Oral and maxillofacial specialists are specially trained to diagnose a range of oral conditions, including infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders and oral growths and tumours, which affect the mouth, jaws, salivary glands and surrounding tissues in the face, head and neck.
They use soft tissue and bone biopsies, imaging scans and oral examinations to identify oral and maxillofacial diseases and their causes to plan personalised care plans to manage symptoms and treat the condition.
Oral and maxillofacial infections include:
Autoimmune diseases can result in oral conditions like:

Early diagnosis is key to achieving the best possible outcomes. We recommend making an appointment to see one of our oral and maxillofacial specialists if you notice any of the following symptoms:
At an initial consultation, your OneWelbeck oral and maxillofacial specialist will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, head and neck and discuss your medical history and symptoms.
It’s likely they’ll then arrange for you to have some diagnostic tests. At OneWelbeck, we use advanced tools and techniques to make accurate diagnoses, including:
Biopsy - a small sample of tissue is taken for examination in the laboratory. This is the gold standard in testing for many oral conditions, including oral cancer
Imaging - X-rays, CT scans and MRI scans can provide detailed views of your oral and facial structures, helping your consultant identify any abnormalities
Blood tests and cultures - these are useful in the detection of infections and autoimmune disorders
The most appropriate treatment very much depends on your diagnosis. At OneWelbeck, our experts specialise in the treatment of the full range of oral and maxillofacial conditions, so whatever your diagnosis, you’re in the best hands.
