Comprehensive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Chennai
Not everything we treat is cancer. A wisdom tooth that will not come through. A salivary gland that keeps swelling. An infection at the root of a tooth that a root canal did not clear. These are the bread and butter of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and we treat them too. Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is the branch of dentistry and medicine that deals with diseases, injuries, and defects of the mouth, jaws, face, and neck.
The practice is led by Dr. Pradeep S. and Dr. Kalpa Pandya, both reconstructive and maxillofacial specialists. Whether you need a day-care extraction or complex reconstructive surgery, you see the same two surgeons from your first consultation through to recovery. Because our training sits at the meeting point of oral cancer surgery and reconstruction, we plan for how your face and jaw will work and look afterwards, not just for removing the problem.
Wisdom Tooth Removal and Minor Oral Surgeries
Impacted third molars often have no room to come through. They cause pain, repeated infection, and damage to the tooth next door. Wisdom tooth removal in Chennai is one of the procedures we do most often, and we use precise surgical technique to protect the nerves that run close to the lower molars, so that recovery is quick and discomfort is kept low.
We also perform apicoectomy. This is a root-end resection, done when a root canal treatment has failed to clear the infection at the tip of the tooth root. We remove the infected root tip and seal the canal. It lets you keep your natural tooth and stops the bone infection coming back. If a tooth cannot be saved and the gap is large, we can talk you through dental implants, including full-arch implant reconstruction.
Salivary Gland Surgery and Glandular Disorders
A salivary gland can swell, become painful, get infected, or develop a lump that turns out to be benign or malignant. Salivary gland surgery in Chennai covers the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, and our surgeons treat all three.
We operate on the submandibular and sublingual glands for chronic sialadenitis, salivary stones, and cysts. These glands sit right next to the facial and lingual nerves, so the whole approach is built around careful dissection: preserve the nerve, restore normal salivary flow. If a gland lump turns out to be malignant, you are already in the right place, and the same team handles the cancer pathway, including neck dissection where the disease has spread to lymph nodes and tumour board review of your case.
Advanced Care for Jaw Lesions and Fistulas
We also handle the harder corrective work. That includes benign jaw cysts and tumours such as an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), and the closure of an oroantral fistula. A fistula is an unnatural opening between the maxillary sinus and the mouth, and it often appears after an upper molar has been taken out.
We assess patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, including jaw clicking and pain and a jaw that locks; where conservative treatment has not worked, TMJ surgery is an option. We treat oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) such as leukoplakia, and oral submucous fibrosis, where a tight mouth opening may be relieved by OSMF release surgery. We also manage facial injuries, including fixing broken jaw and facial fractures. Every plan is built around the same goals: settle the pain, get the jaw moving, and stop long-term damage.
Dedicated Care for Regional and International Patients
Continuity matters. From your first visit to Greams Road to your last follow-up, the same surgeon who assessed you is the one who operates on you and the one who reviews you afterwards. We do not hand our patients over to junior associates. If your case turns out to need cancer surgery rather than a minor procedure, you stay with the same team and can ask for a second opinion before you commit to anything.
Patients travel to us from across Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Bangladesh, and from the wider South India and South Asia regions. Outstation and international families are welcome. We offer remote second opinions before you travel, and support for Bengali- and Tamil-speaking patients.
