When Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Needed in Attapur?
A swollen cheek that does not settle. A jaw that clicks or locks when you eat. Pain at the back of your mouth that stops you from opening fully. These are signs people notice before they know they need a surgeon.
- Persistent facial swelling that lasts more than three days and does not respond to medication
- Difficulty opening your mouth wide enough to eat normally, known as trismus
- Impacted wisdom teeth causing repeated gum infection or damage to the neighbouring molar
- Jaw misalignment after trauma, or a bite that suddenly feels wrong
- Numbness or tingling in the lower lip or chin, which can signal nerve involvement
- A cyst or growth in the jawbone seen on a previous dental X-ray
- Facial lacerations or fractures from workplace or road accidents near Attapur's industrial zones
Only a clinical examination and an X-ray confirm whether surgery is needed. Call the branch to book.
Simple Extraction vs Surgical Extraction
The position of the tooth and the shape of its roots decide which method applies. Your dentist confirms this after viewing a digital X-ray.
- Simple extraction: The tooth is visible above the gum and can be lifted with forceps after loosening the ligament.
- Surgical extraction: The tooth is impacted, broken below the gum line, or has curved roots that require a small bone trim and stitches.
- Anaesthesia depth: Simple cases need local infiltration; surgical cases may need a nerve block for deeper numbness.
- Time in the chair: Simple extractions take 15 to 30 minutes; surgical cases run 45 to 90 minutes.
- Recovery window: Simple cases heal in 3 to 5 days; surgical sites need 7 to 14 days for initial closure.
- Follow-up needs: Surgical extractions need suture removal at day 7; simple cases often do not.
How Partha Dental Performs Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Book a consultation at the Attapur branch or call 090306 22077.
- The surgeon reviews your medical history and checks blood pressure and blood sugar.
- A digital OPG or CBCT scan maps the tooth position, nerve paths, and bone density.
- The surgeon explains the procedure, anaesthesia type, and recovery timeline in writing.
- Local anaesthesia is administered; the surgeon operates using sterile instruments and a rubber dam where needed.
- The site is closed with dissolvable or removable sutures, and a gauze pack controls bleeding.
- A follow-up appointment checks healing at 7 to 10 days, or sooner if you report problems.
What to Expect During Recovery
Swelling peaks at 48 hours, then fades. Mild oozing is normal for the first day. Most patients return to desk work in 2 to 3 days, but avoid heavy lifting or bending for a week.
- Ice packs on the cheek for 15 minutes every hour during the first day reduce swelling.
- Soft diet only for 48 hours; avoid seeds, nuts, and crunchy foods that lodge in the socket.
- No suction through straws or cigarettes for 72 hours; this protects the blood clot.
- Salt-water rinses start after 24 hours, gently, after each meal.
- Pain relief follows the written prescription; do not substitute your own medication.
- Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows for the first two nights.
- Call the clinic immediately if bleeding soaks through gauze after four hours, or if pain worsens after day three instead of improving.
What Happens If Oral and Maxillofacial Problems Are Left Untreated?
An impacted wisdom tooth can destroy the adjacent molar's root. A jaw cyst can expand and weaken bone until it fractures under normal chewing force. A misaligned jaw causes uneven wear, TMJ pain, and sometimes sleep apnoea. Facial fractures that heal without reduction can leave permanent asymmetry and bite problems. Infection from a dental source can spread to the neck or chest. These risks increase with time, not decrease.

Frequently asked questions
You need a surgeon for jaw fractures, impacted teeth, facial cysts, or bite corrections that require bone work. A general dentist handles fillings, cleanings, and simple extractions. The dentist who examines you refers to the surgeon if imaging shows a complex case.
Most surgical extractions take 45 to 90 minutes in the chair, depending on tooth position and root shape. Impacted wisdom teeth in the lower jaw usually need more time than upper teeth. Your surgeon gives a specific estimate after reviewing your CBCT scan.
The fee depends on the procedure complexity, anaesthesia type, imaging needed, and whether bone grafting or plating is involved. Simple extractions cost less than jaw realignment or trauma repair. Partha Dental provides a written quote after the consultation and X-ray, with EMI plans available.
No, if you received sedation or general anaesthesia. With local anaesthesia only, some patients drive, but arranging a companion is safer. Your surgeon advises based on the procedure length and your response to the anaesthetic.
Call if bleeding continues after four hours of pressure, swelling worsens after day three, you develop fever above 100.4°F, or numbness persists beyond 24 hours. These signs need assessment, not home management.
