Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Approach
Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers conditions affecting the jaws, mouth, facial bones, and surrounding tissues. Treatment may range from relatively limited dental surgery to major reconstructive procedures depending on the diagnosis.
Dr. Rao’s practice includes management of facial fractures, jaw abnormalities, oral tumors, and complex dental implant cases. Facial trauma may require careful assessment of bone position, bite alignment, nerves, teeth, and surrounding soft tissues before reconstruction is planned.
His work in dental implantology includes replacing missing teeth using implant-supported restorations. Treatment suitability depends on gum health, available bone, medical history, and the condition of adjacent teeth.
