Oral Surgeries in Bangalore
Oral surgery covers the dental procedures that involve cutting into gum or bone: surgical extractions, impacted or broken-down teeth, exposure of a buried tooth, minor soft-tissue procedures and biopsy of a persistent lesion. Each one is planned from imaging first, and carried out under local anaesthesia.

What it does for you
Removes teeth that cannot be extracted simply
A tooth that is impacted, badly broken down, or has curved or ankylosed roots needs a surgical approach. Attempting it otherwise risks fracturing the tooth or the surrounding bone.
Resolves infection at its source
Chronic infection around a retained root, a cyst or a non-restorable tooth keeps returning until the cause is removed. Surgery addresses the source rather than each flare-up.
Planned from imaging, not from guesswork
X-rays, and a CT scan where needed, show root anatomy and the position of the nerve, sinus and adjacent roots before anything is started. The plan follows the imaging.
Prepares the mouth for restorative work
Bone grafting, sinus lift and soft-tissue procedures create the conditions an implant or a well-fitting denture needs. Without them, the restoration that follows is compromised.
Persistent lesions get a diagnosis
A biopsy of a lump or a non-healing ulcer converts an unknown into a diagnosis. Where something is benign it settles the question; where it is not, early identification matters most.
Carried out under controlled anaesthesia
Procedures are done with proper anaesthesia, sterile technique and written aftercare, which is what separates a planned surgical extraction from an emergency one.
How the treatment works
Assessment and imaging
Medical history, medication review and examination, with X-rays or a CT scan to map the anatomy before any surgical plan is made.
Planning and consent
The procedure, anaesthesia options, risks and recovery are set out so you can agree to it knowing what is involved.
The procedure
Carried out under local anaesthesia with sterile technique, closing the site with sutures where required.
Recovery and review
Written aftercare, then a follow-up to confirm healing, remove sutures and go through any laboratory results.
Side effects, honestly
Most patients experience none of these. Some patients, in rare cases, may notice the following — listed because you deserve the full picture before you decide.
Swelling, bruising and soreness
Expected after any surgical procedure in the mouth. Swelling usually peaks around day two or three and then settles over the following days.
Restricted jaw opening
Stiffness and difficulty opening wide are common for several days after surgery near the back of the jaw, and resolve as the swelling goes down.
Bleeding
Oozing for the first day is normal and is controlled by biting on gauze. Bleeding that does not settle should be reported to the clinic the same day.
Dry socket after extraction
Losing the blood clot leaves the socket acutely painful a few days later. Not smoking, not rinsing vigorously and avoiding straws in the early days reduces the risk considerably.
Nerve proximity in the lower jaw
Procedures near the lower back teeth sit close to the nerve supplying the lip and chin. Temporary altered sensation is uncommon and lasting change rarer, and this is precisely what the pre-operative imaging assesses.
Infection of the surgical site
Uncommon and treatable. Pain increasing rather than easing after day three, a bad taste, fever or spreading swelling should prompt a call to the clinic rather than waiting for the review appointment.
