Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Spain
A specialised unit in oral and maxillofacial surgery, offering advanced structural planning, a functional approach, and personalised assessment
Face Clinic’s Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit is one of the group’s main specialist areas and is led by Dr Francisco Riba García, founder and Medical Director of Face Clinic. He heads a specialised team focused on the diagnosis and treatment of structural conditions affecting the face, jaws and mandible.
Do you have a dentofacial deformity, facial asymmetry, severe bone loss, or a case that has previously been ruled out?
Maxillofacial surgery at Face Clinic is based on precise structural assessment, individualised planning, and technology tailored to each case, with particular attention to function, stability, and facial anatomy.
The unit is focused on the treatment of facial and jaw abnormalities, advanced oral surgery, reconstruction, and complex cases requiring a more comprehensive assessment and an individualised surgical approach.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit at Face Clinic Spain
Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires a comprehensive assessment of the craniofacial, maxillary and mandibular complex. At Face Clinic, we approach each case from a structural, functional and anatomical perspective, with the aim of recommending the most appropriate treatment according to the condition involved, long-term stability, and the patient’s actual needs.
Our unit combines surgical expertise, digital planning and three-dimensional analysis to manage both conventional oral and maxillofacial surgery cases and situations involving a high degree of anatomical or reconstructive complexity.
Under the direction of Dr Francisco Riba García, the unit works with an approach focused on diagnostic precision, individualised treatment planning, and the achievement of stable, predictable and functional outcomes.
Clinical approach of the unit
At Face Clinic, the assessment of each maxillofacial surgery case may include:
- Three-dimensional anatomical study of the craniofacial complex.
- Functional evaluation of the bite and the maxillomandibular relationship.
- Analysis of facial proportions, symmetry and structure.
- Personalised digital surgical planning.
- Coordination with other medical and surgical units when required by the case.
Each patient is assessed from the perspective of structural stability and functional balance, with the aim of achieving predictable, long-lasting results consistent with the underlying anatomy.
Experience in structural facial surgery makes it possible to assess not only the visible problem, but also its deeper anatomical origin and the most appropriate therapeutic strategy to address it.
What conditions do we treat in the Maxillofacial Surgery Unit?
At Face Clinic’s Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit, we treat structural conditions that may affect function, bone stability and facial harmony, including:
- Dentofacial deformities
- Maxillary and mandibular asymmetries
- Structural growth abnormalities
- Severe bone atrophy
- Complex oral pathology
- Facial post-traumatic sequelae
- Cases requiring advanced structural reconstruction
Maxillofacial surgery with advanced planning
Each case is assessed from the perspective of facial structure, function and long-term stability, rather than solely from the symptom or visible abnormality.
- Three-dimensional anatomical analysis
- Precise structural diagnosis
- Digital surgical planning
- Management of complex cases
The difference lies in assessing the case as a whole in order to design a more precise, stable and personalised surgical strategy.
Clinical process in maxillofacial surgery
Following the maxillofacial assessment, we establish an individualised diagnostic work-up tailored to each patient’s craniofacial anatomy, function, structural stability and specific needs.
- Individualised diagnosis and treatment planning: We assess the bony structures, the maxillomandibular relationship, the bite, facial symmetry and the anatomical complexity of the case in order to define the indication, the surgical strategy and the different phases of treatment. When required, we incorporate digital planning and coordination with other specialties.
- Surgical planning in a specialised medical setting: Each procedure is planned according to precise medical criteria, with detailed anatomical assessment and protocols tailored to the type of intervention, particularly in cases requiring advanced structural surgery or reconstruction.
- Treatment and post-operative monitoring: Following treatment, we carry out clinical follow-up to assess progress, stability, functional response and the patient’s recovery, adjusting the monitoring protocol according to the characteristics of each case.
- Follow-up and long-term review: In procedures that require it, we establish a review plan aimed at monitoring structural and functional progress over the medium and long term.
Our approach to maxillofacial surgery prioritises precise diagnosis, individualised structural planning, and the pursuit of stable, functional results tailored to each patient’s anatomy.
Main maxillofacial surgery treatments at Face Clinic
Face Clinic’s Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit provides a range of procedures aimed at correcting structural, functional and anatomical conditions affecting the craniofacial complex. The main maxillofacial surgery treatments offered by the unit include the following:
Custom-designed facial implants to enhance projection, symmetry and facial definition through highly personalised surgical planning.
Surgical correction of maxillary and mandibular discrepancies to improve function, occlusion and overall facial harmony.
An advanced treatment option for severe upper jaw bone loss and complex implant rehabilitation cases.
Surgical and bone preparation of the jaws to support more stable, precise and predictable oral rehabilitation.
Reconstructive procedures for bone defects, facial trauma sequelae and complex structural craniofacial conditions.
Complex oral surgical procedures requiring specialist expertise, detailed assessment and precise treatment planning.
Expert review of complex cases, previously rejected treatments, unsuccessful prior surgery or high-complexity surgical decisions.
Each of these treatments is assessed from a structural and functional perspective, with three-dimensional planning, a personalised surgical indication, and individualised evaluation according to the anatomical complexity of each patient.
Related treatments for rehabilitation and complex cases
In addition to the main maxillofacial surgery treatments, at Face Clinic we also provide other procedures closely related to reconstruction, bone loss and complex oral rehabilitation, including:
- Dental implants for patients with limited bone volume
- Full-mouth rehabilitation
- All-on-4 and All-on-6
- Complex oral pathology
- Bruxism and functional disorders
Specialists in complex maxillofacial surgery cases
The unit is particularly focused on the management of complex maxillofacial surgery cases requiring more advanced assessment, individualised three-dimensional planning, and specific surgical expertise.
We treat patients with severe bone loss, complex facial deformities, post-traumatic sequelae, previous implant failures or unsuccessful jaw surgery, highly complex revision procedures, and anatomical situations that require a personalised reconstructive strategy.
Under the direction of Dr Francisco Riba García, the unit provides highly specialised assessment for patients seeking a more robust, more precise and better planned surgical alternative.
Many patients come to Face Clinic to obtain a second maxillofacial opinion or to explore surgical options in cases that were previously ruled out or unsuccessfully treated at other centres.
Advanced technology and treatment planning
Modern maxillofacial surgery requires a high level of diagnostic precision. For this reason, the unit incorporates advanced technology to enhance planning and surgical predictability, including:
- 3D CT scanning
- Virtual surgical planning
- Design of personalised 3D implants
- Pre-surgical three-dimensional models
- Guided surgery protocols
Digital planning makes it possible to tailor each procedure to the patient’s specific anatomy, optimise procedural precision, and improve the predictability of the outcome, particularly in orthognathic surgery, maxillomandibular reconstruction, and structural facial implants.
International patients and online assessment
Many patients travel to Face Clinic from abroad in search of a more specialised assessment, a second opinion, or a better planned surgical solution for complex maxillofacial cases.
When appropriate, the process can begin with an online medical video consultation, making it possible to review the case in advance and organise the next steps before travelling to Spain.
You can read more in our section for international patients and find additional information about how Face Clinic supports patients coming from outside Spain.
Sedation, operating theatre facilities and hospital coordination
At Face Clinic, we have our own operating theatre for outpatient procedures and conscious sedation.
For more complex or major procedures, we work in collaboration with leading hospitals, such as Hospital Universitario La Moraleja in Madrid, where Dr Francisco Riba serves as Head of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department.
This allows us to adapt each procedure to the most appropriate clinical setting for both the patient and the treatment involved.
