An implant nobody will place
Bone has shrunk where the tooth has been missing a while. Grafting and sinus lift are done here rather than referred on again, so the implant becomes possible instead of impossible.
Dental implantsDr Lokesh Yadav is a consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Sector 48, Gurugram. One practice, two halves: the surgical work other dentists refer on, and the facial aesthetics done by someone who already knows the anatomy underneath.
A maxillofacial surgeon trains in medicine as well as dentistry. The cases that stop at a general practice — the root against the nerve, the jaw that will not take an implant — start here.
Surgery and implants 02 — Facial aestheticsMost aesthetic practitioners learn the face from the outside in. A maxillofacial surgeon has spent his career underneath it — the bone, the nerve and the muscle that decide what any treatment can actually do.
Facial aesthetics
Major cases are done in a full operating theatre with a surgical and anaesthetic team, not squeezed into a dental chair. That is the difference between a dentist who attempts a case and a surgeon who is set up for it.
Day-to-day implants, extractions and facial aesthetics are done at the Sector 48 clinic.
Referred by another dentist for something outside routine practice, or arriving after being told elsewhere that a case could not be done. Both are ordinary here.
Bone has shrunk where the tooth has been missing a while. Grafting and sinus lift are done here rather than referred on again, so the implant becomes possible instead of impossible.
Dental implantsDeeply impacted third molars where the roots sit against the inferior alveolar nerve. Planned from a scan first, so the real risk is discussed before the day rather than after.
Wisdom tooth removalA cyst or a lesion in the jaw that a routine X-ray picked up. It needs a surgeon to say what it is, how urgent it is, and what removing it involves.
Jaw cysts and tumoursAgeing, volume loss or asymmetry, assessed by someone who reads the bone and the muscle underneath rather than only the skin on top.
Facial aestheticsYou have been given a plan and a price and you are not sure. Send the X-ray; you will be told plainly whether it is reasonable, including when the answer is that it is.
Send it on WhatsAppThat is a normal place to start. Send whatever imaging you have and you will get an honest answer on whether this needs a surgeon at all.

The two halves of the practice are not a coincidence. The same training that lets him take a tumour out of a jaw is what tells him where a needle should and should not go in a face.
