    Dr. Lokesh Implants And Dentistry Clinic For The Comprehensive Management Of Jawbone Fractures

    The jawbone is an essential component of the face which handles the movement while talking or eating. When a fracture breaks this critical structure, it not only breaks the bone but also the major functionality of a person. Dr. Lokesh implants and dentistry clinic provides a modernised approach to treating this issue with efficient technology. The treatment of jaw bone fractures in HSR Layout, Bangalore includes restoring the proper dental occlusion, reestablishing facial aesthetics and ensuring normal jaw function. Our main goal is to return the patient to their daily life with a smile that works. 

    Evaluation and diagnosis

    First, in the clinical examination, the key indicators for a jawbone fracture include pain, swelling, jaw deviation and most importantly, malocclusion. 

    In the diagnosis procedure, the proper 3D CT scans will be performed to determine the root cause and the key areas of fracture in the jaw. We also offer Panorex imaging, which is excellent for detecting and identifying the entire U-shaped mandible.

    The treatment approaches

    At Dr. Lokesh Implants and dentistry clinic, you will be offered various options for the treatment of jawbone fractures in HSR Layout, Bangalore. The management of this issue is generally divided into two categories

    This is a closed reduction method which involves aligning the teeth in their proper position and fixing the jaw closed using the MMF technique.

    It is an open reduction and internal fixation technique which surgically exposes the fracture to align and rigidly fix the segments. 

    Importance of choosing professionals for proper management

    It is important to choose a professional for the proper treatment of the jaws. This is because an unprofessionally treated jaw is prone to various post-operative symptoms like certain infections, which could even lead to plate removal, poor bite and numbness of the lower lip. Dr. Lokesh Implants And Dentistry Clinic makes sure to provide you with the most efficient treatment according to your condition and post-operative care to eliminate any of the bad symptoms from occurring. We ensure that you are able to live a happy and confident life.

We combine accurate diagnosis with individualised treatment, whether through surgical or non-surgical methods.

    How long does a broken jaw take to heal?

    When treated, most of the jaw fractures professionally take between 4 and 8 weeks for the bone to heal to a satisfactory extent. However, full recovery can take up to months.

    You should strictly follow only a liquid or very soft diet, or blend all food smoothly. It is essential to avoid chewing for several weeks.

    You must use antiseptic mouth rinses and a water flosser to maintain oral hygiene.

    Our surgeons are experts in providing the least invasive and most proficient surgery. In most cases, after the full recovery, you will be left with no scar or a minimal scar.

    Not necessarily, wiring  the jaw is a common treatment, but now there are surgical methods for it that allow a little jaw movement during healing.
