Frequently asked questions about oral and maxillofacial surgery in Valencia
What is the difference between a dentist and a maxillofacial surgeon?
The maxillofacial surgeon specialises in complex interventions that affect not only teeth but also facial bones, the jaw and adjacent structures. They treat cases that go beyond general dentistry, such as facial trauma, orthognathic surgery or advanced implantology in complex cases.
Can I have surgery if I have little bone in the jaw?
Yes. We are specialists in cases with severe bone atrophy. We have techniques such as zygomatic implants in Valencia that avoid the need for bone grafts in most cases, as well as other implants without bone in Valencia solutions for patients rejected by other clinics.
Is oral and maxillofacial surgery painful?
Procedures are performed under local anaesthesia or conscious sedation and are practically painless during the treatment. Post-operative discomfort varies according to the complexity of the case but is generally manageable with common painkillers.
How much does oral and maxillofacial surgery cost in Valencia?
The price varies depending on the type of intervention and the complexity of the case. We offer a free first consultation with diagnosis, 3D scan and a personalised treatment plan with no obligation. See our dental implant prices in Valencia page for more information.
Thanks to immediate loading in Valencia, in most cases the patient leaves with fixed teeth on the same day as the surgical intervention. If you want to know all the advanced implantology options we offer, visit our dental implants in Valencia page.
