Oral Surgery also known as
Oral & Maxilofacial Surgery
Oral & Maxilofacial Surgeons specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of any disease affecting the mouth, jaws, face and neck
What Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is the surgical specialty that deals with conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, skull base and associated structures. OMS specialists complete both dental and medical surgical training — giving them a uniquely broad competency across the hard and soft tissues of the face and jaw.
At Toothway Dental in Gachibowli, our two OMS consultants bring different specialist focuses to the practice. Dr. Sudeep Upadhyay specialises in facial trauma, jaw reconstruction and head and neck surgical conditions. Dr. B. Neeharika brings expertise in facial aesthetics, cysts, oral cancers and maxillofacial oncology-adjacent procedures.
Together, they give Toothway the ability to manage a comprehensive range of oral surgical cases that would otherwise require hospital referral — reducing waiting times, keeping care within a familiar environment, and ensuring continuity between surgical and dental treatment.
Oral Surgical Services Available at Toothway Dental, Gachibowli
Wisdom Tooth Removal — Simple & Surgical
Wisdom tooth removal is the most commonly performed oral surgical procedure at Toothway Dental. Both straightforward extractions of fully erupted teeth and complex surgical removal of impacted, angled or buried wisdom teeth are managed by our OMS specialists — with CBCT 3D imaging for cases involving proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve.
Jaw Corrective Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
Jaw corrective surgery — also called orthognathic surgery — repositions the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both to correct severe skeletal discrepancies that cannot be resolved with orthodontics alone.
Candidates include patients with significant underbite, overbite, open bite or facial asymmetry caused by jaw misalignment rather than just tooth position. At Toothway Dental, orthognathic cases are planned in close collaboration with our orthodontic specialist — orthodontic treatment precedes and follows surgery to optimise both function and facial aesthetics.
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia at a partner hospital. Pre-operative planning, consultation and post-operative review are managed at Toothway Dental in Gachibowli.
Facial Trauma Management
Facial injuries — including fractured jaw, broken cheekbone, orbital fractures and soft tissue lacerations involving the face and mouth — require specialist OMS management for both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Dr. Sudeep Upadhyay has specific expertise in facial trauma and jaw reconstruction. Toothway Dental manages the surgical assessment, planning and follow-up for facial trauma cases, working alongside the appropriate hospital setting where inpatient care is required.
Cysts, Benign Tumours and Oral Pathology
Dental cysts and benign tumours of the jaw and oral soft tissues are managed surgically at Toothway Dental. Common conditions treated include:
- Dentigerous cysts (associated with unerupted teeth)
- Radicular cysts (arising from infected tooth roots)
- Odontogenic keratocysts
- Fibrous epulis and other benign gingival growths
- Mucocoeles and ranulas (salivary gland swellings)
Early diagnosis and surgical removal prevent the progressive bone destruction that untreated cysts cause. All excised tissue is sent for histopathological examination as standard practice. Dr. B. Neeharika’s oncology-adjacent expertise ensures appropriate management of any lesions requiring further investigation.
Frenectomy — Lip Tie and Tongue Tie Release
A frenectomy is the surgical release or removal of a frenum — the band of soft tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the gum or floor of the mouth.
It is indicated when:
- A tight lingual frenum restricts tongue movement (tongue-tie / ankyloglossia), affecting speech, feeding in infants, or oral hygiene
- A prominent labial frenum creates a gap between upper central incisors (diastema) or pulls on the gum margin causing recession
Frenectomy at Toothway Dental is a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthesia. Laser frenectomy is available for appropriate cases — faster healing, no sutures, minimal discomfort.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery — Preparing for Implants or Dentures
Pre-prosthetic surgery prepares the oral tissues for an implant, denture or other prosthetic restoration. Procedures include:
- Alveoloplasty — reshaping irregular or sharp bone ridges before denture fitting
- Torus removal — surgical removal of bony growths on the palate or mandible that interfere with denture placement
- Soft tissue recontouring — reshaping the gum and soft tissue for optimal denture stability and aesthetics
- Bone grafting before implant placement — rebuilding bone volume before implant placement
Facial Aesthetics — Botox & Dermal Fillers
Toothway Dental offers facial aesthetic treatments administered by Dr. B. Neeharika — an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with specialist training in facial aesthetics. OMS-delivered facial aesthetics are medical procedures, not salon treatments — delivering the highest standard of anatomical precision and patient safety.
Treatments available:
- Botox (botulinum toxin) — forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, jaw slimming (masseter reduction), teeth-grinding (bruxism) management
- Dermal fillers — lip augmentation, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheek volume restoration
Facial aesthetics at Toothway is particularly well-suited to patients combining cosmetic dental treatment — Invisalign, veneers, whitening — with facial rejuvenation for a complete smile and facial transformation.
What to Expect from Your Oral Surgical Consultation at Toothway Dental

Your OMS specialist conducts a clinical examination of the area of concern. Relevant imaging — dental X-rays, CBCT scan or OPG — is reviewed. Your medical history, current medications and surgical risk factors are assessed.
Diagnosis & Options
You receive a clear explanation of the diagnosis and your surgical options. The recommended procedure, expected outcome, recovery time and cost are explained in plain language — no jargon, no pressure.
Pre-Operative Instructions
Before surgery you receive specific instructions: fasting requirements if applicable, medications to pause or continue, what to bring, what to arrange for your recovery, and who to contact with any concerns.
Surgery
Performed under advanced local anaesthesia at Toothway Dental for most procedures. Nitrous Oxide sedation is available for anxious patients. Procedures requiring general anaesthesia are performed at a partner hospital with full post-operative follow-up at Toothway.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Post-operative instructions are provided in writing after every surgical procedure. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to assess healing, remove sutures where applicable and address any concerns.
