When Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Needed in Himayat Nagar?
A swollen jaw that will not settle, a wisdom tooth buried sideways, or a facial injury after a road accident. These are the moments when a general dentist refers you to a specialist. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons handle conditions that go far beyond routine fillings and cleanings.
- Persistent facial swelling that lasts more than 48 hours without improvement
- Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, crowding, or repeated infection
- Jaw fractures or trauma from accidents, falls, or sports injuries
- Cysts or tumors in the jawbone detected on an X-ray
- Difficulty opening the mouth fully due to joint or bone problems
- Facial deformities or asymmetry affecting chewing, speech, or appearance
- Failed previous extractions where roots broke or infection set in
Only a clinical examination and an X-ray can confirm whether surgery is the right path. Call to book that first assessment.
Simple Extraction vs Surgical Extraction
Not every tooth comes out the same way. The dentist decides between simple and surgical removal based on what the X-ray shows, how much tooth remains above the gum, and whether roots are hooked or fused to bone.
- Simple extraction: the tooth is visible, loose, and lifts out with standard forceps under local anaesthesia
- Surgical extraction: requires an incision, sometimes bone removal, and stitches; used for impacted or broken teeth
- Time in chair: simple cases take 20 to 40 minutes; surgical cases run 45 to 90 minutes or more
- Healing window: simple extraction heals in 7 to 10 days; surgical sites need 2 to 3 weeks for initial closure
- Cost driver: surgical extractions involve more materials, operating time, and follow-up visits
- Deciding factor: the position, shape, and condition of the tooth roots on the radiograph
How Partha Dental Performs Surgical Extractions
- The surgeon reviews your medical history and takes a digital OPG or CBCT scan
- Local anaesthetic numbs the area; sedation is discussed if anxiety is high
- A small incision opens the gum to reach bone-covered or broken tooth sections
- The tooth is sectioned or bone is trimmed to allow safe removal
- The socket is cleaned, stitches are placed, and gauze controls bleeding
- A follow-up appointment checks healing and removes non-dissolving sutures
What to Expect During Recovery
Swelling peaks at 48 to 72 hours. Most patients manage discomfort with prescribed medication and cold packs. Soft foods are essential for the first week. Strenuous activity and smoking delay healing.
- First 24 hours: bite on gauze for 30 to 60 minutes; avoid rinsing or spitting
- Days 2 to 3: apply ice packs 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off; sleep with head elevated
- Days 4 to 7: begin warm saltwater rinses gently; stick to soft, cool foods
- Week 2: stitches removed if non-dissolving; gradual return to normal diet
- Warning signs: call the clinic if bleeding restarts, pain worsens after day 4, or fever develops
- Full bone fill: the socket typically fills with new bone over 3 to 6 months
What Happens If Surgical 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. Facial trauma that misaligns the bite can lead to chronic joint pain and uneven wear. These conditions rarely resolve on their own; they tend to progress, and the surgery becomes more involved the longer you wait.
