Jaw Surgery (Cysts, Tumours & Corrective Surgery)

Surgery of the jaws covers two broad areas: removing disease — cysts and tumours that grow silently inside the jawbone — and correcting structure, when the upper and lower jaws don't match in size or position.

Jaw cysts and benign tumours are often discovered on a routine X-ray. Left alone they expand, weaken the bone and can damage teeth and nerves; removed early, the surgery is smaller and healing is faster. Dr. Pathak removes these lesions surgically, with reconstruction where needed, and follows up to confirm complete healing.

Corrective (orthognathic) surgery repositions one or both jaws to fix an underbite, overbite, gummy smile or facial asymmetry that braces alone cannot correct. Treatment is planned digitally on 3D scans, in partnership with your orthodontist, and incisions are placed entirely inside the mouth.
