Comprehensive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Chennai

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is a highly specialized branch of dentistry and medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries, and defects of the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. At Mouth Cancer Surgeons, our practice is led by Dr. Pradeep S. and Dr. Kalpa Pandya, two dedicated reconstructive and maxillofacial specialists who provide continuous, personalized care from your initial consultation through your complete recovery.

Whether you require a routine outpatient procedure or complex reconstructive surgery, our team ensures a safe, clinically precise experience. By combining oncology expertise with reconstructive maxillofacial surgery, we address both functional and aesthetic aspects of your facial structure.

Wisdom Tooth Removal and Minor Oral Surgeries

Impacted third molars, or wisdom teeth, often lack the space to erupt properly, causing pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. We perform wisdom tooth removal Chennai patients rely on for minimal discomfort and rapid recovery, utilizing precise surgical techniques to protect surrounding nerves.

In addition to extractions, we perform apicoectomy Chennai procedures. An apicoectomy is a root-end resection performed when a standard root canal treatment fails to clear an infection at the tip of the tooth root. By removing the infected root tip and sealing the canal, we help patients preserve their natural teeth and prevent recurrent bone infections.

Salivary Gland Surgery and Glandular Disorders

Salivary gland disorders can manifest as painful swelling, infections, or benign and malignant tumors. Our surgeons are highly experienced in salivary gland surgery Chennai patients need for conditions affecting the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands.

We perform precise submandibular and sublingual gland surgery to treat chronic sialadenitis, salivary stones, or cysts. Because these glands lie in close proximity to critical facial and lingual nerves, our surgical approach focuses on meticulous dissection to preserve nerve function and restore normal salivary flow.

Advanced Care for Jaw Lesions and Fistulas

Our surgical scope extends to complex corrective procedures, including the management of benign jaw cysts and tumours such as an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and the closure of abnormal pathways like an oroantral fistula. An oroantral fistula is an unnatural communication between the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity, often occurring after the extraction of upper molar teeth.

We also evaluate patients suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), and oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). Each treatment plan is tailored to resolve chronic pain, restore jaw mobility, and prevent long-term functional decline.

Dedicated Care for Regional and International Patients

At our practice, we believe that continuity of care is vital for successful surgical outcomes. From your first diagnostic visit to Greams Road or Porur, to your long-term follow-up appointments, you will be treated by the exact same maxillofacial surgeon Chennai patients trust with their care. We do not hand off our patients to junior associates, ensuring that your treatment is consistent and highly personalized.

Our commitment to clinical excellence extends far beyond local boundaries. Patients frequently travel to our Chennai practice from across Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Bangladesh, as well as the wider South India and South Asia regions. We warmly welcome outstation and international families, offering remote second opinions and dedicated support for Bengali- and Tamil-speaking patients to ensure a seamless, reassuring healthcare experience.

Frequently asked questions

What is oral and maxillofacial surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized surgical field addressing diseases, injuries, and defects of the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. It ranges from simple tooth extractions and apicoectomies to complex reconstructive surgeries for jaw trauma, cysts, and oral cancer.

What should I expect during wisdom tooth removal in Chennai?

Wisdom tooth removal is typically performed under local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or general anesthesia. Our surgeons use precise techniques to safely extract the impacted tooth, minimize tissue trauma, and reduce post-operative swelling, ensuring a smooth recovery over a few days.

When is salivary gland surgery necessary?

Surgery is recommended for chronic salivary stones, recurrent infections, cysts, or tumors within the salivary glands. Procedures like submandibular or sublingual gland surgery are performed to remove the affected gland while carefully protecting nearby nerves.

What is an apicoectomy and when is it needed?

An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure where the tip of a tooth root is removed and sealed. It is needed when a previous root canal treatment fails to resolve an infection around the root tip, helping to save the tooth from extraction.

How is an oroantral fistula treated?

An oroantral fistula is closed surgically by rotating a tissue flap (often from the palate or cheek) to seal the opening between the mouth and the maxillary sinus. This prevents food and fluids from entering the sinus, allowing the tissues to heal properly.

Where can I consult your maxillofacial surgeons in Chennai?

You can consult Dr. Pradeep S. at Apollo Main Hospital on Greams Road and Dr. Kalpa Pandya at Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre in Porur. Both surgeons collaborate closely on complex cases, providing coordinated care across these premier Chennai locations.

How much does oral & maxillofacial surgery cost in Chennai?

Cost varies by procedure — wisdom-tooth surgery, apicoectomy, salivary gland surgery and fistula closure all differ — and depends on anaesthesia, day-care versus admission, and the hospital. We give a clear estimate at consultation, and medically necessary procedures are usually covered by insurance.

How soon can I get an appointment in Chennai?

We aim to see patients quickly, including for painful impacted wisdom teeth or infections. You can request a consultation at Apollo Main Hospital (Greams Road) or Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre (Porur), and we offer remote video second opinions for outstation patients before they travel.
