Major Maxillofacial Surgeries Performed
Trauma Care
Trauma to the head, face, and neck region often requires surgical intervention to reconstruct normal anatomy and restore both appearance and function. These specialized surgeries are performed by our Chief Surgeon, Dr. Segin Chandran, at Kamala Dental as well as at leading trauma centres in Thiruvananthapuram, including SP Medifort, PRS Hospital, and GG Hospital. Following surgical care, our prosthodontic team provides prosthetic rehabilitation, focusing on restoring teeth and associated structures to help patients regain confidence and quality of life.
Orthognathic (Corrective Jaw) Surgeries
Some individuals may experience irregularly placed teeth, bite issues, Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) problems, or even sleep apnea due to underlying skeletal deformities. At Kamala Dental, our maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontists work together to carefully assess each case through detailed feasibility studies and create a personalized treatment plan. The procedure involves modifying and realigning the jawbone to correct the deformity, followed by orthodontic treatment to fine-tune the alignment. This combined approach ensures long-lasting, stable results that improve both function and appearance for life.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Procedures
The normal function of the temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) can be affected by various conditions, leading to clinical symptoms such as painful or restricted mouth opening, clicking sounds, or habitual dislocation of the joint. At Kamala Dental, these disorders are accurately diagnosed using advanced diagnostic aids and managed through conservative or surgical methods. In severe cases such as ankylosis, surgery becomes essential, involving the removal of fused segments and reconstruction of the joint to restore function.
Cleft Lip & Palate Repair
Cleft lip and cleft palate are considered to be the second most common congenital deformities among the Indian population. The correction of these conditions in children or untreated adults is not only a cosmetic restoration but also a necessary procedure to close the cleft defect and restore normal function, thus allowing the facial structures to develop normally. We have a dedicated team of surgeons providing the best treatment possible with a multi-disciplinary approach. Our team includes a Maxillofacial Surgeon, Orthodontists, Pedodontist, an Otolaryngologist, an Auditory and Hearing Specialist, a Paediatrician, a Plastic Surgeon and a Psychologist along with social workers.
Head & Neck Cancer Surgery
At Kamala Dental, routine screening for oral cancer and precancerous conditions is carried out with utmost care. When suspicious lesions are detected, biopsy and histopathological examination provide the most accurate means of diagnosis. Treatments for cancerous conditions may involve surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy, depending on the case. Resective and reconstructive surgeries of the head and neck are performed with advanced digital protocols, ensuring the highest level of precision and sophistication.
Full mouth implant supported dentures
Full mouth implants are an advanced dental solution designed to replace all missing or damaged teeth in the upper and/or lower jaws using dental implants. Instead of individual implants for each tooth, a few strategically placed implants support a full arch of artificial teeth, offering excellent stability and function. This treatment restores natural chewing ability, enhances facial appearance, and provides a long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures. Full mouth implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, helping patients regain confidence in their smile while preserving bone health and preventing further jawbone loss.
