At Cavity Dental Staff, we believe that education is just the beginning. Our commitment goes beyond the classroom — we’re proud to stand alongside Saving Faces, the UK’s only charity dedicated exclusively to facial surgery research and patient support.

About Saving Faces

Saving Faces, officially known as the Facial Surgery Research Foundation, was founded by leading oral and maxillofacial surgeon Professor Iain Hutchison. The organisation is at the forefront of pioneering research, aiming to prevent and treat facial diseases, disfigurements, and injuries through advanced surgical innovation, education, and emotional support.

Whether it’s tackling oral cancer, facial trauma, or congenital deformities, Saving Faces collaborates with top-tier surgeons and scientists to enhance lives and outcomes — both medically and emotionally.

Why Facial Surgery Research Is So Vital

Our faces are central to who we are — they reflect our identity, emotion, and confidence. That’s why any illness or trauma involving the face affects far more than just appearance.

Saving Faces leads with compassionate, patient-focused care, prioritising both the physical recovery and the emotional well-being of individuals undergoing facial surgery. Through the National Facial and Oral Research Centre (NFORC) — the world’s first research centre of its kind — they are driving global innovation in facial surgery and patient care.
