Precision, Function & Facial Harmony
Every face is different. Every jaw has its own structure, function and relationship with the surrounding facial features.
Dr. Bakri's approach combines careful diagnosis, clinical experience and modern surgical planning to develop treatment plans that are tailored to each patient's individual needs.
Specialized Surgical Care
Areas of practice
Four closely related areas of surgery, each approached from a detailed understanding of facial anatomy and function.
Orthognathic Surgery
Surgical correction of jaw and facial skeletal discrepancies to improve function, occlusion and facial balance.
- Class II
- Class III
- Open Bite
- Facial Asymmetry
- Bimaxillary Surgery
- Genioplasty
- Virtual Surgical Planning
TMJ Surgery
Advanced surgical management of selected temporomandibular joint conditions.
- TMJ Arthroscopy
- Open TMJ Surgery
- Disc Procedures
- Condylar Surgery
- TMJ Reconstruction
- Total Joint Replacement
Facial Surgery
Surgical procedures addressing facial form, proportion, contour and function.
- Genioplasty
- Facial Contouring
- Chin & Jawline Proportion
- Combined Skeletal & Facial Planning
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Comprehensive surgical care for conditions of the mouth, jaws and face.
- Facial Trauma
- Jaw Pathology
- Impacted Teeth
- Cysts & Tumours
- Craniofacial Conditions
- Reconstructive Surgery
Surgical Philosophy
Our Surgical Philosophy
Four principles guide how every case is assessed, discussed and planned.
Function First
Treatment aims to support bite, chewing, jaw movement and long-term oral function.
Facial Balance
Every plan considers the relationship between the jaws, face, profile and soft tissues.
Precision Planning
Where appropriate, advanced imaging and virtual planning support detailed surgical preparation.
Individualized Care
Every recommendation is based on the individual patient’s diagnosis, goals and clinical needs.
Digital Surgical Planning
Virtual Surgical Planning
Advanced imaging and three-dimensional planning allow selected procedures to be evaluated in detail before surgery.
Virtual surgical planning may help in analyzing facial anatomy, assessing skeletal relationships, evaluating symmetry and preparing a detailed surgical plan.
Consultation
Understanding concerns, goals and medical history.
Clinical Assessment
Examination of the face, bite, joints and function.
3D Imaging
CBCT or CT combined with digital dental scans where indicated.
Virtual Planning
Simulating and evaluating movements on a 3D model.
Surgery
Transferring the plan with splints, guides or patient-specific plates.
Follow-up
Monitoring healing, the bite and long-term stability.
