About Our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Department

Our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Department at THANC Hospital, Kilpauk, Chennai, is one of the most thorough maxillofacial surgery units in South India. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. M. Veerabahu, our team handles everything from routine dentoalveolar surgery and dental implants to complex jaw reconstruction, cleft lip and palate repair, facial trauma management, and oral cancer surgery. Supported by advanced 3D imaging, digital surgical planning, and modern operating infrastructure, we ensure precise diagnosis, safe surgery, and excellent long-term outcomes.

When to Consult Our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Team

Early evaluation leads to better outcomes. Speak to our team if you notice any of these:

Facial injury or fractured jaw

Jaw and facial fractures need urgent, properly reduced fixation to protect bite, airway, and appearance.

Impacted wisdom teeth with pain or swelling

Impacted wisdom teeth causing infection, cysts, or pressure on adjacent teeth usually benefit from removal.

Jaw joint pain or locking (TMJ disorders)

Persistent TMJ pain, clicking, or restricted mouth opening needs structured evaluation — surgery is rarely the first step.

Oral cysts or tumours

Any jaw cyst or oral tumour needs imaging, biopsy, and a planned surgical approach.

Misaligned jaw causing bite or speech problems

Corrective jaw surgery can restore function and facial balance for severe bite discrepancies.

Missing teeth needing implant support

Complex implant cases involving bone grafting or sinus lift benefit from a maxillofacial surgical approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How urgent is a jaw fracture?
Jaw fractures need early assessment — ideally within 24–48 hours — to protect airway, bite, and healing. Delayed fixation makes treatment more complex and recovery longer.
Can all wisdom teeth be removed in a clinic setting?
Simple wisdom teeth can be removed with local anaesthesia in a clinic. Complex or deeply impacted teeth are safer in a hospital setting with monitored anaesthesia — THANC offers both.
What is orthognathic (jaw correction) surgery?
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe bite, chewing, and facial proportion issues caused by jaw size mismatch. It is planned jointly with orthodontic treatment and produces functional and aesthetic improvement.
Can you treat TMJ disorders without surgery?
Most TMJ disorders respond to structured conservative care — splints, physiotherapy, and stress management. Surgery is reserved for cases that fail conservative treatment or have clear structural damage.
Will THANC give me a written estimate for facial surgery?
Yes. After clinical review, imaging, and anaesthesia assessment, our team shares a written, itemised estimate. THANC's rates are consistently below prevailing Chennai market rates.
