Corrective jaw surgery lets you look and feel your best
When you or a family member faces jaw or facial surgery to correct an imbalanced bite, facial birth defect, injury or bone loss from cancer treatment, you can depend on the experts at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery division of the Department of Otolaryngology at Beth Israel Medical Center (BIMC).

Highly experienced jaw reconstructive surgeons
Our acclaimed surgical team has treated thousands of people with jaw discrepancies, facial abnormalities and other disease and conditions of the mouth, head and neck.

BIMC's multidisciplinary head and neck and maxillofacial team includes microvascular and head and neck surgeons, oral and maxillofacial experts and prosthodontists. We pioneered a number of reconstructive techniques as well as procedures that combine skeletal reconstruction and dental implants.

Multidisciplinary care and support services
Because successful oral and maxillofacial surgery requires coordinated multidisciplinary care, all related services at BIMC are conveniently located under one roof. Our state-of-the-art facilities are just steps away from specialty care in orthodontics, dentistry, plastic surgery, audiology, genetics, speech and swallowing pathology, nutritional counseling, pain and palliative care, family counseling and psychological services in the Phillips Ambulatory Care Center (PACC) in Manhattan.
