Maxillofacial Surgeries in Thane

How the decision for maxillofacial surgery is usually made in Thane

Wisdom teeth are the most common example. An impacted wisdom tooth that is causing no symptoms and no damage on the X-ray can often be monitored. Removal is generally advised when there are repeated gum infections, decay in the wisdom tooth or the tooth in front, a cyst, or pressure damage to the neighbouring root.

For jaws that do not match in size or position, braces or aligners can correct the teeth but cannot move the jawbones. Mild discrepancies are often managed with orthodontics alone. Marked ones that affect chewing, speech or facial balance may need corrective jaw surgery, usually combined with orthodontic treatment before and after.

Jaw cysts and growths generally do need removal and laboratory examination, because they can enlarge silently and weaken the bone. Facial fractures are assessed individually. Some heal with a soft diet and rest, while displaced fractures need fixing so the bite comes together correctly.

A mouth ulcer or a white or red patch that has not healed in two to three weeks should be examined, particularly in people who use tobacco or areca nut. A small biopsy is the only reliable way to know what it is. Early assessment matters here.

In every case the surgeon will confirm the plan after examining you and reviewing the scans, and will explain the specific risks, such as swelling, temporary numbness or infection, that apply to your procedure.
