Jaw Surgery at King’s College Hospital London in Dubai

At King’s College Hospital Dubai, our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery team offers advanced care for Jaw Surgery, including Jaw Fracture and Jaw Fracture Surgery, with a focus on safe planning, precise techniques, and natural-looking results.
What does jaw surgery do?
Jaw Surgery is a surgical procedure that repositions, repairs, or reconstructs the jawbones and surrounding structures to improve how your teeth meet, how your jaw moves, and how your face looks and functions. Depending on your diagnosis, jaw surgery may be used to:
- Treat Jaw Fracture and stabilize broken jawbones after trauma
- Correct bite problems and jaw misalignment (orthognathic surgery)
- Rebuild areas affected by oral cancer or other head and neck conditions
- Improve facial symmetry and balance
- Relieve symptoms linked to Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ disorders) when appropriate
- Support facial reconstruction after complex injuries or previous surgery
Because the jaw is closely connected to breathing, chewing, speaking, and facial aesthetics, the goal is always both function and appearance.
When should you see us for jaw surgery?
You should consider seeing an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon if you have:
- A suspected Jaw Fracture after an accident, sports injury, or fall
- Facial swelling, bruising, numbness, or difficulty opening your mouth after trauma
- A bite that suddenly feels “off” after an injury
- Ongoing jaw pain, clicking, locking, or headaches linked to TMJ disorders
- Difficulty chewing, speech changes, or facial asymmetry
- A significantly recessed or prominent jaw affecting bite and confidence
- Jaw-related concerns after oral cancer treatment or reconstruction
If you think you may have a Jaw Fracture, urgent assessment is important. Early treatment can reduce complications and improve healing.

How does Jaw Fracture Surgery work?
Step 1: Assessment and imaging — We assess your jaw, your bite, and how well you can move your mouth. Scans are used to confirm the fracture and its position.
Step 2: Treatment planning — Based on the findings, we decide whether the fracture can heal without surgery or whether an operation is needed to stabilize the jaw.
Step 3: Repair and stabilization — If surgery is needed, the jaw is put back into position and secured to allow proper healing and restore bite alignment.
Step 4: Recovery and rehabilitation — After treatment, you’ll be advised on diet, oral care, and pain control. Follow-up visits are used to monitor healing. If jaw movement is limited, rehabilitation may be advised.
