Supporting Saving Faces: Championing Life-Changing Facial Surgery Research in the UK

4 min read

At Cavity Dental Staff, we believe our role goes beyond staffing and education. We want to make a positive difference in the wider community too, which is why we’re proud to support Saving Faces, the UK’s only charity dedicated exclusively to facial surgery research and patient support.

Our faces are central to who we are, reflecting our identity, emotions and confidence. For people affected by oral cancer, facial injuries or conditions they were born with, the impact goes far beyond appearance. Saving Faces funds pioneering research and provides vital emotional support to help patients rebuild their lives.

In this post, we explain who Saving Faces are and why their work matters, how Cavity is supporting them as our Charity of the Year, and the simple ways you can get involved, including raising money at no extra cost when you shop online.

    About Saving Faces

    Saving Faces, the Facial Surgery Research Foundation logoSaving 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.
