WHO ARE WE?

The Maxiloface Institute is composed of a team of specialists in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Stomatology, and Facial Esthetics. In this way, we can propose and plan the best surgical procedure for each patient. We have extensive experience in the surgical correction of facial abnormalities through Orthognathic Surgery, Mentoplasty, and facial aesthetic surgeries. Patients who suffer from sleep apnea and snoring can also benefit from corrective maxillary surgery. Many patients experience pain and clicking near the ears, which may be related to problems with the jaw joints, known as TMJs (Temporomandibular Joints). Here, we offer multidisciplinary care with specialized surgeons, dentists, and physiotherapists for efficient and comprehensive treatment. In Stomatology, we provide diagnosis and treatment for diseases that affect the mouth, face, and jaws. Facial aesthetics are taken very seriously at the Maxiloface Institute. We prioritize the well-being, safety, and individuality of each patient with a natural approach.

OUR SPECIALTIES

Permanent Facial Implants

Permanent facial implants, such as chin and jaw prostheses, offer a range of benefits both aesthetically and for self-esteem. These surgical procedures are designed to enhance facial harmony and correct structural imperfections, providing lasting and natural-looking results.

From an aesthetic standpoint, facial implants can enhance facial features, creating a more balanced and symmetrical facial proportion. A small chin or underdeveloped jaw can affect facial harmony, while well-positioned implants can improve facial profile definition and rejuvenate appearance.

By opting for permanent facial implants, patients can enjoy lasting improvement in their appearance and quality of life. However, it is crucial to consult with a highly specialized and qualified surgeon to assess the most suitable treatment options and ensure satisfactory and safe results.

Esthetic Benefits:

1. Facial Harmonization: Permanent facial implants offer unmatched facial harmony by reshaping the contours of the chin and jaw to achieve optimal facial proportions, eliminating the need for yearly touch-ups like hyaluronic acid.

2. Rejuvenation: As time passes, aging can lead to the loss of facial bone density, resulting in an aged appearance. Facial implants assist in replenishing facial volume and firmness, resulting in a revitalized appearance.

3. Correction of Asymmetries: Facial asymmetries and congenital or acquired deformities are rectified, promoting a more symmetrical facial appearance and enhancing the patient’s self-esteem.

At Maxiloface Institute, our highly skilled specialists combine advanced technical expertise with a patient-focused approach to ensure exceptional aesthetic outcomes and long-term benefits for oral health. We transform smiles, fostering enhanced self-assurance and quality of life for our patients with top-tier permanent facial implants. Visit us today and experience the transformative potential of a healthy and harmonious smile.

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Treatment

The TMJ is the temporomandibular joint that connects the jaw to the skull. It is essential for the movement of the mouth during eating, breathing, and speaking. When it has problems, it can lead to pain and clicking, or even cause swelling and jaw locking.

Additionally, seemingly unrelated symptoms such as headaches, earaches, neck and shoulder discomfort, ear ringing, facial swelling, and neck pain can also be related to TMJ issues. If you experience any of these symptoms, please schedule an appointment with us to assess the condition of your TMJ. Our specialized team can help identify and treat potential problems, providing greater well-being and quality of life.

Orthognathic Surgery

MAXILLAE IN THEIR CORRECT POSITION ON THE FACE
Orthognathic surgery corrects dentofacial deformities, which are congenital or acquired deformities that affect the maxillae and result in skeletal and dental alterations that impact the face.

It also corrects the improper positioning and anomalies in maxillary growth, improving facial aesthetics, occlusion (the alignment of teeth), the mandibular joint, as well as respiratory disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea.

Mentoplasty

CORRECTION OF CHIN POSITION
Mentoplasty is the name given to a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the position of the chin. It is indicated in cases where repositioning the chin correctly is necessary for facial aesthetics and should be in harmony with the position of the nose, forehead, and mouth. It involves placing a silicone prosthesis between the bone and the chin muscles.

Facial Aesthetics

Responsible facial aesthetics involve ethical, safe, and personalized procedures that respect the health and desires of the client. Experienced and qualified professionals are essential for performing these interventions. Commonly requested procedures include fillers, thread lifts, and neck liposuction.

Before any treatment, a preliminary consultation is essential to discuss your concerns, medical history, and expectations. Only after a careful evaluation will we determine the suitability of the treatment for you.

We will provide detailed information about the procedures, risks, and expected results, allowing you to make an informed decision. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

Stomatology

PREVENT, DIAGNOSE, AND TREAT DISEASES
Stomatology is a specialty which purpose is to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that manifest in the oral cavity, face, neck, and the bones of the maxillo-mandibular complex. It is also the responsibility of the stomatologist to be attentive to the diagnosis and appropriate referral to a physician for systemic diseases that may present manifestations in the mouth or have some negative influence or interaction with dental treatment.
