Maxillofacial Surgery
Jaw Surgery in Turkey
Surgical treatment of the jaw to restore function, correct trauma or address structural conditions — led by a maxillofacial surgeon.
When the Jaw Itself Needs Treatment
Jaw surgery covers a range of procedures addressing trauma, structural abnormalities, tumors, cysts, or joint conditions affecting the jaw — distinct from the tooth-and-implant-focused surgeries most patients associate with a dental clinic. These cases need a genuine maxillofacial surgeon, not a general dentist.
Prof. Dr. Celal Şahin, our Maxillofacial Surgeon, evaluates each case individually with full CT imaging before recommending a surgical plan, coordinating with the rest of the team when restorative or implant work follows.

Jaw Surgery — Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does jaw surgery treat?
It covers trauma, jaw joint conditions, cysts, structural abnormalities and other issues requiring a specialist maxillofacial surgeon rather than a general dentist.
Will I need a CT scan first?
Yes — every jaw surgery case starts with full diagnostic imaging so Prof. Dr. Celal Şahin can plan the exact procedure your condition requires.
How much does jaw surgery cost in Turkey?
Cost depends entirely on the complexity of the case — send your details for a personalised, free assessment and quote.
Can jaw surgery be combined with dental implants?
Yes, where relevant — Prof. Dr. Celal Şahin coordinates with the implant and restorative team so surgical and dental treatment are planned together.
What is the difference between jaw surgery and orthognathic surgery?
Orthognathic surgery is one specific type of jaw surgery — repositioning the jaws to correct the bite. "Jaw surgery" is the broader term, also covering trauma repair, cyst or tumor removal, and jaw joint procedures. Your diagnosis determines which applies.
Is jaw surgery done under general anaesthesia?
Major procedures such as jaw repositioning are done under general anaesthesia in a hospital setting. Smaller procedures may only need local anaesthesia with sedation. The anaesthesia plan is decided case by case after your imaging.
How do I know if I need a maxillofacial surgeon rather than a dentist?
If the problem involves the jawbone, jaw joint, facial trauma or structures beyond the teeth themselves, it requires a maxillofacial surgeon. Send your imaging and symptoms and Prof. Dr. Celal Şahin will tell you directly which specialist your case needs — free of charge.
