Aesthetic and Corrective Jaw Surgery: Dr Chan Siew Luen

Comments: http://oralsurgery.com.sg Dr SL Chan is an aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre. With the younger population, he is able to do reconstructive surgery where there is developmental growth abnormality in the jaw. With the older population, he is able to re-build shrunken jaws and teeth due to aging and atrophy. Surgeries are conducted using modern technologies to ensure good results in a shorter time with less pain and swelling. Dr Chan employs advance technologies to help plan more accurate surgery , minimize unnecessary trauma and helps reduce time to recovery. One is the use of simulation software in the planning facial corrective surgery. In 2009, he has the only Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrator which reduces the need for major bone transplant and enables patients to have much shorter recovery from surgery. Dr Chan's clinic is the only dental clinic with an in house Vatech CT Scan technology which has low radiation and also reduces the time and inconvenience for patients to get a scan and diagnosis. Dr Chan also uses simulation software like Simplant that allows a patient to have a mental picture of how he or she would look like before embarking on the surgery.
