Alveolar bone is a part of jaw bones which houses the teeth. Upon looseing or removing teeth the bone slowly resorbs or reduces in size. Tooth replacemment by implant (screw shaped prosthesis usually of titanium) require stable bone to be fixed. Alveolar bone grafting is thus a small surgical procedure to increase the bone volume for future implant placement. It can be done to increase the height , width or both of alveolar bone. It is also done as a part of gum surgery for teeth affected by periodontal disease. Various bone grafting procedures are performed at our clinic Onlay bone grafting: Bone (synthetic or natural) is placed above the native bone. Sandwich osteotomy : Bone is placed between two layers of native bone. Sinus lift surgery GBR: guided bone regeneration Doctor is very much interested in bone grafting surgeries as ‘Sandwich Osteotomy’ was his research topic and has performed many such surgeries.

Jaw alignment surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a type of corrective surgery performed to treat significant jaw and facial discrepancies. It is often used to correct problems related to the misalignment of the upper and lower jaws, which can affect a person's appearance, speech, chewing function, and overall oral health. This procedure is typically considered after other non-surgical treatment options have been exhausted or when the issues are severe and cannot be resolved with orthodontics alone. Here are some common conditions that may require jaw alignment surgery: Overbite: When the upper jaw protrudes significantly forward, leading to the upper front teeth overlapping the lower front teeth excessively. Underbite: When the lower jaw protrudes further forward than the upper jaw, causing the lower front teeth to sit in front of the upper front teeth. Crossbite: When the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside, causing an abnormal bite. Open bite: When the upper and lower front teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed. Jaw asymmetry: When there is a noticeable imbalance between the left and right sides of the jaw.

Tongue Reduction Surgery“ is not a standard medical term or a commonly recognized procedure. However, I can speculate on what you might be referring to based on other medical practices and treatments. If someone has a medical condition where their tongue is abnormally large (macroglossia), there are certain surgical procedures available to address this issue. However, these procedures are not typically referred to as ”Tongue Reduction Surgery." In cases of macroglossia, the surgery may involve removing excess tissue from the tongue or reshaping it to reduce its size. The goal is usually to improve the person's ability to speak, breathe, and swallow comfortably. It's essential to understand that any surgical procedure involving the tongue can be complex and carries certain risks. Before considering such surgery, individuals should undergo a thorough evaluation by an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon or a specialized ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor. As medical information may have evolved beyond my last update, I recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional for the most up-to-date and accurate information on this topic.

I'm not a medical professional, but I can try to provide some general information about tongue tumor surgery. Keep in mind that you should always consult with a qualified healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance. Tongue tumor surgery is a medical procedure performed to remove tumors or growths that develop in the tongue. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The type of surgery and its extent depend on the size, location, and nature of the tumor. There are several surgical approaches that may be used for tongue tumor removal: Local Excision: For small, superficial tumors, the surgeon may remove the tumor along with a small margin of healthy tissue. Glossectomy: This involves removing a part of the tongue that contains the tumor. The extent of the glossectomy will depend on the tumor's size and location. Partial Glossectomy: Only a portion of the tongue is removed, preserving as much of the tongue as possible. Hemiglossectomy: Half of the tongue is removed. Total Glossectomy: The entire tongue is removed. This procedure may be necessary for extensive tumors or advanced cancer cases. In such cases, reconstructive surgery may be required to restore some function and appearance. Neck Dissection: If there is concern that the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, the surgeon may perform a neck dissection to remove those lymph nodes. Following tongue tumor surgery, the patient may experience some difficulties with speech, swallowing, and taste. Speech therapy and rehabilitation are often recommended to aid in the recovery process and help patients adapt to any changes. For Appointment Call Our Clinic today!

A frenum is a small band of muscle inside the mouth that attaches our lip muscles or tongue to the bone. The number and position of its attachment on gums may vary. When its attachment is very low or near to teeth, it hinders the movement of the lip and tongue. Few newborn babies have such frenum near the tongue which hinders their speech. In such cases, it is called Tongue-tie. In adults, it is usually seen near front teeth causing space between the teeth. Rarely even elderly individuals may also have it which hinders artificial teeth (denture) placement. Frenectomy is a small procedure to release the muscle of its attachment and allow free movement of tongue and lip. It is a routine clinical procedure that may or may not require stitches for faster healing. Kindly call or email for consultation and Call And make an appointment to meet our doctors.

If you are missing teeth in the upper jaw, you may be a candidate for dental implants. In order to place a dental implant in the upper jaw, however, there must be enough bone present to support it. If there is not enough bone, sinus lift surgery can be performed to add new bone and increase the height of the jawbone. Sinus lift surgery is needed when the maxillary sinus, which is located behind the cheekbone, has begun to expand and take up space where the tooth root used to be. This can happen as a result of natural aging or tooth loss. Sinus lift surgery adds new bone between the jawbone and the maxillary sinus. This new bone provides a foundation for dental implants, which can then be used to support artificial teeth. Sinus lift surgery is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed in the dentist's office. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area and you will not feel any pain during the surgery. The surgeon will make a small incision in the gum tissue and then lift it away from the jawbone. A small amount of bone will be added to the area and the incision will be closed with stitches. After sinus lift surgery, you will need to take it easy for a few days while you recover. You may experience some swelling and bruising of the face. There are two types of sinus lift surgery: direct and indirect. Direct Sinus Lift Surgery The direct sinus lift surgery is performed when there is enough bone between the sinus and the tooth. During this type of surgery, an opening is made in the gum tissue so that the bone can be accessed. A hole is then drilled into the bone Indirect Sinus Lift Surgery The indirect sinus lift surgery is performed when there is not enough bone between the sinus and the tooth. During this type of surgery, an opening is made in the gum tissue so that the bone can be accessed. A small trough is then made in the bone and a piece of bone graft material is placed into the trough. Once the graft material is in place, a dental implant is placed. For Consultation Call Now!

Facial paralysis surgery, also known as facial reanimation surgery, is a medical procedure aimed at restoring movement and function to the muscles of the face that have been affected by paralysis. Facial paralysis can be caused by various factors, including nerve damage, trauma, infections, tumors, or neurological conditions. The specific surgical approach used depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the paralysis. There are several surgical techniques available, and a skilled surgeon will tailor the procedure to the individual patient's needs. Some common surgical options include: Nerve Repair/Transfer: This involves repairing or transferring nerves to restore communication between the brain and facial muscles. The surgeon may take a healthy nerve from another part of the body and connect it to the paralyzed facial nerve to bypass the damaged area. Muscle Transfer: In this procedure, muscles from other parts of the body are moved to the face to replace or support the paralyzed facial muscles. The transplanted muscle may be taken from the thigh, abdomen, or other locations where its function is not critical. Gracilis Muscle Transfer: The gracilis muscle, which is one of the muscles responsible for bending the knee, can be used to recreate a smile. This procedure is often referred to as “smile surgery” and is suitable for some cases of facial paralysis. Cross-Facial Nerve Graft: This technique involves using a nerve from the non-paralyzed side of the face to provide input to the paralyzed side. Over time, the nerve fibers may grow and restore some facial movement. Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections: While not a surgical procedure, Botox injections can be used to weaken certain overactive facial muscles and provide a more balanced facial appearance.
