What is oral surgery?
It is the part of dentistry that solves problems of the teeth and mouth with surgery: difficult extractions, wisdom teeth, implant placement or minor procedures on the gums and bone.
Most of these procedures are done at the clinic, under local anaesthetic, in a single session and without a hospital stay.
What is maxillofacial surgery?
It is the specialty that treats problems of the jaws, face and neck. In dentistry it mainly deals with:
- Correcting the position of the jaws with orthognathic surgery.
- Bite problems that orthodontics alone cannot solve.
- Facial asymmetries related to the jaws.
- Complex surgery that needs a hospital setting.

Recovery
We give you written instructions and the necessary medication, and carry out a check-up, usually after a week, to remove the stitches and check healing.
Aftercare following oral surgery
General recommendations for the first few days:
- Bite on the gauze we give you for the time indicated.
- Apply cold to the outside of your face for the first few hours.
- Eat soft, lukewarm food and don't chew on the treated area.
- Don't rinse hard or spit on the first day.
- Avoid tobacco and alcohol while it heals.
- Take the prescribed medication and call us if bleeding does not stop, or if there is severe pain or fever.
Nervous about surgery?
That is completely normal. That is why, at Udemax Miramar, we can carry out surgery with conscious sedation: an anaesthetist gives you a sedative so you are calm and relaxed throughout the procedure, with no pain thanks to the local anaesthetic.

Frequently asked questions about oral and maxillofacial surgery
What is the difference between oral and maxillofacial surgery?
Oral surgery focuses on the teeth and mouth: wisdom teeth, extractions or implants. Maxillofacial surgery also covers the jaws and face, such as orthognathic surgery.
What does a maxillofacial surgeon do?
They diagnose and surgically treat problems of the jaws, face and neck. In dentistry, they mainly correct the position of the jaws and carry out the most complex oral surgery.
Does oral surgery hurt?
Not during the procedure, as it is done under local anaesthetic. Afterwards there may be some discomfort and swelling for a few days, which is managed with the medication we prescribe.
Can it be done under sedation?
Yes. At Udemax Miramar we can carry out surgery with conscious sedation, given by an anaesthetist.
How long is the recovery?
It depends on the surgery. After an extraction or wisdom tooth removal, most people are back to normal within a few days. Orthognathic surgery takes several weeks.
When should you see a maxillofacial surgeon?
If you have a wisdom tooth causing problems, a tooth that is difficult to extract, or if your orthodontist tells you that your bite needs surgery.
How much does oral surgery cost in Palma?
It depends on the type of surgery. At your free first visit we give you a detailed quote, and you can finance your treatment.
