Overview
Precision surgery, planned for your comfort
Some teeth, particularly impacted wisdom teeth, cannot be saved or simply do not have room to emerge properly. When extraction is the right choice, careful planning makes all the difference between a stressful experience and a smooth one.
We use 3D imaging to map the position of roots and nearby nerves before any procedure. This allows us to remove teeth efficiently while protecting the surrounding bone, gums and nerves, and it helps us explain exactly what will happen before you agree to treatment. Seeing your own scans often makes the plan much easier to understand, and you are always welcome to ask questions.
Every surgical procedure is carried out under profound local anaesthesia in our sterile treatment rooms, so you remain comfortable throughout. We follow ADA and ISO infection-control protocols, sterilise instruments in Class-B autoclaves and use disposable barriers for every patient.
We only recommend removing a tooth or treating tissue surgically when there is a clear clinical reason, and your dentist will talk you through any alternatives before a decision is made. Our portable digital X-ray unit lets us check the tooth and roots at the chair, before and during treatment.
Is it right for you?
Signs you may need oral surgery
Only an examination and imaging can confirm whether surgery is needed. These are some common reasons patients in Amritsar come to us for an assessment.
- Pain or swelling at the back of the mouthRecurring soreness, swollen gums or a bad taste behind your last molars can point to a wisdom tooth that is trapped or only partly through the gum.
- A tooth that is badly broken or decayedWhen a tooth has broken down below the gum line or is too damaged to restore with a filling, root canal or crown, removal may be the safest option.
- Crowding or pressure from wisdom teethWisdom teeth that grow at an angle can push against neighbouring teeth, trap food and make cleaning difficult, even when they do not hurt.
- A lump, cyst or patch that does not healAny swelling, ulcer or unusual patch in the mouth that lasts more than two weeks should be checked by a dentist without delay.
- Planning for implants or denturesIf you are preparing for implants or dentures, the bone and gum may need grafting or gentle reshaping first so the new teeth fit and function well.
- A tight lip or tongue tieA short band of tissue under the tongue or lip can affect speech, feeding or gum health, and can often be released with a quick procedure.
Treatment options
Comprehensive oral surgery care
Our surgical services cover routine and more involved procedures. Each is planned around your scans, your health history and your comfort.
Wisdom tooth removal
Planned extraction of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth, using 3D imaging to avoid nerves and minimise recovery time. Where only some wisdom teeth are causing trouble, we explain which ones need attention and why.
Surgical extractions
Safe removal of broken-down, severely decayed or fractured teeth that cannot be restored. Techniques are chosen to protect the surrounding bone, which matters if you plan to replace the tooth later.
Bone grafting
Preserving and rebuilding jawbone after extraction to keep future implant options open. Grafting can help maintain the shape of the ridge while the area heals.
Cyst and lesion removal
Careful removal of cysts and benign lesions, with tissue sent for evaluation when needed. We explain the findings and any follow-up once results are available.
Pre-prosthetic surgery
Reshaping bone and gum tissue to prepare the mouth for comfortable, well-fitting dentures. Smoothing sharp edges or ridges can make a real difference to day-to-day comfort.
Frenectomy
A quick procedure to release a tight lip or tongue tie that affects speech, feeding or gum health. Where suitable, soft-tissue lasers may be used for a gentle approach.

Aftercare
Caring for yourself after surgery
Most people heal smoothly when they follow a few simple steps, especially in the first 24 hours. Your written instructions will be tailored to your procedure.
Protect the clot
Bite gently on the gauze provided and avoid rinsing or spitting on the first day, and avoid using a straw for the first few days. The blood clot that forms is an important part of healing.
Manage swelling
Cold compresses on the cheek, used on and off for the first day, can ease swelling. Take only the medication your dentist has advised, exactly as directed.
Eat soft, cool foods
Choose soft foods such as curd, khichdi or soup that is not too hot, and chew on the other side. Return to your normal diet gradually as comfort allows.
Keep the mouth clean
Brush your other teeth as usual, taking care around the area. From the next day, gentle warm salt-water rinses are often recommended.
Avoid smoking and alcohol
Smoking and alcohol can slow healing and increase the risk of complications, so it is best to avoid them for as long as your dentist advises.
Know when to call us
Contact us if you have heavy bleeding, worsening pain after a few days, fever or swelling that keeps increasing. For severe symptoms, seek emergency care.
