Jaw Reconstruction
A face is more than just a first impression. It is the foundation for how we breathe, speak, and nourish ourselves. At Aster Hospitals, we recognise that a misaligned or damaged jaw creates ripple effects throughout your daily life.
Our dedicated surgeons specialise in jaw reconstruction, a complex discipline that merges surgical precision with an eye for natural facial aesthetics. We don’t just move bone; we restore the confidence that comes with a functional, pain-free smile.
Jaw reconstruction surgery is often required when an injury or tumour has resulted in significant loss or damage to the maxilla or mandible. The goal is not simply to reshape the jaw, but to restore the continuity, stability and function of the facial skeleton while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Each case requires careful assessment of the damaged bone and surrounding structures. Our dental department houses the best maxillofacial surgeons in Dubai, who use detailed imaging and 3D surgical planning to understand the extent of bone loss and determine how the affected area can be reconstructed.
Jaw reconstruction can help restore both facial structure and everyday functions affected by injury, tumour removal or bone loss. Treatment may help with:
Our facility is a dental & maxillofacial hospital in Dubai, managing both routine procedures and emergency cases. In case of trauma, we provide immediate broken jaw surgery to stabilise the fracture and reduce further damage. Titanium plates are used to hold the bone in position while it heals. These remain under the tissue and are not visible from the outside.
For patients focused on the contours of their lower face, jaw reshaping surgery in Dubai offers a way to define the jawline and improve chewing mechanics. By adjusting the position of the bone, we reduce strain on your joints and prevent the premature wear and tear on your teeth that often accompanies a misaligned bite.
Jaw reconstruction requires careful planning and follow-up care. At Aster Hospitals, specialists assess the condition of the jaw, discuss suitable treatment options and monitor recovery after surgery. Patients can expect:
With specialist care, planned follow-up and appropriate recovery guidance, Aster Hospitals supports patients throughout their jaw reconstruction journey in Dubai.
Our facial reconstruction unit brings together surgeons who specialise in repairing the face after serious injury or trauma and tumour removal. Each of our oral and maxillofacial surgeons is trained in both medicine and dentistry, a dual background that allows them to manage complex jaw fractures, bone loss, and defects left behind by cancer surgery with a depth of expertise that general dental practitioners cannot offer.
This combined knowledge covers everything from the skeletal framework and surrounding nerves to the airway and facial appearance, so that function and form are restored together. Before any procedure, our surgeons sit down with you to review detailed 3D scans and surgical models, explain how they will rebuild damaged or removed structures, and give you a clear, honest picture of what to expect during recovery.
It is a specialised surgical process used to repair or rebuild the jawbones. This procedure corrects structural deformities, treats tumours, and fixes severe bite issues.
Anyone with a severe skeletal misalignment that affects chewing, breathing, or speech is a candidate. It is also necessary for patients who have suffered facial trauma.
Here at Aster, we treat conditions including facial fractures, congenital jaw defects, chronic TMJ disorders, and skeletal issues that contribute to sleep apnoea.
The surgeon makes small incisions inside the mouth to move the jaw into its new position. They then secure the bone with tiny plates and screws.
Most patients return to work or school within two weeks. However, the jawbone takes roughly three to six months to heal completely and strengthen.
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, so you feel nothing during the procedure. Afterwards, we use modern pain management to keep you comfortable during the initial healing.
There is no specific age limit. If your bones are healthy and you are fit for surgery, you can undergo reconstruction at any stage of adulthood.
