Is it right for you

Who it suits.

Your first visit answers this properly, with an examination and, where needed, a scan, before you commit to anything.

Usually suits you if

  • Facial injuries or suspected jaw fractures after a fall, accident or sports injury
  • A swelling, cyst or growth in the jaw found on an X-ray or noticed in the mouth
  • Jaw joint pain, clicking, locking or difficulty opening the mouth
  • Complex extractions, impacted teeth or bone problems that need a surgeon

Tell us first if

  • You take blood thinners, diabetes medicines or have a heart condition
  • You have had radiotherapy to the head or neck, or take bone medicines such as bisphosphonates
  • You are pregnant or may be pregnant
  • You have had a recent head injury with loss of consciousness, vomiting or confusion, which needs a hospital emergency team first

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

What does a maxillofacial surgeon treat?

A maxillofacial surgeon treats conditions of the jaws, face and mouth, including jaw fractures, facial injuries, jaw cysts and growths, jaw joint problems and difficult extractions. Dr Sai Santosh also plans jaw and facial correction surgery.

Is every surgery done at the clinic?

No. Smaller procedures are done under local anaesthesia in our minor operation theatre. Surgeries that need general anaesthesia or an overnight stay are planned in a hospital setting.

Will a cyst or growth be tested?

Usually, yes. Tissue removed from the jaw is often sent to a laboratory so the diagnosis is confirmed before further treatment is decided.

How long is recovery?

It varies with the surgery. Minor procedures often need a few days of rest, while fracture repair or larger surgery can take several weeks to settle.
