Jaw Reconstruction Due to Oral Cancer

At CRJ Institute, we specialize in comprehensive jaw reconstruction for patients who have experienced structural damage due to oral cancer treatments. While we do not diagnose or treat oral cancer itself, we work closely with patients who have undergone surgical tumor removal, radiation, or other cancer therapies that have resulted in jawbone loss, functional impairment, or aesthetic concerns. Our focus is on restoring form, function, and confidence through state-of-the-art surgical techniques tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Rebuilding the Jaw After Oral Cancer Treatment

Oral cancer and its treatments—such as surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy—can lead to significant changes in the jawbone, teeth, and surrounding soft tissues. This can impact essential functions like chewing, speaking, and facial aesthetics. At CRJ Institute, our expert team specializes in advanced reconstructive surgery, using microvascular techniques, bone grafting, and custom implants to restore both function and appearance.

Common Reasons For Jaw Reconstruction After Cancer Treatment Include:

  • Jawbone loss due to tumor removal
  • Osteonecrosis (bone death) caused by radiation therapy
  • Soft tissue deficits affecting speech and swallowing
  • Facial asymmetry or structural imbalances

Our goal is to help patients regain confidence, comfort, and quality of life after their cancer treatment journey.

No, CRJ Institute does not diagnose or provide cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation. We specialize in jaw reconstruction for patients who have undergone oral cancer treatment and experienced bone loss or structural changes as a result.

What causes jaw deformities after oral cancer treatment?

Jaw damage can occur due to tumor removal surgeries, radiation therapy, or osteonecrosis (bone death) caused by certain cancer treatments. These can lead to bone loss, difficulty chewing or speaking, and changes in facial appearance, which may require reconstruction.

What are the treatment options for jaw reconstruction after oral cancer?

Our approach includes microvascular free flap surgery, bone grafting, custom 3D-printed implants, and dental restoration to restore both function and aesthetics. Each treatment plan is customized based on the patient’s specific needs.

How soon after oral cancer treatment can I undergo jaw reconstruction?

The timing of reconstruction depends on your healing progress, overall health, and the extent of jaw damage. Some patients can begin reconstruction soon after their cancer treatment, while others may need to wait until they are fully healed. Our team will evaluate your condition and recommend the best approach.
