Conditions We Treat

Odontogenic Cysts

Radicular cysts, dentigerous cysts, and other cysts arising from tooth development processes that can cause jaw swelling and bone destruction.

Non-Odontogenic Cysts

Nasopalatine duct cysts, nasolabial cysts, and other developmental cysts not related to tooth formation but affecting facial structures.

Benign Tumors

Ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocyst, and other non-cancerous growths that require surgical removal and reconstruction.

Malignant Tumors And Oral Cancer

Early detection and comprehensive treatment of jaw cancers with coordinated oncology care and reconstruction.

Reconstruction

Restoration of form and function using bone grafts, advanced techniques, and implant-supported rehabilitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, most jaw growths and cysts are benign (non-cancerous). However, proper diagnosis is essential as some can be aggressive or potentially malignant. Early evaluation ensures appropriate treatment.
Diagnosis typically involves clinical examination, radiographic imaging (X-rays, CT scans), and often a biopsy for histopathological examination to determine the exact nature of the lesion.
We use minimally invasive approaches and advanced reconstruction techniques to minimize aesthetic impact. Most procedures preserve facial appearance, with reconstruction when needed.
Recovery varies by procedure complexity. Simple cyst removal may heal in 1-2 weeks, while complex tumor resections with reconstruction may require 6-12 weeks for full recovery.
