Center for Interdisciplinary Craniofacial Surgery
Department of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial and Oral Surgery
We specialize in the complex structures of the face, oral cavity, teeth and jaws. Their preservation and restoration are the primary goal of our field. This includes the detection, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of diseases, injuries, fractures, malformations and deformities. This is not just about functional aspects (chewing, speaking, swallowing, breathing), but also about appearance and personal charisma.
