Jaw cyst Treatment in Nuffield Dental

About the clinic

Nuffield Dental in Singapore provides surgical removal of jaw cysts through enucleation across its 10 clinics. The facility is a Medisave Accredited Day Surgery Center and uses advanced imaging like CBCT to plan precise treatments. Over 40 dentists with over 20 years of experience handle these oral surgery cases for international patients.

Diagnostic process for jaw cysts

The clinic uses digital tools to identify the location of the cyst and its proximity to nerves or tooth roots. This helps the surgical team choose the best approach for removal. Patients usually undergo several checks during the evaluation phase.

  • Consultation. An initial meeting with an oral surgeon to review symptoms and medical history.
  • Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. This provides a 3D view of the jawbone and teeth.
  • Panoramic OPG X-ray. A broad view of the entire jaw to detect hidden growths.
  • Digital X-rays. Detailed images used for focused planning near specific teeth.

Jaw cyst removal and treatment

The primary method at the clinic is cyst enucleation. This involves removing the entire cyst sac to prevent the growth from returning. The procedure takes 45 to 90 minutes and is performed as an outpatient surgery. For comfort, patients can choose local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia.

  • Cyst enucleation. Surgeons access the area through the gum or jawbone to remove the growth completely.
  • Large cavity management. For larger cysts, doctors apply an external dressing for 24-48 hours after surgery.
  • Tooth extraction. If a cyst has damaged a nearby tooth beyond repair, the surgeon may remove the tooth during the same session.
  • Post-operative care. The clinical team provides instructions on managing the area to help the bone heal.

The dental group holds recognition from the Singapore Dental Council and offers virtual consultations for patients traveling from abroad. You can request a consultation for jaw cyst treatment at Nuffield Dental by leaving a request on Bookimed.

Nuffield Dental: more details about the clinic

Singapore, Singapore
Nuffield Dental is a multi-disciplinary dental group in Singapore. Dr. Samintharaj Kumar founded it in 2014. The network now operates 10 branches across the city. It serves as a one-stop center for general, surgical, and pediatric dental care.

Key Achievements and Medical Team

The clinic treats a large international patient base from the UK, Europe, and Canada. It also serves patients from Australia, China, and the Middle East. The medical team includes 40 doctors and 25 employees. Many specialists trained in the UK, Australia, and the US.

Nuffield Dental is recognized as a high-growth company in the Asia Pacific. The clinic holds the Company of Good 3 Hearts Recognition for its social contributions. Several surgical procedures are Medisave Accredited, so eligible patients can use specific local insurance funds.

Dental Implantology and Oral Surgery

The clinic specializes in full-arch restoration using the All-on-4 technique, often called Teeth in a Day. This method uses four to six implants to support a permanent bridge. The surgical team performs several advanced implant procedures:

  • Zygomatic implants – these anchor into the cheekbone for patients with severe bone loss.
  • Pterygoid implants – these provide alternative anchorage without bone grafting.
  • Immediate implants – this allows same-day tooth replacement after extraction.
  • Multi-teeth and single-tooth dental implants.

For zygomatic implants, the clinic reports a success rate of over 96% in selected cases. The oral surgery department also handles complex cases like jaw surgery and cyst removal. Surgeons use electric motor-driven handpieces for greater precision during wisdom tooth extractions.

Orthodontics and Specialized Care

Nuffield Dental offers multiple options for teeth straightening and pediatric oral health. Clear aligner treatments like Invisalign use computerized simulations to show future tooth movement. The clinic also provides Damon braces and Myobrace for younger patients to improve jaw development.

The periodontics department treats gum disease using both conservative and surgical methods. Specialists use Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) to rebuild tissue lost to periodontitis. This therapy stimulates bone growth around existing teeth, helping prevent tooth loss.

Pediatric services cover routine check-ups and specialized treatments like tongue-tie surgery. The clinic provides a kid-friendly environment to manage dental anxiety from a young age. Families can coordinate preventive care for multiple members during the same visit.

