Specialties

Orthognathic Surgery

It is a surgical intervention aimed at correcting maxillo-mandibular deformities to achieve the perfect balance of the patient’s facial features. With more than 200 cases a year successfully treated, we are a Worldwide Reference Center in this specialty. Our approach is called Orthofacial surgery, because we consider the face as a whole, thus maximizing aesthetic results.

Implantology

At Maxillofacial Institute we are leaders in Implant Dentistry. Maxillofacial surgeons at our center have designed and published numerous techniques to enable reconstruction of severely compromised cases, achieving a success rate of 98.5%.

Aestethic surgery

We offer several procedures to combat the first signs of ageing or to modify a facial feature that is not in harmony with the rest of the face. All of our treatments are minimally invasive, that is, they do not leave visible scars, and the postoperative period is short, comfortable and with minimal pain.

Thank you notes

"[...] I cannot thank the team enough. They were exceptionally patient in answering my questions and providing me all the information I needed to feel secure in my decision.
