	Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Removal of infected or diseased teeth and the correction of defects related to the orofacial region.
	Cosmetic Dentistry: A beautiful smile is the most effective means by which people convey their emotions. Because of the many advances in dentistry, patients no longer have to settle for strained, chipped or misalaligned teeth. The most common procedures in COSMETIC dentistry are Enamel Shaping, Bleaching, Bonding and Application of Porcelain Veneers.
	Maxillofacial Prosthetics [Oro-Facial]: Rehabilitation of patients with oral and facial defects. Cancer is a devastating disease, both to the patients and the family. Maxillofacial Prosthetics is that branch of Dentistry which deals with the rehabilitation of Oral, Cancer and Trauma patients using prostheses, example- upper or lower jaws, ears, eyes, nose etc.
