The maxillofacial team at University Hospitals has improved the lives of many suffering from severely disfiguring and damaging diseases. Having diseases which affect these parts of your body - ones so obvious to others - can be physically and emotionally damaging.
University Hospitals has a dedicated multi-disciplinary team to ensure our patients receive the best care possible in this area. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons frequently work alongside other specialists including orthodontists, oncologists, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, and ear, nose and throat surgeons, to achieve the maximum health benefit for our patients.
Maxillofacial surgery is a specialised department, with dedicated clinical and operating space. The department holds weekly consultations/treatment clinics, and there are joint clinics with orthodontics every month.
A wide range of services are offered within the outpatient clinic, including minor surgical procedures, appliances and numerous investigations. We also have the facility of dedicated acute beds on a ward at the Royal Stoke University Hospital for those patients who need to be admitted. The department provides a service for both adults and children.
When patients are referred, the appointment will be made for an initial consultation. Radiographs and other investigations maybe requested at this stage.
