Surgery in Ahmedabad
Advanced Diagnosis and Precision Removal at Sanghvi Face & Dental Hospital
Discovering a lump, swelling, or an unusual shadow on a dental X-ray can be concerning. Whether it is a slow-growing jaw cyst or a complex benign tumour, early diagnosis and expert surgical intervention are key to preserving your facial structure and oral function.
At Sanghvi Face & Dental Hospital in Naranpura, Dr. Darshan Sanghvi (MDS) provides specialized maxillofacial surgical care for the removal of cysts and tumors of the jaws and soft tissues.
What are Maxillofacial Cysts and Tumors?
Cysts and tumors in the facial region can develop within the jawbones or the soft tissues (like the gums and cheeks). Most are benign (non-cancerous), but they can be aggressive, causing bone destruction and shifting your teeth.
Common Jaw Cysts
- Radicular Cyst: Often caused by an untreated infected tooth.
- Dentigerous Cyst: Forms around the crown of an unerupted tooth (usually a wisdom tooth).
- Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC): A fast-growing cyst that requires specialized surgical care to prevent recurrence.
Jaw Tumors
- Ameloblastoma: A benign but aggressive tumor that typically starts near the molars.
- Odontoma: A common tumor made of dental tissue that can interfere with tooth eruption.
- Fibromas & Lipomas: Benign soft tissue growths in the mouth or cheeks.

FAQs(Maxillofacial Cyst and Tumor Treatment )
Many cysts are “silent” and are only discovered during a routine dental X-ray. However, symptoms can include unexplained jaw swelling, moving teeth, or a dull ache in a specific area of the jaw.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, meaning you will be completely comfortable. Post-operative pain is managed with a customized medication plan.
Some types, like the Odontogenic Keratocyte (OKC), have a higher risk of recurrence. This is why it is vital to have the surgery performed by a Maxillofacial Surgeon who understands the specific pathology.
