EXCLUSIVE TREATMENT FOR

Surgical Removal of Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are nothing but your 3rd molars that erupt in the late teen years and hence are called 'Wisdom' teeth. They generally cause problems, as there is not enough room in the upper and lower jaw for them to erupt and grow properly. As a result of this the third molars are impacted in the bone or gum. Only if they cause pain, infection or decay of the neighbouring tooth they have to be surgically removed.

Surgical removal of wisdom teeth is the most simple and commonly carried out surgical procedure by a Maxillofacial surgeon.

Dentoalveolar Surgery

Dentoalveolar surgeries are minor oral surgical procedures carried under local anaesthesia. This commonly involves dental procedures and minor oral surgical procedures in medically compromised patients, exposure of impacted or hidden canines for Orthodontic treatment, removal of extra or supernumerary teeth, incision and drainage of abscess, frenectomies, removal of tongue ties etc.

Dental Implants for Replacement of Missing Teeth and for Denture Fixation

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

Treatment of Benign Jaw Cysts and Tumours

A jaw cyst is a pathological cavity filled with fluid rarely seen in the jaws. These cysts can expand in size and weaken the bone. Sometimes they also resorb the roots of the tooth and can cause fracture of the jaws.

Benign jaw tumours are also rarely seen which causes expansion of the jaws. They may initially present causing numbness on that side of the jaw or of the lower lip. These jaw tumours if untreated can become very large and may necessitate removal of the jaw itself.

Treatment of Pre-Cancer and Mouth Cancer

White patches, red patches, ulcers or lumps in the mouth, if persist for more than 3 weeks, need to be checked by your doctor as they can be a sinister condition. Mouth cancer is usually painless in the initial stages.

Surgery for Fracture of Facial Bones

Road traffic accidents, sports injuries and interpersonal violence can lead to injuries to the soft tissues of the face & fractures of the facial bone. These are corrected by surgery and the fractured bones are fixed with microplates and screws.

TMJ or Jaw Joint Problems

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or commonly called jaw joint can be affected with clicks, grating sounds, pain and difficulty in opening the mouth. Sometimes this joint gets dislocated or gets locked in such a way that the patient is not able to open or close the mouth. Look for the dentist for such corrections.

Facial Pain

Pain originating in the face may be caused by an injury, an infection, or a nerve disorder. Also, facial pain may first begin from the jaw joint (TMJ) and the referred pain may spread to any other part of the face. Facial pain sometimes occurs for no known reason or more commonly due to stress in life.
