Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
OMFS- a speciality to treat diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws
and hard and soft parts of the oral cavity. Surgical intervention forms the crux of this
branch.
Oral Medicine – Diagnosis and Radiology
The basic and the first step in a dental clinic, OMDR specialists performs the
radiographic procedures, procures the biopsy sample, establishes the diagnosis, designs
the treatment plan and keeps the diseases in check via medicines.
Orthodontics Dentistry
Orthodontics deals with correcting the haphazard teeth arrangement and/ or ill-placed
jaws by getting them in an ideal position via application of forces from the adjoining
bones. The ultimate goal of an ideal teeth and jaw
arrangement is the “perfect bite”.
Paediatric Dentistry

teeth and growing bones and tissues requires special care and treatment. Paediatric
Dentistry also encompasses Preventive Dentistry wherein
common diseases are prevented by indulging in different treatment modalities.
Periodontics Dentistry
Gum Specialists is an understatement since Periodontists deal with everything that
neighbours around the tooth. The gums and the bones housing the teeth are majorly taken
care of. Simple oral hygiene is a target first in line
that periodontists take care of.
Prosthetic Dentistry
Prosthodontists keep an aim of replacing the lost structure- teeth and the jaws- also the
structures adjacent to the mouth. They have procedures, tools and methods to custom
create anything and everything.
Restorative Dentistry
By cleaning and filling in the cavities, Dentists try to preserve the natural tooth
structure and function. Options ranging from Gold to silver to tooth-coloured materials
are available.
Endodontics
Endodontics quite literally goes inside the tooth and treats it from the root upwards.
Normalcy is achieved once the “root cause” of the disease is diagnosed and treated.
