Services includes :

• Wisdom Teeth Management
  Wisdom Teeth are the third and final set of molars located at the very back of the dental arches in the mouth. If Wisdom Teeth are healthy and are correctly aligned, they can be a valuable asset. Pressure on existing teeth results from Wisdom Teeth being misaligned and impacted, which is common and requires them to be removed. Wisdom Teeth Removal is the surgical procedure involved in treating misaligned and Impacted Wisdom Teeth.
• Dental Implant Surgery
  Dental Implant Surgery replaces missing or damaged teeth with biomechanically engineered titanium screws connected to prosthetic crowns. Implants are installed in the mouth to replace the tooth's root and may be connected to crowns immediately in patients who require immediate dental results. Implants may be left in sight for up to four months before connecting the final crowns. Confidence restoration and overall oral health improvement in patients with broken, damaged, or missing teeth are benefits of Dental Implant Surgery.
• Dental and Soft Tissue Surgery
  Dental and Soft Tissue Surgery treat infections, injuries, and defects that affect the teeth, bone, and soft tissue of the mouth. Extractions and repairs to infected or injured areas like the teeth and bones are standard procedures. In extreme cases where there is limited space for remaining teeth to grow or if there is tooth decay that has undergone excessive damage, Tooth Extractions will be performed. Soft tissue surgery is performed to restore injured, mispositioned, or deformed facial and oral soft tissue. Soft tissues grafts are performed when tissues in areas of the gum have receded, and the gum tissue is too thin, the tooth's roots are exposed, or there is evidence of periodontal disease. Soft Tissue Surgery involving grafts thickens and bolsters existing tissue and may prevent further gum recession, improve sensitivity in the affected area and cover an exposed root.
• Corrective Jaw Surgery
  Corrective Jaw Surgery is done to correct irregular jawbones by realigning jaws and teeth to improve their function. It may entail wearing braces before and after surgery to ensure full recovery and alignment. Jaw Surgery is necessary if skeletal disproportion is present, where Orthodontics cannot solely resolve the problems. Corrective Jaw Surgery corrects issues with facial form and appearance, occlusion, and temporomandibular joint function that impact patients' quality of life. Procedures correct facial imbalance creating facial harmony and function.
• TMJ and Facial Pain
  The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) allows for movement in the jaw. TMJ Disorders affect the jaw and present as varying degrees of pain in the face and mouth. Causes for TMJ are unknown, but medical professionals believe genetics and injury can lead to pain in the mouth joints. Arthritis can also impact TMJ. Damage to ligaments, muscles, or bone in the jaw caused by genetic factors, injury, or arthritis typically leads to TMJ disorders. Stress can cause facial pain due to constant jaw clenching. Treatment can include Jaw Surgery or Oral Surgery.
• Treatment of Facial Injury / Pain
  Severe trauma to the face requires surgical treatment from a Maxillofacial and Oral Surgeon like Dr Naidoo. Facial injuries can affect a patient's physical and emotional well-being, especially in cases of disfiguring. Injuries to the face can affect both the soft and hard tissue of the head, neck, mouth, and eyes. Dr Naidoo has the expertise to repair Facial Injuries and restore natural function to the face and mouth.
• Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
  Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is a medical condition where breathing is interrupted during sleep because there is a blockage in the airway passages. Interrupted breathing can limit oxygen supply to the brain and have severe side effects. Complications that result from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea include headaches, depression, high blood pressure, heart attack risk, and stroke risk. Nasal passage obstructions leading to this condition are commonly caused by allergies, sinus issues, or a deviated septum. Abnormalities can trigger Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in the jawbone, tongue, and tonsils. The condition can also be contributed to by diabetes, obesity, and genetics. Central Sleep Apnoea is where the brain cannot send signals to the muscles for breathing to occur. Complex Sleep Apnoea Syndrome involves brain function and obstruction of the nasal passage. Depending on the severity and the underlying cause of the condition, Dr Naidoo may recommend surgery to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.
• Head, Neck, and Oral Pathology
  Cancer in the head, neck, and mouth diagnosis and treatment is Head, Neck, and Oral Pathology. Dr Naidoo has the expertise to diagnose cancers affecting the facial and oral region. Various cancers affect the head, neck, and mouth. Routine checks ensure cancer is detected early. A biopsy must be done to confirm cancer before treatment can begin. Treatment then depends on the type of cancer and its severity. Treatment can include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgical treatment.
• Cleft Lip and Palate and Craniofacial Surgery
  Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate are congenital defects present at birth. A Cleft Lip is a noticeable gap in an infants lip that may occur on one or both sides of the lip and stretches to the nose. A Cleft Palate is a gap in the roof of the mouth that extends to the nose. These conditions can impact feeding, suckling, growth, and development. Prenatal ultrasounds may detect Cleft Lip, but Cleft Palates are challenging to detect. Early detection can prepare parents for the arrival of their infant, who may need surgery.
