Dentoalveolar Surgery treatment in Dhakuria

Dentoalveolar Surgery deals with procedures to treat teeth disorders and supporting structures associated with the oral cavity. It focuses on correcting any oral issues that arise from jawbone, teeth, gum, and other structures above or below the gum line. The scope of Dentalalveoloar Surgery ranges from mild to extreme interventions, such as Extractions of Wisdom Teeth, Pre-prosthetic Surgery, and Grafting of skin or gum tissue. Since Dentoalveolar Surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures, which are addressed for each condition, they are of varying severity and time. Depending on the complexity of the disease, Dentoalveolar Surgeries can be done in a doctor’s office setting or an operation theatre for difficult cases.

  • Removal and reshaping of bone material

  • Soft tissue repair or removal

  • Vestibuloplasty with skin grafts, which involves the use of skin grafts to reshape the area between lips and gums

During your first consultation, oral maxillofacial surgeons will discuss with you the onset of symptoms, medical and family history, medications, and past consultations, if any. Based on the discussion, a physical examination will be conducted to check how severe your pain is. For a precise diagnosis, our surgeons may recommend undergoing an X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan of your gums or teeth. After reviewing your imaging scans and reports, an appropriate treatment plan will be discussed, along with its risks and benefits and post-care instructions. You will have the opportunity to address any of your concerns or worries, which our specialists will explain nicely.

Based on your initial evaluation and imaging scans, a personalised treatment plan personalised for your condition will be discussed with you. Depending on the severity of the surgery, general or local anaesthesia is administered to mitigate any pain or discomfort that may occur during the procedure. It is essential to discuss with your surgeon your stay at the hospital post-procedure. While minor surgeries, such as the removal of wisdom teeth, can be performed in an outpatient setting, major surgeries may require you to stay at the hospital for a day or two for further monitoring.

Our specialists will give you personalised guidance regarding the preparation for Dentoalveolar Surgery. However, general instructions include:

  • Wearing comfortable clothes during the surgery

  • Making arrangements for your transportation to and from the hospital along with your family

  • Let our specialists know about the medications you have been consuming. You may be advised to avoid some medications, like blood thinners, before surgery

  • Adhering to any instructions on fasting, eating, or drinking before the procedure

  • Discussing any concerns or worries that you have related to your procedure

Recovery time after undergoing Dentoalveolar Surgery will depend on the underlying cause addressed, the type of procedure performed, the severity of the condition, and individual factors of the patient. It is common to feel some swelling or bruising after the procedure, which would take at least 7 to 10 days to subside. Applying ice packs for 20 minutes at regular intervals during the first two days can help reduce swelling. Moreover, movement of the jaw in a gentle phase would facilitate minimising any swelling or stiffness in the jaw. Additionally, pain medications and antibiotics will be prescribed to minimise the occurrence of infections and pain post-surgery.

General post-recovery instructions you should follow after undergoing Dentoalveolar Surgery include:

  • Having a soft diet after surgery and gradually consuming a normal diet. Avoiding foods that are excessively hot or cold on the day of surgery is advised to prevent potential complications such as excessive bleeding.

  • Refraining from smoking or drinking, at least for the first 10 days, and while on antibiotics or painkillers, as it could hinder your healing process.

  • Adhering to any prescriptions tailored by our specialists and attending follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

  • Sticking to instructions regarding oral hygiene post-surgery to manage your risk of infections.

  • Abstaining from normal activities for a certain period for patients who have undergone major surgeries.
