Clear explanations and steady support before, during and after surgery
Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers operations on the teeth, jaws and surrounding parts of the face. It ranges from removing an impacted wisdom tooth to treating jaw cysts, facial injuries and jaw alignment problems. The word surgery alone is enough to unsettle most people, and that is understandable.
At our Khar clinic, the surgeon’s first task is to explain. You will know why the procedure is advised, what the alternatives are, how the area will be numbed and what recovery is likely to involve. Dr. Parth Shah, MDS, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, is among the doctors at this clinic.
Minor oral surgery is usually performed under local anaesthetic. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can be added for anxious patients. It is inhaled with oxygen through a nose mask and helps you feel calm while remaining awake.
X-rays, and 3D scans where needed, show the position of roots, nerves and sinuses. This helps the surgeon plan carefully and tell you about risks specific to your case.
Local anaesthetic blocks pain at the site. Nitrous oxide can ease the nerves on top of that. You are checked on throughout and can ask for a pause.
You leave with instructions on swelling, diet, cleaning and medicines, and you know which symptoms are expected and which mean you should call us.
Conditions commonly treated: impacted or infected wisdom teeth, difficult extractions, cysts and swellings in the jaw, injuries to the teeth and facial bones, and jaw position problems that affect the bite. The surgeon will confirm after examination whether surgery is needed or whether a simpler approach will do.
Before the day: your medical history, medicines and allergies are reviewed. Tell us about blood thinners, diabetes, heart or breathing conditions and pregnancy. You will be advised on eating beforehand and on arranging someone to accompany you home if that is appropriate.
During minor surgery: once you are numb, you feel pressure, pushing and movement, and you may hear sounds from the instruments. You should not feel sharp pain. Stitches are often placed at the end, and some dissolve by themselves.
The first few days: swelling usually peaks around the second or third day and then goes down. Jaw stiffness, mild bleeding on the first day and bruising can occur. Cold packs, rest, soft food and prescribed medicines help. Avoid smoking, spitting forcefully and using straws, as these can disturb healing.
Larger operations: major jaw surgery and significant facial injuries are a different scale of treatment. They may require general anaesthesia and a hospital setting, with a longer recovery. If your condition falls into this group, the surgeon will explain where and how it would be carried out.
Get StartedPossible complications include infection, prolonged bleeding, a painful dry socket after extractions and, less commonly, temporary or lasting numbness of the lip or tongue when a tooth lies close to a nerve. The likelihood depends on your anatomy and health. These are discussed with you before you give consent, and you are free to take time to decide.
