About Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a dental specialty focusing on treating reconstructive, trauma-related, pathological, and aesthetic conditions of the mouth, teeth, jaws, and face. This includes complex surgical extractions, bone grafting, cyst and tumor removal from jaws, management of TMJ disorders, facial injury repair, and orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery to fix bite issues.

At Grace Dental Care, our senior oral surgeon performs all surgical procedures with maximum precision. We utilize advanced 3D CBCT scans to map out anatomy, nerves, and bone density before surgery. Whether you need a surgical extraction of an impacted tooth or removal of a jaw cyst, our clinic provides a safe, sterile environment with pain-free protocols.

Treatment FAQs

Minor surgical procedures like extractions and cyst removals are performed under deep local anaesthesia where you remain awake but feel zero pain. Major corrective jaw surgery or trauma repair is done under General Anaesthesia in a hospital setup.
Swelling is a natural response and peak swelling occurs 48 hours after surgery. It begins to subside gradually and resolves completely in 7 to 10 days. Cold compresses for the first 24 hours help significantly.
Place a clean, damp cotton roll or a wet tea bag directly over the surgical site and bite down firmly with constant pressure for 45 minutes. Sit upright and do not spit, rinse, or lie flat. Contact us if bleeding persists.
A bone graft is a procedure where biocompatible bone granules are placed in a jaw socket or area of bone loss. Over 3–6 months, it fuses with your natural bone, rebuilding jaw volume so it can support a dental implant.
