Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Lucknow

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the branch of dentistry that deals with surgery of the mouth, jaws and face. The name joins “oral,” meaning the mouth, with “maxillofacial,” meaning the jaws and face.

A maxillofacial surgeon (मुंह, जबड़े और चेहरे का सर्जन) is a dentist who has completed specialist surgical training. In India, this means a BDS degree followed by a three-year MDS in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. This training prepares them for procedures beyond routine dental care, from complex extractions to jaw and facial surgery (जबड़े और चेहरे की सर्जरी).

Treatments We Offer

At Endocare, oral and maxillofacial surgery includes:

• Wisdom Tooth Removal Surgical removal of impacted or problem wisdom teeth that cannot come through properly.
• Surgical Tooth Extraction Removing broken, badly decayed or deeply rooted teeth that need a surgical approach.
• Corrective Jaw Surgery Surgery for jaw misalignment and bite problems, usually planned together with orthodontic treatment.
• Facial Injury Treatment Care for injuries to the teeth, mouth and jaw after a fall, accident or sports injury.
• TMJ Disorder Treatment Care for jaw joint pain, clicking or locking, usually starting with non-surgical treatment.
• Sinus Lift & Bone Grafting Rebuilding jawbone where it is thin or lost, often to prepare the site for a dental implant.
• Oral Cysts and Lesions Removal or biopsy of cysts, growths or suspicious patches in the mouth.
• Dental Implant Surgery Surgical placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth.

Many of these procedures are done in the clinic under local anaesthesia. Some larger procedures, such as major jaw surgery, are usually carried out in a hospital under general anaesthesia. Your surgeon will explain where and how your treatment will be done.

When Should You See a Maxillofacial Surgeon?

Your dentist may refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, or you may book directly, in situations such as:

• Impacted Wisdom Teeth Wisdom teeth that are stuck, painful or causing repeated infection.
• Complex Tooth Removal A tooth that cannot be taken out with a simple extraction.
• Jaw Pain or Misalignment Ongoing jaw pain, clicking or bite problems that affect chewing or facial balance.
• A Patch or Ulcer That Will Not Heal A mouth ulcer, white or red patch, or lump that has not healed within two to three weeks.
• Dental or Jaw Injury A broken or knocked-out tooth, or a jaw injury that is not an emergency.
• Missing Teeth When dental implants are the chosen way to replace lost teeth.

Not every mouth or jaw problem needs surgery. Most non-healing patches turn out to be harmless, but checking them early is important, especially for people who smoke or chew tobacco.

When to Seek Urgent Care

Some problems need emergency treatment at a hospital rather than a clinic appointment. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away if you have:

• Swelling that spreads quickly toward the eye, neck or under the jaw
• Difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Bleeding that does not stop after firm pressure
• A serious facial injury, especially with a head injury, loss of consciousness or a jaw that will not close properly
• A high fever with facial swelling

For a knocked-out or broken tooth with no other injury, contact a dentist as soon as possible, since quick treatment improves the chance of saving the tooth.

Before Your Surgery

Sharing your full health history helps your surgeon plan safe treatment. Before any procedure, tell your surgeon about:

• Medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or bleeding problems
• All medicines you take, especially blood thinners
• Allergies, particularly to medicines or anaesthesia
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Smoking or any tobacco use, including chewing tobacco

Do not stop any prescribed medicine on your own. Your surgeon will coordinate with your doctor if a change is needed before surgery.

What to Expect During Treatment

01 – Consultation & Imaging The surgeon reviews your symptoms and health history, examines the area and takes X-rays or scans if needed.

02 – Treatment Plan & Consent Your options, benefits, risks and any alternatives are explained, so you can make an informed decision.

03 – The Procedure Most minor oral surgery is done under local anaesthesia, so the area is numb and you feel only pressure.

04 – Recovery & Follow-up You get written aftercare instructions, and any follow-up or stitch removal is arranged.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery depends on the procedure, but good aftercare supports healing in most cases. General tips after oral surgery include:

• Use a cold pack on your cheek to reduce swelling in the first day or two
• Eat soft foods and avoid hard, crunchy or very hot items at first
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol while you heal
• Rest and avoid heavy exercise for a few days, as it can increase bleeding and swelling
• Keep the area clean as advised, often by gently rinsing rather than brushing over it at first

Your surgeon will give instructions for your specific procedure. Contact the clinic if pain gets worse after a few days, bleeding does not settle or swelling keeps increasing.

Risks and Safety

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is generally safe when planned and carried out by a trained specialist, but like all surgery it carries some risk. Possible problems include:

• Swelling, bruising and discomfort, which are common and usually short term
• Bleeding or infection after the procedure
• Dry socket after a tooth extraction
• Numbness or tingling in the lip, chin or tongue, which is usually temporary but can occasionally last longer

Your surgeon reduces these risks by reviewing your health and imaging carefully before treatment. Your individual risks depend on the procedure and your health, and your surgeon will discuss them with you before you agree to treatment.

How Much Does Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cost?

The cost of oral and maxillofacial surgery in India varies widely because the speciality covers so many procedures. A surgical extraction, an implant and jaw surgery are priced very differently.

The main factors that affect the cost are:

• The type and complexity of the procedure
• The number of teeth or the area involved
• The imaging and tests needed
• The type of anaesthesia and whether a hospital stay is required
• Follow-up care

There is no single fixed price. A consultation in Lucknow gives you a clear estimate for your specific procedure before you decide.
