Services

At Intercare Sandton Day Hospital, Dr Suleman delivers a full spectrum of maxillo‑facial surgical services, each performed with precision and advanced technology:

• Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
  He corrects jaw misalignments—I.e., mandibular and maxillary osteotomies—to improve bite, facial harmony, and function.

• Facial Trauma Management
  He treats mandibular, zygomatic, and orbital fractures using rigid fixation and 3D‑guided planning, which restores anatomy precisely.

• Oncologic Resection & Reconstruction
  He removes benign and malignant head‑and‑neck tumours, then reconstructs defects with free‑flap and osseocutaneous grafts, ensuring both form and function.

• Dental Implantology
  He places guided‑surgery implants—including immediate loading—using CBCT‑derived surgical guides for predictable outcomes and minimal downtime.

• Orthodontic‑Surgical Cases
  He collaborates with orthodontists on combined orthodontic and surgical treatment, addressing severe malocclusion and craniofacial discrepancies in a single plan.

• Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Surgery
  He manages TMJ disorders via arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and disc repositioning, often achieving pain relief and restored function.

• Salivary Gland Surgery
  He excises parotid and submandibular lesions using nerve‑sparing techniques to protect facial nerve branches.

• Corrective Facial Plastic Surgery
  He performs rhinoplasty, facial contouring osteotomies, and soft‑tissue lifts for both functional and cosmetic enhancements.

Each procedure unfolds in laminar‑flow theatres equipped with high‑definition imaging, intraoperative navigation, and a dedicated nursing team. Consequently, patients benefit from shorter recovery and superior outcomes.
