No. Wisdom tooth removal is performed under local anesthesia — you won’t feel pain during the procedure, only pressure. For impacted wisdom teeth, surgical extraction is needed (opening the gum and removing bone to access the tooth). Post-operative soreness for 3-5 days is normal and well-managed with prescribed pain relievers. Our painless injection technology ensures even the anesthesia delivery is comfortable.

Recovery depends on the procedure: Simple extractions heal in 3-7 days. Surgical extractions (impacted wisdom teeth) take 5-10 days. Facial trauma surgery takes 2-4 weeks. Swelling peaks at 48 hours and subsides over 5-7 days. Sutures are removed (or dissolve) at 7-10 days. Complete bone healing takes 3-6 months but normal function returns much sooner. Following post-op instructions speeds recovery.

See an oral surgeon if you have: impacted wisdom teeth, severe toothache from a damaged tooth, facial trauma (accident/injury), jaw pain or clicking, difficulty opening your mouth, a lump or swelling in the jaw, loose teeth from gum disease, a tooth broken below the gum line, or a failed root canal. If your general dentist recommends surgical extraction or refers you to a surgeon, Dr. Jagveer Singh Saluja — MDS Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — is available in-house at our clinic.

An impacted tooth is one that fails to fully erupt into its normal position because it’s blocked by bone, gum tissue, or other teeth. Wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted — they often lack space in the jaw and become stuck (horizontal, angled, or partially erupted). Impacted teeth can cause pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, cysts, and crowding. Treatment is surgical extraction using a CBCT scan for precise planning.

Yes — dental-specific facial trauma (fractured jaw, knocked-out teeth, dental avulsion, alveolar fractures) is best treated by an oral & maxillofacial surgeon at a dental clinic with surgical capability. Dr. Jagveer Singh Saluja is a maxillofacial trauma specialist with 16 years of experience. However, for severe polytrauma (multiple body injuries, head injury, life-threatening bleeding), go to a hospital ER first — then come to us for dental/jaw treatment.

Apicoectomy (root-end surgery) is a surgical procedure performed when a root canal treatment has failed and infection persists at the root tip. The surgeon makes a small incision in the gum near the tooth root, removes the infected root tip (2-3 mm), cleans the area, and seals the root canal from below. This saves the tooth from extraction when re-treating the root canal from the top isn’t possible. Recovery takes 5-7 days.

Yes — oral surgery is very safe when performed by a qualified MDS surgeon in a properly equipped clinic. At our NABH-accredited clinic, we follow hospital-grade surgical safety protocols: verified sterilization, trained surgical staff, emergency preparedness, proper monitoring equipment, and documented surgical procedures. Dr. Jagveer Singh Saluja’s 16 years of surgical experience and MDS qualification ensure procedures are performed to the highest safety standards.

Most oral surgery procedures are performed under local anesthesia — which is sufficient for extractions, wisdom teeth, and apicoectomies. General anesthesia or IV sedation is recommended for: complex facial trauma reconstruction, extensive jaw surgery, multiple extractions in one sitting, or for patients with severe dental anxiety. Dr. Saluja will discuss your options and recommend the safest, most comfortable approach based on your specific procedure and medical history.

Cost depends on the procedure: Simple extraction is the most affordable, surgical extraction/wisdom tooth is moderate, and maxillofacial surgery/trauma is higher.

Yes — CGHS/ECHS/ESI/UP Police empanelment covers many oral surgery procedures, especially those that are medically necessary (extractions due to decay/trauma, abscess drainage, cyst removal). Coverage is particularly relevant for facial trauma cases. Cosmetic procedures or elective surgeries may not be covered.
