Experience World-Class Jaw Reconstruction with Fibula Jaw in a Day

At the Oral Cancer Institute, our skilled head and neck surgeons offer advanced care through the innovative Fibula Jaw in a Day procedure. Designed to restore both function and aesthetics in a single day, this advanced reconstructive surgery offers hope and healing for individuals affected by oral cancer or severe jaw damage. We combine world-class expertise with compassionate care to make you feel at home every step of the way.

A Brief History of Jaw in a Day

Our surgeons at the Oral Cancer Institute pioneered the development of this technique and were only the second group after New York University to perform and publish on this innovative jaw reconstruction technique.

Prior to this groundbreaking procedure, an oral cancer patient, typically with a jaw tumor would go through 6-18 months of multiple procedures and healing time, well before they received their new teeth. The physical and emotional toll on the patient was significant.

Fibula Jaw in a Day has changed all of that. It is a complex procedure with major planning and coordination between your doctors. From the surgery to the precision of your implants, the doctors at OCI are trailblazers in this life changing surgery. Cone Beam CT Imaging provides 3D details which are crucial for an excellent outcome.

Now, a patient can have the removal of a jaw tumor and reconstruction with a new jaw and teeth in one setting. With this approach, the patient goes into the operating room with teeth prior to the tumor removal and leaves the operating room with teeth and a new jaw.

What is Fibula Jaw in a Day?

Fibula Jaw in a Day is a revolutionary surgical procedure that allows for complete reconstruction of the jaw—including bone, soft tissue, and teeth—in a single operation. Traditionally, jaw reconstruction requires multiple surgeries over several months or even years. With this innovative approach, our team streamlines the process, ensuring faster recovery and immediate improvements in quality of life.

How It Works

The success of Fibula Jaw in a Day relies on meticulous planning and state-of-the-art technology. Cone Beam CT Imaging provides detailed 3D visuals, essential for achieving optimal results. During the procedure:

The tumor is removed.
The jaw is reconstructed using a section of the fibula.
Dental implants and teeth are placed, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.

Patients enter the operating room with their natural teeth and leave with a new jaw and restored teeth, all in one setting.
