Meet Dr Vinit Pandhi

Some dental problems need surgical training in addition to general dental care. Dr Vinit Pandhi, BDS, MDS, FISOI, practises oral and maxillofacial surgery and implant dentistry at The Curve Dental Solutions in Andheri West.

According to the clinic’s current information, Dr Pandhi completed postgraduate training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and holds fellowship training in implantology. His clinical interests include wisdom-tooth surgery, dental implants, minor oral surgical procedures and the surgical stages of complex dental rehabilitation. The clinic should add his verified degree-awarding institutions, Maharashtra State Dental Council registration number, current memberships and hospital panels to this page.

What does an oral and maxillofacial surgeon treat?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon assesses conditions involving the teeth, mouth, jaws and surrounding structures. Common clinic referrals include impacted wisdom teeth, difficult extractions, infections, jaw cysts, dental trauma, bone grafting and implant-related surgery. Not every concern requires surgery; examination and appropriate imaging help determine the next step.

What happens at a surgical consultation?

The consultation usually begins with a review of symptoms, medical conditions, medicines, allergies and previous dental treatment. Dr Pandhi may examine the tooth, gums, bite and nearby structures. A dental X-ray or CBCT scan may be advised when the position of roots, bone or nearby nerves needs closer assessment.

The discussion should cover the diagnosis, alternatives, anaesthesia, possible risks, expected recovery and aftercare. Patients should also disclose blood-thinning medicines, diabetes, pregnancy, allergies and previous reactions to anaesthesia.

Coordinated care at The Curve Dental Solutions

Surgical treatment is often only one part of a larger plan. For example, an implant may require restoration with a crown, while an infected tooth may need input from both surgical and restorative clinicians. A multispeciality setting can make this coordination more convenient.
