The Functional Benefits of Maxillofacial Surgery at nuFace
Maxillofacial surgery often focuses on aesthetics, but its benefits reach far beyond appearance.
At nuFace Maxillofacial & Dental Hospital, led by Dr. Nehal Patel, our goal is to restore both function and appearance.
From complex jaw surgeries to TMJ treatments, we aim to improve patients’ quality of life.
This blog explores how these treatments can positively impact daily activities like speaking, eating, and breathing.
The Functional Impact of Maxillofacial Surgery
Enhancing Jaw Function with Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery addresses severe jaw misalignments that braces alone can’t fix.
Dr. Nehal Patel’s expertise in Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) ensures precise treatment, helping patients improve chewing, speech, and breathing.
This surgery not only corrects jaw alignment but also significantly improves oral function, leading to better overall health.
Benefits include:
- Improved Chewing and Digestion:
Aligning the jaw properly aids in more effective chewing and digestion. - Clearer Speech
Proper alignment can also resolve speech issues caused by misaligned jaws. - Enhanced Breathing
By correcting structural problems, patients may experience relief from conditions like sleep apnea.
Restoring Joint Function with TMJ Arthroscopy
TMJ disorders can lead to severe pain and difficulty in moving the jaw.
Dr. Nehal Patel uses minimally invasive TMJ arthroscopy to treat these issues and restore normal joint function.
This technique reduces inflammation and alleviates chronic pain, allowing patients to regain their ability to chew and speak without discomfort.
Key functional improvements include:
- Pain Relief:
Patients experience an immediate reduction in jaw pain post-procedure. - Improved Mobility:
Restored jaw movement helps patients return to normal activities.
Total TMJ Replacement for Severe Cases
In more severe cases, total TMJ replacement may be the best solution.
Dr. Nehal Patel is among the few specialists in India performing this complex surgery, offering patients long-term relief from severe joint dysfunction.
Patients who undergo this procedure regain the ability to eat and speak comfortably, which drastically improves their quality of life.
Comprehensive Facial Reconstruction
Facial reconstruction at nuFace involves treating trauma, congenital defects, and previous surgeries that affect both function and appearance.
Dr. Nehal Patel uses advanced surgical techniques to ensure that patients regain symmetry, function, and confidence.
Benefits include:
- Restored Symmetry
Correcting deformities enhances facial aesthetics and functionality. - Improved Sensory Function
Addressing nerve damage or other impairments can help restore normal sensory experiences. - Enhanced Confidence
By fixing both functional and aesthetic concerns, patients report higher self-esteem and psychological well-being.
