Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in Gurgaon
You usually start looking for an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Gurgaon because someone has said a problem is beyond routine dentistry: a buried tooth, a shadow on an X-ray, a jaw injury. Dr Lokesh Yadav, BDS, MDS (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery), is the director of Denz Aesthetics in Sector 48, with over ten years in clinical practice and consultant appointments at hospitals and clinics across Gurgaon and the NCR.

How this differs from seeing a dentist
A BDS makes a dentist. An MDS in oral and maxillofacial surgery adds three years of specialist training in the surgery of the teeth, the jaws and the facial skeleton. A general dentist is the right person for fillings, routine extractions and crowns. You need a surgeon when the problem involves the jawbone, the nerves or the face, or when something will not come out simply.
What brings people to a surgeon
- Impacted teeth. More than 9,000 removed, including those near the nerve. See wisdom tooth removal.
- Jaw cysts and tumours. More than 450 jaw cysts removed. A lesion needs someone who can say what it is and how urgent it is.
- Facial trauma. More than 400 cases of fractures and injuries to the facial skeleton.
- Jaw joint problems. Clicking, locking and pain, with over 90 TMJ corrections.
- Corrective jaw surgery. For the bite that braces alone cannot fix.
- Implants with too little bone. Grafting and sinus lifts, then the implant.
- Frenectomy. Releasing a tight lip or tongue tie, in children and adults.
Where the surgery happens
Day-to-day work is done under local anaesthetic in the implant theatre at the Sector 48 clinic. Major cases go to a full operating theatre with a surgical and anaesthetic team. Which of the two applies to you is settled at the consultation.
If your dentist has referred you
Bring the referral note and any OPG or CBCT you already have, or send them ahead. The consultation is there to say what the problem is, what the options are and what each one involves, including leaving it alone when that is truly an option. Your own dentist can carry on with your routine care afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see a maxillofacial surgeon?
No. You can book directly. If another dentist has examined you, bring whatever they gave you, as it saves time.
Is every operation done under general anaesthetic?
No. Most day-to-day procedures are done under local anaesthetic at the clinic. Major cases are done in a full operating theatre with an anaesthetic team.
A cyst was found on my X-ray. How urgent is that?
Many are harmless and slow-growing, but they should not simply be left. Send the X-ray and you will be told how soon it needs to be seen.
Do you treat jaw fractures?
Yes, facial trauma is part of Dr Lokesh Yadav's surgical work. After a serious injury to the head or face, go to a hospital emergency department first.
