Some people with oral cancer may need to have reconstructive surgery to rebuild the bones or tissues of the mouth. Research has led to many advances in the way bones and tissues can be rebuilt.

GrayHawk Prosthodontics uses advanced surgical techniques to help restore function and appearance for patients who have had oral cancer surgery. Reconstruction may be as simple as putting tongue muscles back together in the best possible manner after removing tongue cancer, or placing a skin graft to replace a missing oral cavity lining.

When patients have had more advanced cancers, more advanced reconstruction is often required.

Rehabilitation is an essential phase of cancer care and should be considered from the time of diagnosis in a complete and comprehensive treatment plan. The primary objective of rehabilitation is the restoration of appearance and function.
