Dr Naeem Mahomed – Maxillo-Facial Surgeon – Oranjezicht

Dr Naeem Mahomed – Maxillo-Facial Surgeon – Oranjezicht specialises in corrective and reconstructive jaw and facial procedures at Mediclinic Cape Town. He earned his BDS from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2005 and subsequently attained Fellowship in Maxillo-Facial & Oral Surgery (FC MFOS SA) from the Colleges of Medicine in 2016 Mediclinic. Consequently, he combines a strong academic foundation with advanced surgical expertise.

His primary clinical interest lies in treating dento-skeletal malformations through orthognathic surgery, which aligns jaw structure to improve function for eating, speech, and breathing. Moreover, he manages complex facial trauma, restoring both form and function after injuries. In addition, Dr Mahomed places emphasis on dental implant placement, ensuring long-term stability and aesthetics for patients with missing or failing teeth.

Furthermore, he maintains active engagement in multidisciplinary case discussions alongside orthodontists, speech therapists, and respiratory specialists. Therefore, every treatment plan reflects coordinated expertise and patient-centred decision-making. Above all, he believes clear communication and compassionate care foster optimal recovery and lasting satisfaction.

Services

Dr Mahomed offers a targeted portfolio of surgical services, each delivered with precision and personalized attention:

  • Orthognathic Surgery
    By realigning the maxilla and mandible with surgical precision, he restores balanced facial proportions and optimal bite function. Consequently, patients experience improved chewing efficiency, clearer speech, and enhanced airway patency. Furthermore, combination planning with orthodontic teams ensures seamless integration of braces and surgery.

  • Facial Trauma Surgery
    He treats fractures of the jaw, cheekbones, and orbital walls using minimally invasive plating systems. Moreover, his approach prioritises preservation of nerve function and facial symmetry. As a result, patients regain both appearance and essential functions—such as chewing and eye movement—more quickly.

  • Dental Implant Placement
    Using guided-surgery protocols and 3D imaging, he positions titanium implants accurately within the jawbone. Therefore, restorations achieve exceptional stability and natural aesthetics. Additionally, he collaborates with prosthodontists to design lifelike crowns and bridges that complement the patient’s facial profile.

Each procedure unfolds in modern operating theatres equipped with high-definition imaging and navigation systems. Moreover, Dr Mahomed ensures that every patient receives a detailed preoperative consultation, clear postoperative instructions, and close follow-up care, promoting smooth recoveries and robust outcomes.
