Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

About Our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Department

When the problem isn't "just a tooth" — a complicated wisdom tooth, a misaligned jaw making it hard to chew or sleep, a child born with cleft lip and palate, a face fractured in an accident, or an unusual lump in the mouth — you need a surgeon trained in the full anatomy of the jaw, mouth, and face. The Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Department at THANC Hospital in Kilpauk, Chennai is led by Prof. Dr. M. Veerabahu (30+ years experience, Former President of AOMSI — the national association of OMFS surgeons), and is one of the most comprehensive maxillofacial units in South India. We see patients for impacted wisdom tooth removal under sedation, dental implants from single tooth to full-mouth (All-on-4, All-on-6) including zygomatic, pterygoid, and basal implants when there's severe bone loss, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic) for bite and facial alignment, cleft lip and palate repair from infancy to adulthood, jaw cysts and tumours (ameloblastoma, OKC, mandibulectomy with reconstruction), TMJ joint disorders including total joint replacement, facial fracture repair after road accidents, oral cancer screening and surgery, and jaw surgery for sleep apnea (maxillomandibular advancement).

Every case is planned with 3D facial imaging — so the surgical outcome is predictable, and the cosmetic result follows the function. Where rehabilitation is needed, we work alongside our in-house ENT, dental, speech therapy, and orthodontics teams under one roof. Cleft children get continuity of care from primary lip repair as infants through to adult orthognathic correction — same team, same surgeon, lifelong relationship. For severe bone loss where standard implants fail, our zygomatic and pterygoid implant programme means you don't need long bone-grafting surgery before getting a fixed set of teeth. Please consult our team if you have an impacted wisdom tooth causing pain or recurrent infection, a face or jaw fracture after injury, jaw clicking or locking, missing teeth that ordinary dentists couldn't restore, a child or relative with cleft lip/palate, or a non-healing mouth ulcer or oral mass that needs evaluation. Located in central Chennai with easy access from across Tamil Nadu, we offer dependable, transparent, and affordable oral and maxillofacial surgery — all under one roof.
