Surgery led by a named MDS oral & maxillofacial surgeon

Oral Surgery Specialist in Coimbatore Meet the oral & maxillofacial surgeon at Arasu Dental Care

When a tooth needs to come out surgically, a wisdom tooth sits impacted under the gum, or a growth or cyst needs removing from your mouth, you want an oral and maxillofacial surgeon handling it — not a general chair-side extraction. At Arasu Dental Care, that surgery is carried out by our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. P.R. Gouthaman (MDS), so the harder, surgical cases are treated by someone trained specifically for them, in a clinic that also gives you sedation, imaging and same-week follow-up under one roof.

Most of the oral surgery patients actually need — impacted and broken-down teeth, surgical extractions, minor soft-tissue and bone procedures — is done here in the clinic under local anaesthesia, with sedation where it helps. This page is for choosing who does that surgery. If you already know the procedure you need, you can go straight to wisdom tooth removal or tooth extraction below.

Where To Start

When you need an oral surgeon, not a general dentist

A general dentist handles routine fillings, cleanings and simple extractions. You are in oral-surgery territory when the case needs cutting, bone work, or surgical access — and that is when it is worth seeing a specialist. We usually see patients referred to our oral surgeon for one of these:

Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth

A wisdom tooth stuck under the gum or angled against the tooth in front, causing pain, swelling, repeated infection or crowding. See wisdom tooth removal.

Surgical (complex) extractions

A tooth that is broken at the gum line, heavily decayed, root-fractured or has curved roots, which cannot be lifted out simply and needs a surgical approach. See tooth extraction.

Minor oral surgery

Removal of small cysts or lesions, exposure of buried teeth for orthodontics, and biopsy of a suspicious patch or lump in the mouth.

Pre-treatment surgical steps

Procedures such as bone smoothing or minor grafting needed before dentures or implants.

Facial and jaw concerns

For jaw joint (TMJ) pain and cosmetic facial surgery, we bring in the right specialist alongside surgery where it is needed.

Impacted wisdom teeth are common: pooled research across populations puts the prevalence of at least one impacted third molar at roughly 37% of adults, with the highest rates reported in Asian populations — so if a lower wisdom tooth is giving you trouble, you are far from alone, and it is exactly the kind of case an oral surgeon is trained to remove predictably.

Not sure whether your case needs surgery? A consultation with an OPG or scan will tell you plainly — and often the answer is that a simpler approach will do.

Your Surgeon

Meet our oral surgeon — Dr. P.R. Gouthaman, MDS

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is one of the recognised dental master's (MDS) specialisations in India, which means the surgeon operating on you has trained for years beyond a general dental degree specifically in surgery of the mouth, teeth and jaws. Our oral surgery is led by Dr. P.R. Gouthaman.

Credentials and training

MDS in Oral Surgery from A.B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Mangalore — a dedicated surgical postgraduate qualification.
BDS from Sri Ramakrishna Dental College, Coimbatore.
Focus areas: surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth, complex and surgical extractions, minor oral surgical procedures, and cosmetic facial surgery.

What this means for you as a patient is simple: the difficult extraction that another clinic might refer elsewhere is the routine part of his day. Surgical planning uses imaging first — an OPG, and a 3D CBCT scan for cases sitting close to a nerve or sinus — so the surgery is mapped before it starts, not worked out on the chair.

MDS, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery · A.B. Shetty Memorial Institute

Impacted wisdom teeth · surgical extractions

Dr. Gouthaman leads oral surgery at Arasu — impacted and partially erupted wisdom teeth, complex and surgical extractions, and minor oral surgical procedures. He plans every surgical case from imaging first, using an OPG and a 3D CBCT scan where a case sits close to a nerve or sinus, so the harder extractions other clinics refer elsewhere are handled here, predictably.

The Wider Team

The specialists we bring in around your surgery

Some cases need more than one pair of hands, and a multispecialty clinic is where that coordination is easiest. Around your oral surgery, we can involve:

Jaw joint and facial pain

Our founder, Dr. P.S. Sree Cumar (MDS Orthodontics), is a TMJ and jaw-pain specialist, so clicking, locking or aching in the jaw joint is assessed by someone who treats it specifically rather than being lumped in with tooth pain.

Laser soft-tissue procedures

Our periodontist holds an Associate Fellowship in Laser Dentistry (WCLI, USA), useful for procedures such as a laser frenectomy (tongue-tie or lip-tie release) with less bleeding and faster healing.

Implants and root canals alongside surgery

When a surgical extraction is the first step toward an implant or bridge, our implant and endodontic specialists plan the replacement with the surgeon so you are not sent between clinics.

For everyday needs this is a single-surgeon service, and we say that plainly — you will see the same oral surgeon through your treatment, supported by the wider team when your case calls for it. Browse the full team on our doctors page.

Honest Scope

What we do here — and what we refer to a hospital

Being honest about scope is part of trusting a clinic. Most oral surgery is office-based and we do it here; a smaller set of major cases belongs in a hospital theatre, and we tell you which is which at your first visit rather than after you have committed.

