Black fungus & oral cancer rehabilitation in Vijayawada

Rehabilitation after black fungus (mucormycosis) or oral cancer helps restore teeth, chewing, speech and facial support once the disease has been treated and your medical team agrees it is time. At GIA Clinics in Vijayawada, it is planned by Dr Sai Santosh, our oral and cranio-maxillofacial surgeon, at our Gunadala and Gurunanak Colony clinics, in coordination with your oncologist or physician.

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

  • Missing teeth or jawbone after surgery for black fungus
  • Difficulty chewing, speaking or swallowing after oral cancer treatment
  • An opening between the mouth and nose or sinus after surgery
  • People whose doctors have cleared them for dental rehabilitation

Tell us first if

  • Radiation to the head and neck, and when it was given
  • Diabetes, steroid use or other conditions that affect healing
  • Ongoing chemotherapy or recent surgery
  • Your oncologist's or physician's details and latest reports

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

Do you treat black fungus or oral cancer itself?

Active disease is treated by your hospital team. We focus on restoring teeth, chewing and speech once your doctors agree you are ready.

When can rehabilitation start?

It depends on your healing, any radiation and your doctors' advice. Some temporary help, such as an obturator, may be possible early on.

Are implants possible after jaw surgery?

Sometimes, depending on the bone, healing and any radiation. Specialised implants may be an option in selected cases after careful assessment.

Why do you need my medical reports?

Your history affects which treatments are safe and when. Sharing reports helps us coordinate with your oncologist or physician.
