Each of these specialties provides a comprehensive range of care for patients in Herefordshire and the adjacent counties.

In addition to Oral surgical procedures, the Oral consultant has a special interest in orofacial pain and temporomandibular joint dysfunction.  Maxillofacial has a special interest in facial skin surgery for malignancy, salivary gland disorders and head and neck cancer.  Joint MDT clinics are held with the Consultant Oncologist.

The Orthodontic department offers a full range of treatment for both children and adults, using fixed appliances and functional appliances as appropriate. Joint clinics are held with the Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon for planning of orthognathic surgical procedures. The department is consultant led.
