What is oral and maxillofacial surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the medical and surgical specialty that diagnoses, prevents and treats diseases, trauma and both functional and aesthetic abnormalities of the oral cavity, upper jaw, lower jaw, face and neck.
At Clínica CIRO, we integrate this discipline into a multidisciplinary dental approach: no surgical case is assessed in isolation. Instead, treatment is always coordinated with orthodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics and implant dentistry to achieve the best possible functional and aesthetic outcome.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery treatments and procedures at CIRO
At Clínica CIRO Madrid, we provide the full spectrum of oral and maxillofacial surgery, from routine procedures performed under local anaesthesia to complex interventions requiring a hospital setting. These are the treatments we perform most frequently:
1
Wisdom tooth extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction is indicated when there is not enough space for the wisdom teeth and they remain impacted or unerupted, which can lead to infections, cysts or dental crowding. At CIRO, every case is planned using a 3D CT scan and treated with a minimally invasive technique, under local anaesthesia and conscious sedation if preferred.
2
Impacted canines and unerupted teeth
Up to 3% of the population has canines that fail to erupt at the expected age. We assess each case individually: combined orthodontic-surgical traction (the most common approach in young patients), extraction when the position is unfavourable, or monitoring in asymptomatic adults.
3
Orthognathic surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects skeletal discrepancies of the jaws — prognathism, retrognathia, open bite or facial asymmetries — that orthodontics alone cannot resolve. Treatment is virtually planned in 3D and coordinated with the orthodontist to predict the functional and aesthetic outcome before surgery.
4
Minor oral surgery and pathology
Frenectomies (including ankyloglossia in babies), removal of jaw cysts with histopathological examination, microscopic apicoectomies, and biopsy of any suspicious oral mucosal lesion.
5
Early diagnosis of oral cancer
Five-year survival exceeds 80% when diagnosed at an early stage. Any lesion that does not heal within 15 days or any persistent white or red patch should be assessed. We perform a systematic examination and biopsy and refer patients to an oncology committee when appropriate.
6
Facial trauma
Specialised care for dentoalveolar fractures, mandibular fractures, midface fractures, TMJ dislocations and dental avulsions. Dr. Giner is the author of scientific publications in this field.

Frequently asked questions about oral and maxillofacial surgery
What is the difference between an oral surgeon and a maxillofacial surgeon?
A maxillofacial surgeon is a medical doctor (with a Degree in Medicine) who has completed five years of specialist MIR training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, qualifying them to treat any condition affecting the face, mouth and neck, including major hospital and oncological surgery. An oral surgeon is usually a dentist with postgraduate training in dentoalveolar surgery. At CIRO, Dr. Giner holds both qualifications, enabling him to offer the full spectrum of surgical care with the highest level of clinical expertise.
Does wisdom tooth surgery hurt?
You will not feel pain during the procedure, as it is performed under local anaesthesia and, if you prefer, conscious sedation. After surgery, moderate discomfort and swelling are normal and can be effectively controlled with the prescribed pain relief and anti-inflammatory medication. Applying a cold compress during the first 24–48 hours and getting relative rest help speed up recovery.
How long does recovery take after oral surgery?
For a simple extraction, 24–72 hours. For an impacted wisdom tooth, around 5 to 7 days of gradually decreasing discomfort. After orthognathic surgery, initial functional recovery takes around 2–3 weeks, with a gradual return to social and work activities, while complete healing takes approximately 4–6 months.
Is a CT scan necessary before surgery?
For most wisdom tooth surgeries, impacted teeth, dental implants and cystic pathology, yes. A 3D Cone Beam CT scan allows us to assess the relationship with the inferior alveolar nerve, maxillary sinus and neighbouring roots, dramatically reducing the risk of complications. At CIRO, CT scans are performed at the clinic using low-radiation equipment.
Can I have sedation if I am afraid of the dentist?
Yes. Intravenous or inhalation conscious sedation is particularly recommended for patients with dental anxiety or phobia. It allows the procedure to be carried out while the patient remains awake but relaxed, without unpleasant memories of the treatment. At CIRO, we have our own team of anaesthesiologists and continuously monitor vital signs.
When should orthognathic surgery be considered instead of orthodontics alone?
When the malocclusion has a skeletal component rather than being purely dental: a significantly protruding or retruded jaw, facial asymmetry, severe open bite, pronounced gummy smile, or functional problems such as sleep apnoea associated with retrognathia. Orthodontics alone may camouflage the dental problem, but it cannot correct the underlying bone structure. The appropriate treatment is determined following a cephalometric study and 3D planning.