Advanced Diagnostic Technology

The network uses a proprietary AI-powered screening tool called scanO Air. This contactless kiosk captures mouth images and screens for 40 oral conditions in 12 seconds. Over 1.6 million people worldwide have used this technology to identify dental concerns.

Diagnostic accuracy relies on a suite of digital imaging systems:

  • Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for 3D jaw modeling.
  • Intraoral scanning to create digital molds without physical impressions.
  • Panoramic OPG X-rays for a complete view of both jaws.
  • Digital X-rays for targeted assessments.

These tools let doctors create accurate treatment plans before any procedure begins.

International Patient Services

A dedicated liaison team coordinates care for travelers before they arrive in Singapore. They manage appointment schedules for consultations, diagnostics, and surgeries. The team also handles advance billing arrangements to give international visitors financial clarity.

Patients can access 15-minute virtual consultations to discuss their needs from home. Once on-site, the clinic follows strict infection control protocols using pre-vacuum autoclaves. These safety measures help reduce the risk of post-surgical complications.

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr Hanna and her assistant, Geeta, and I highly recommend them both. Dr Hanna is incredibly gentle, patient, and attentive. She takes the time to carefully explain everything she is doing, and something I particularly appreciated was that before placing anything in my mouth, she would always tell me what it was and what she was about to do. It may seem like a small detail, but when you are nervous about dental procedures, it makes such a difference. Both Dr Hanna and Geeta showed so much patience with me throughout my appointments. I am quite nervous when it comes to dental work, but they never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable and always made sure I was okay before continuing. The entire experience was great from beginning to end, from the reception team to Dr Hanna and Geeta. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and kind, and I felt very well taken care of throughout the whole process. Thank you, Dr Hanna and Geeta, for making what is normally a stressful experience for me feel so much easier and more comfortable. I would happily recommend them to anyone, especially those who are nervous about going to the dentist.

This clinic, and all the staff, are wonderful in many ways. I highly recommend Koh Jiayang Joseph; he was able to walk me through everything and explain some physiology that will help me have better oral hygiene habits. I also brought my children whom were initially scared but quickly became excited because he was very gentle and patient with them.

I had a wonderful experience at the clinic. Making an appointment was quick and easy, and the communication before my visit was smooth and efficient. From the moment I arrived, all the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, which made me feel very comfortable. Joseph took care of my scaling, dental examination, and consultation. He was professional, gentle, and very thorough throughout the entire process. He paid great attention to detail during the dental hygiene treatment and carefully explained the condition of my teeth and oral health, answering my questions patiently. I truly appreciated the kindness, reassurance, and professionalism shown by both Joseph and the rest of the team. Thank you for making my visit such a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a caring and professional dental team. 🌹

I’ve been coming to this clinic whenever I need a second opinion, and this was my second time visiting. I like how the team always prioritize saving your natural tooth first before recommending any procedures. Recently did a root canal treatment with Dr. Kenneth Siah and experience was excellent from start to finish. Dr. Kenneth did detailed assessments including cold test, EPT, and other diagnostic checks which gave me confidence that diagnosis was thorough and evidence based. He’s professional and takes time to sit down with you to explain things clearly. Great sense of humor and often uses analogies to make complex dental concepts easier to understand, which helped reduce my anxiety. The nurse assisting was also attentive and encouraging throughout, especially since I wasn’t sure what to expect. Entire procedure is smooth and done right. Costs are transparent and clearly outlined upfront. Making appointments is straightforward and location is convenient for those working in CBD. Front desk staffs are always welcoming, friendly and polite. Every interaction has been pleasant with genuine care.

I brought my daughter for a tooth extraction with Dr. Bruce Lee and well assisted by nurse Michelle . Booking the appointment was easy, and Ms. Riza handled it smoothly. On the day of the visit, Dr. Bruce was very friendly and made my daughter feel at ease. Upon arrival, Ms. Su Hui attended to us promptly, and we were able to see the dentist without any delay. The procedure was quick, the clinic is CHAS-accredited, and using the Baby Bonus card for payment was hassle-free. The clinic is conveniently located near my workplace, making it easily accessible by MRT. Highly recommended!
