BOOK APPOINTMENTAbout the Department
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at Nano Hospitals focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and related structures. This specialty bridges dentistry and medical surgery, managing both functional and facial concerns.
Problems in this area may arise from impacted teeth, facial injuries, jaw misalignment, infections, tumors, or congenital deformities. These conditions can affect chewing, speaking, breathing, and facial appearance. At Nano Hospitals, care is directed toward restoring oral function, relieving pain, correcting structural problems, and improving facial balance.
Treatment follows a patient-centred approach using detailed imaging, surgical planning, anesthesia expertise, and post-operative rehabilitation. Care plans are individualised based on age, severity, and functional needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is wisdom tooth extraction always a Surgical Procedure? +
Not all wisdom tooth extractions require complex surgery. Fully erupted wisdom teeth can often be removed via simple dental extraction. However, impacted, mesioangular, or bone-encased third molars require minor oral surgery performed by experienced maxillofacial surgeons at Nano Hospitals Bangalore to safely access and extract the tooth without nerve damage.
Are Jaw Surgeries (Orthognathic Procedures) safe, and how are risks minimized? +
Yes, Jaw Surgeries (Orthognathic Surgery) are safe and routine when performed by board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons using modern techniques. At Nano Hospitals Bangalore, surgical risks are minimized through 3D virtual surgical planning, high-resolution CBCT imaging, precise piezoelectric instrumentation, and continuous intraoperative monitoring.
Is recovery after maxillofacial and jaw surgery painful, and how is pain managed? +
Post-operative pain after jaw surgery is typically mild to moderate and effectively controlled with prescribed analgesics and anti-inflammatory medications. Patients experience temporary facial swelling and tightness for 3 to 7 days. Maxillofacial specialists at Nano Hospitals Bangalore provide comprehensive post-surgical care, swelling control, and dietary recovery protocols.
Does Oral and Maxillofacial surgery require inpatient hospital admission? +
Inpatient admission depends on the complexity of the maxillofacial procedure. Minor surgeries—such as wisdom tooth extractions, cyst enucleations, and dental implants—are routinely performed as day-care procedures. Complex orthognathic jaw corrections, facial trauma reconstructions, and tumor resections at Nano Hospitals Bangalore require 1 to 3 days of inpatient monitoring.
