Expert Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at Doddakannelli - Sarjapur Road & Gunjur Palya

Wisdom teeth often become "impacted" when there is insufficient space in the dental arch, causing them to grow at an angle or remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. If left untreated, they can cause severe pain, fluid-filled cysts, tooth crowding, and deep bacterial infections that destroy neighboring healthy molars. A surgical extraction safely removes these teeth under deep local anesthesia or sedation. The initial healing phase takes about 3 to 5 days, during which mild swelling is completely normal, while full tissue recovery occurs within a few weeks under our precise post-operative guidance.

Dental implant surgery is a highly predictable, routine outpatient procedure performed under precise local anesthesia or conscious sedation, meaning you will feel absolutely no pain during the surgery itself. The surgeon places a biocompatible titanium post directly into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over a few months, this post fuses naturally with your bone in a process called osseointegration. Any mild, post-surgical soreness or minor throbbing over the following 2 to 3 days is easily managed with standard prescribed anti-inflammatory medications.

When a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding jawbone naturally begins to resorb (shrink) over time due to a lack of chewing stimulation. If there isn't enough bone density or volume to securely hold a dental implant, an oral surgeon performs a bone graft. This procedure involves placing specialized bone-growing materials into the deficient area to stimulate your body into generating new, healthy bone tissue. Once the bone graft heals and matures, it creates a rock-solid, stable foundation capable of supporting a lifetime dental implant.

Yes, severe or chronic Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders that do not respond to conservative therapies—like mouthguards, physical therapy, or joint injections—can be highly effectively managed through oral and maxillofacial intervention. Our surgeons utilize advanced diagnostic imaging to evaluate the joint. Depending on the structural issue, treatments range from minimally invasive arthrocentesis (flushing out the joint to reduce inflammation) to advanced micro-arthroscopic surgeries designed to repair or reposition the displaced joint disc and permanently eliminate chronic jaw popping and lockjaw.

Patient safety and absolute comfort are our highest clinical priorities. Depending on the complexity of your surgical procedure and your personal level of dental anxiety, our maxillofacial team offers customized anesthesia options:

• Advanced Local Anesthesia: Completely numbs the specific surgical site while you remain fully awake.
• Conscious Intravenous (IV) Sedation: Places you into a deeply relaxed, twilight sleep state where you can still respond to simple instructions but will remember nothing of the procedure.
• General Anesthesia: Reserved for complex jaw reconstructions or severe trauma, performed in a controlled surgical environment alongside certified anesthesiologists.
