Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Services
Trusted processes for elective recovery across the NHS
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Services
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is a highly specialised field that combines surgical and dental expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. It covers a wide spectrum of procedures, from trauma reconstruction and cancer resection to management of complex benign conditions such as impacted teeth, cysts, and facial deformities.
NHS Trusts face considerable demand in OMFS due to high volumes of outpatient referrals, cancer pathways, and urgent trauma cases. Backlogs in this specialty not only delay routine dental and oral surgical care but can also impact time-critical cancer and trauma pathways. Timely access is essential to protect function, appearance, and quality of life for patients.
At NCI, we recognise that OMFS requires consultant-led teams with dual medical and dental qualifications, supported by specialist nurses, anaesthetists, and theatre staff, working in close collaboration with oncology, radiology, and dental colleagues.
