Dental Surgery

The Department of Dental Surgery at Sri Ganga Emergency and Multispeciality Hospital offers a comprehensive array of dental services, focusing on both preventive care and complex surgical interventions. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by skilled dental professionals who are experts in various sub-disciplines of dental surgery. This integration of expertise and advanced technology ensures that patients receive the highest standard of dental care.

General Dental Care: The department provides routine dental care services, including dental check-ups, teeth cleaning, cavity fillings, and treatment of gum diseases. These services are fundamental in maintaining oral health and preventing the progression of dental issues.

Cosmetic Dentistry: This includes a range of procedures designed to improve the appearance of the teeth and mouth, such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers. These treatments help enhance aesthetics and boost patient confidence.

Orthodontics: Treatment for correcting irregularities of the teeth and jaw, including braces and clear aligners. Orthodontic services are available for both children and adults, focusing on improving functional bite and cosmetic appearance.

Endodontics: Specialized care for the treatment of dental pulp and root issues, primarily through procedures like root canal therapy. This is crucial for preserving teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted due to infection or decay.

Periodontics: Treatment of gum diseases and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. This includes deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), gum graft surgery, and laser treatment for gum disease.

Prosthodontics: This involves the restoration and replacement of teeth using crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants, enhancing functionality and appearance following tooth loss.

Common Surgeries in Dental Surgery

Dental Implants: A surgical procedure to replace missing teeth with artificial structures anchored into the jawbone. Dental implants provide a durable, permanent solution for tooth loss.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction: The removal of one or more wisdom teeth due to impaction, overcrowding, or infection. This is one of the most common dental surgeries.

Apicoectomy: A type of endodontic surgery that involves the removal of the tip of a tooth’s root to treat an infection that has spread beyond the root canal or persists after root canal therapy.

Bone Grafts: Often performed to augment the jawbone in preparation for dental implants, particularly if the patient has experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease or tooth extraction.

Gingivectomy: Surgical removal of gum tissue, typically for patients suffering from severe gum disease or to improve the aesthetics of a “gummy” smile.

Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): Performed to correct a range of minor and major skeletal and dental irregularities, including the misalignment of jaws and teeth. This surgery can improve chewing, speaking, and breathing.
