Oral Surgery

Dentoalveolar surgery focuses on procedures involving the teeth and the surrounding bone (alveolar bone). It's a specialised branch of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and the procedures address a variety of issues in this area. Here's a quick overview of the main types:
Dental extractions: Surgical removal of wisdom, impacted, and diseased teeth
Orthodontic exposures: To allow mispositioned teeth to be brought into the dental arch
Alveoloplasty: Surgical contouring of the jaw bones to allow placement of implants and dentures
Dental implants have revolutionised dental rehabilitation. From their initial introduction, they have undergone continuous advancements and increased their applications for the reconstruction of facial structures such as prosthetic noses, ears, and eyes. 
Dr Saha uses the latest advances in digital planning and bone grafting and the use of zygomatic and craniofacial implants to reconstruct the dentition and facial defects lost due to trauma or cancer. 
In cases of inadequate bone for implants, bone substitutes can be grafted in the majority of cases. However in larger defects, Dr Saha will discuss the options of grafting bone from the hip, tibia (leg bone), skull, and areas from around the jaws to be able to provide the most ideal result

Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery is a procedure that corrects misaligned jaws and improves the bite, appearance, and breathing of patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.
Dr Saha uses state-of-the-art digital technology to plan the optimal surgical movements for each patient’s unique case.
The surgery takes place in a hospital setting and most patients can return home within a day or two after the operation.
Dr Saha collaborates with your orthodontist to ensure the best possible outcome for your treatment.

Temporomandibular Joint

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause difficulties in chewing, speaking, and breathing. These disorders can also cause pain, stiffness, and reduced jaw movement.
Dr Saha treats TMJ disorders with a multidisciplinary approach. He works closely with oral medicine specialists, physiotherapists, and dentists to provide you with the best possible care. He aims to avoid surgery whenever possible and use conservative treatments such as medication, splints, and exercises.
However, if your condition is severe and requires surgery, Dr Saha can offer you the latest and most advanced options. He can perform endoscopic procedures that allow him to fix complex problems with minimal invasion. He can also provide you with custom-made 3D-printed implants for total joint replacement, which are designed to fit your anatomy and function perfectly.

Pathology

The head and neck region has special tissues that can develop uncommon diseases of the bones and soft tissues.
These include odontogenic (originating from the cells that form teeth) and non-odontogenic lesions of the bone and soft tissue that require expert oral and maxillofacial surgeons for diagnosis and treatment.
Apart from the jaws, the submandibular and sublingual glands can also have problems such as stones, narrowings, and cysts that Dr Saha will guide you through their diagnosis and treatment.
