About Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS)

Oral and Maxillofacial (OMF) Surgeons specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, face and neck.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is a surgical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, face and neck. In NHSGGC, the Department of OMFS is a regional service covering NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Forth Valley and NHS Ayrshire and Arran as well as the Glasgow population.

OMFS is divided into several subspecialties such as surgical treatment of head and neck cancer, craniofacial deformity, facial soft and hard tissue injuries due to trauma, infections in the head and neck region and, management of pathologies in the mouth and jaws.

OMFS perform operations on an outpatient basis (e.g. pre-implant surgery and placement of dental implants, biopsies) and an inpatient basis. The latter are generally more complex operations and patients need to be admitted. They include operations to:

  • Treat complex craniofacial fractures and soft tissue injuries of the mouth, face, and neck.
  • Treat infections in the mouth, face and neck areas generally due to complex infection arising from the teeth and/or facial structures.
  • Remove cancerous or benign tumours and subsequent reconstructive surgery when required.
  • Correct facial disproportion (known as orthognathic surgery), repair of cleft lip and palate, and other congenital facial deformities.
  • Remove impacted teeth and complex buried dental roots.
  • Remove cysts and tumours of the jaws.
  • Treat problems of the temporomandibular joint.
  • Cosmetic surgery including face lifts, eyelid and brow surgeries and rhinoplasties.

Referrals into the service typically come from GPs, the Glasgow Dental Hospital or associated specialities such as ENT, Oral Surgery, Plastic Surgery and Neurosurgery. The Department is closely linked to fellow specialities such as the Department of Neurosurgery, the Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Department of Neuroanaesthesia, Department of Neurology, neuropsychology and neurorehabilitation services as part of the Neurosciences and Spinal injuries directorate.

The service has dedicated inpatient operating theatres and outpatient treatment capacity, in-patient, ward access to ITU and HDU as well as all the support services necessary to provide a full maxillofacial service.  In addition, the service is co-located with the children’s hospital and provide cleft and craniofacial services. The imaging service are located on site with excellent facilities and the availability of interventional radiology.  The outpatient department is supported with a comprehensive maxillofacial technical laboratory, a dedicated photography department and 3D imaging facilities.

What you tell us will be treated in confidence. We will advise your GP of your progress but we do not share information with family, friends or other agencies unless you give us your consent.

How long will I need to wait?

For initial assessment appointments:

  • We review every referral we receive to check whether our service is the best fit.
  • Most people who are screened as suitable for the service will be offered an assessment appointment within five weeks of their referral being received.

For individual therapy:

  • Our service aims to meet the waiting list standards set by the Scottish Government. Most people who have been accepted for treatment within our service will be offered a treatment appointment within 18 weeks of their referral being received.

Waiting times can vary depending on a number of factors. If you are on our waiting list and have any concerns, please contact us for a more accurate estimate.

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that helps people to understand the links between their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It aims to identify and change unhelpful patterns and teaches practical skills to help improve wellbeing. CBT is a recommended treatment for many mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression.

In CBT, you and your therapist will work together towards agreed treatment goals. Sessions are weekly and focus on the difficulties affecting your day-to-day life. You will be encouraged to practice what you have learned between sessions. CBT is a short-term therapy, and most people are offered 8 to 10 sessions, although this may vary depending on your needs.

Do you offer counselling?

We are not a counselling service. However, there are some local counselling organisations which you can contact directly:

I am waiting for therapy to begin. What can I do in the mean time?

It is helpful to use the time you are waiting to prepare for therapy. If you are on our waiting list, the person who assessed you may have recommended engaging with self help materials. We also encourage people to ask themselves the following questions:

  • What is it I want to achieve by engaging in therapy?
  • What would I be doing if I was not suffering with depression, anxiety, or another specific condition?

You may also wish to visit the following website for self care advice and support: Mental wellbeing | NHS inform

    Time to Talk Day is the UK’s biggest mental health conversation, aimed at breaking stigma and encouraging open dialogue. This year in North East Glasgow, Health Improvement staff supported local conversations through small grants, enabling 20 community groups to host inclusive wellbeing events. To share these powerful stories, East End Community Radio produced Let’s Talk—a six-episode podcast series highlighting the impact across the community.

    Episode 1: Chloe introduces the podcast and explains how Health Improvement supports mental wellbeing in the community. Stuart then chats with our first guest, Barbara, who shares her experience working in mental health across Glasgow. She highlights key local services and offers a simple, helpful tip for staying mentally well.

She reflects on what participants enjoyed, why it mattered, and offers a practical tip for supporting positive mental health.

    Episode 3: Claire introduces her North East Hubcap and shares how they supported staff wellbeing through a Time to Talk activity, reflecting on what made it meaningful and offering a practical mental health tip. This episode also features voices from Easterhouse Baptist Church, Easterhouse Sports Centre, Denmilne Community Action Group, The Glenburn, and Pavilion, as they discuss their Time to Talk Day events, the impact on their communities, and how they continue to champion mental wellbeing in their everyday work.

    Episode 4: Christine introduces the Springburn and Robroyston Hubcap and shares how their Time to Talk activity supported staff wellbeing, highlighting what made it meaningful and offering a practical mental health tip.

Ann shares insights from her role, including the delivery of Scottish Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA) training, while Michelle highlights key resources from the Mental Health Board Team available on the NHS GGC website (Mental Health Improvement – NHSGGC). Both offer practical tips for maintaining positive mental wellbeing. Stuart closes the series by thanking listeners and celebrating the breadth of work delivered across the North East for Time to Talk.

    Your Voice ran from 2019 to 2025 and was delivered by the North West Youth Network across North West Glasgow. It worked with over 30 partner organisations and involved hundreds of young people across six events.  

    Young people shared what matters most to them, including mental health, feeling safe, poverty, substance use, vaping, and the need for safe places and positive activities. Each event offered fun activities like sport and creative sessions, alongside chances to speak directly with services and decision makers. What young people said was listened to and used to shape future events.  

    In 2025, the programme introduced a youth‑led grant fund, giving young people real power to decide how money was spent. Over £6,400 was awarded to local projects chosen by young people themselves, showing the programme’s commitment to youth voice and community wellbeing.