Done here at the clinic	Referred to a hospital setting
Impacted and partially erupted wisdom teeth	Major corrective jaw (orthognathic) surgery
Surgical and complex extractions	Facial trauma and fracture repair
Minor cyst, lesion and soft-tissue procedures	Large tumours or reconstructive surgery
Biopsy of a suspicious area	Cases needing full general anaesthesia and admission
Exposure of buried teeth; minor bone work	Complex cases needing overnight hospital monitoring

Where a case is beyond what is safe or appropriate in a dental clinic, we refer you to a maxillofacial hospital unit — and if it is a lesion that needs checking, we help you get it looked at quickly. Sending you to the right place is part of the job, not a failure of it.

What To Expect

What to expect, and the honest considerations

A typical surgical case with us runs in four steps. Most people are back to normal routines within a few days for a straightforward surgical extraction, with a little longer for a deeply impacted lower wisdom tooth.

Consultation and imaging

A consultation with an OPG, and a CBCT scan where the case needs it, so the surgery is mapped before it starts.

A clear plan and cost

You get a clear plan and the cost before anything is booked — no surprises on the day.

The procedure

The procedure itself, under local anaesthesia with sedation where it helps, so the area is fully numb.

Recovery and review

A short recovery with a review visit — easy to fit in because we are open every day of the week.

The considerations we talk through honestly

Comfort during the procedure

Surgical extraction is done under local anaesthesia so the area is fully numb; you feel pressure and movement, not sharp pain. Sedation is available for anxious patients and longer cases.

Swelling and soreness after

Some swelling and soreness for a few days is normal, especially after lower wisdom-tooth surgery, and is managed with medication and simple aftercare.

Dry socket

An uncommon complication where the healing clot is lost early, causing a few days of pain. It affects a small minority of extractions, is more likely after lower wisdom-tooth surgery, and settles with a simple in-clinic dressing. Following the aftercare instructions lowers the risk.

Results vary

Healing speed and recovery depend on the tooth's position, your general health and habits such as smoking. We give you realistic timelines for your specific case, not a one-size figure.

Transparent Pricing

What oral surgery costs at Arasu Dental Care

Cost depends on the tooth and how complex the surgery is — a simple extraction and a fully impacted lower wisdom tooth are different jobs. The ranges below are a guide; your exact fee is confirmed after the consultation and imaging, when we can see what your case actually involves.

Procedure	Indicative fee
Consultation & surgical assessment	₹300 – ₹500
OPG (panoramic X-ray)	₹400 – ₹600
CBCT scan complex / impacted cases	₹1,000 – ₹4,000
Simple extraction fully erupted tooth	₹1,500 – ₹3,500
Surgical extraction partially impacted	₹4,000 – ₹6,000
Surgical extraction fully impacted	₹4,000 – ₹8,000

Indicative ranges — your exact fee is confirmed after the consultation and scan

We keep pricing transparent and talk you through what is included before you decide. We accept cash, UPI, cards, net banking and EMI options, and can discuss what fits your treatment. For a detailed breakdown, see tooth extraction cost and wisdom tooth removal cost.

SSuresh R.

Had a lower wisdom tooth that was fully impacted. They did a CBCT first, explained exactly what was involved, and the extraction was far easier than I feared. Back to work in two days.

DDivya M.

My tooth had broken at the gum line and another clinic said it needed a hospital. Dr. Gouthaman removed it here surgically. Numb the whole time, clear about the cost upfront.

KKarthik V.

Went in anxious about surgery. They talked through sedation and the recovery honestly, no overselling. Swelling settled in a few days like they said it would.

PPriya N.

A lump in my cheek was checked and biopsied quickly, and they helped me get the report sorted. Felt like they took it seriously without scaring me.

Reviews are from real Arasu Dental Care patients. Results vary from patient to patient based on the tooth's position, general health and habits such as smoking; patient results shown may not be typical.

FAQs

Oral surgery FAQs

A general dentist can remove a straightforward, fully erupted tooth. You need an oral surgeon when the tooth is impacted, broken at the gum line, root-fractured, or sitting near a nerve or sinus — cases that need a surgical approach. At your consultation we tell you honestly which category yours falls into.

The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so the area is fully numb and you feel pressure rather than sharp pain. For anxious patients or longer cases, sedation is available. Some soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal and is managed with medication and aftercare.

Most people return to normal routines within a few days after a straightforward surgical extraction. A deeply impacted lower wisdom tooth can take a little longer, with swelling that peaks in the first two to three days. We give you a timeline for your specific case.

Dry socket is when the healing clot over the socket is lost early, exposing the bone and causing a few days of pain. It affects a small minority of extractions, is more common after lower wisdom-tooth surgery, and settles quickly with a simple dressing at the clinic. Following the aftercare instructions lowers the risk.

Most oral surgery — impacted teeth, surgical extractions, minor procedures — is done here in the clinic. Major corrective jaw (orthognathic) surgery, facial fractures and cases needing general anaesthesia belong in a hospital theatre, and we refer you to the right maxillofacial unit for those.

It depends on the tooth and the complexity of the surgery. A simple extraction starts lower than a fully impacted wisdom tooth that needs a surgical approach and imaging. We confirm your exact fee after the consultation and scan, and keep the pricing transparent before you decide.
