rays and CT scans, to understand the anatomical structure and accurately plan surgery.
Advanced Surgical Planning. Once the evaluation is done, we develop a personalized surgical plan that may include:
Minimally invasive surgery: In many cases, we can employ less invasive techniques that reduce recovery time and the risk of complications.
3D surgical simulation: Thanks to advanced digital technology, we can create simulations of surgical outcomes, which helps our patients visualize the outcome prior to surgery.
Coordination with other specialists: We work closely with dentists, orthodontists and other specialists to ensure a multidisciplinary approach when necessary.
Postoperative Care and Rehabilitation. The success of surgery does not end in the operating room. We offer a complete postoperative follow-up that includes:
Personalized attention during recovery: Our team is available to answer any questions you may have and to help you have a fast and safe recovery.
Rehabilitation: In cases of reconstructive surgery or facial paralysis, we offer customized rehabilitation techniques that restore function and aesthetic appearance of the treated area.
Continuous review: We perform periodic reviews to ensure that the patient’s evolution is adequate and that the surgical results are maintained in the long term.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a dentist and a maxillofacial surgeon?
A dentist treats the tooth and what surrounds it; a maxillofacial surgeon treats the bone, the joint and the tissues of the face and neck. Most cases are resolved in the dental practice, and the surgeon comes in when bone or a lesion has to be operated on.
Does the maxillofacial surgeon take out wisdom teeth?
It depends on the case. An erupted wisdom tooth is taken out by the dentist; one impacted in the bone, close to the nerve or lying against its neighbour, is surgery. The x-ray at the assessment is what decides.
Is it done under local anaesthetic?
Most of it is, and it is an outpatient procedure. When the case calls for it, sedation is considered, and that is discussed beforehand at the assessment along with the written plan.
