Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons

Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dental specialists work together at nuFace Maxillofacial and Dental Hospital in Surat to provide coordinated care that spans routine dentistry, cosmetic treatment and complex facial surgery under one roof.

Dr. Nehal Patel and Dr. Pooja Patel lead the maxillofacial surgery side of the practice, handling procedures such as TMJ arthroscopy, orthognathic (jaw) surgery, cleft lip and palate repair, and facial trauma reconstruction. Both surgeons hold MDS qualifications in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and remain active in professional bodies such as the Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India (AOMSI), which keeps their surgical protocols aligned with current national standards.

Dr. Purvi Patel and the dental surgery team manage general and cosmetic dentistry, including root canal treatment, dental implants, crowns and bridges, veneers, clear aligners, and preventive care for children through our kids dentistry service. This division of expertise means patients can move between routine dental care and specialist maxillofacial treatment without needing to be referred to an outside clinic.

Every clinician on this page is directly involved in patient care at nuFace, rather than being listed for marketing purposes only. When you book a consultation, you will typically meet the specialist most relevant to your condition, whether that is a maxillofacial surgeon for a jaw or TMJ concern, or a dental surgeon for a cosmetic or restorative procedure.

We encourage new patients to review each team member’s profile above to understand their specific area of focus before booking, particularly for surgical consultations where matching your case to the right specialist in advance can save time during your first visit.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to manage conditions that sit at the boundary of dentistry and medicine, including impacted wisdom teeth, jaw fractures, cysts and tumours of the jaw, and congenital conditions such as cleft lip and palate. This training typically extends several years beyond a basic dental degree and includes hospital-based surgical residency, which is why maxillofacial cases at nuFace are handled by MDS-qualified surgeons rather than general dentists.

Working alongside the surgical team, our dental surgeons focus on the day-to-day oral health needs that make up the majority of patient visits: fillings, root canal treatment, crowns, bridges, aligners and cosmetic procedures such as veneers and teeth whitening. Keeping both disciplines under one roof allows for smoother handoffs when a patient’s treatment plan involves both restorative dentistry and a surgical procedure, such as implant placement after bone grafting or orthodontic alignment before jaw surgery.

If you are unsure which specialist to book with, our front-desk team can help match your symptoms or referral letter to the right doctor before your first appointment, so you are seen by the most relevant member of our oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dental specialists team from the start.

We update this page whenever a new specialist joins nuFace, so please check back periodically if you are tracking the credentials of a specific doctor ahead of a planned procedure. Patient reviews and case outcomes referenced elsewhere on this website reflect the combined work of the surgeons and dental specialists introduced on this page.

Choosing a hospital where oral and maxillofacial surgeons and general dental surgeons work side by side also matters for continuity of care after surgery. Follow-up appointments, suture removal, and any restorative work needed once healing is complete can be scheduled with the same clinical team that performed the original procedure, rather than being handed off to an unfamiliar provider elsewhere in the city.
