What is an Oral Cyst?
An oral cyst is a fluid-filled sac that can form in the jawbone, gums, or soft tissue of the mouth. Most cysts are benign but must be removed as they grow slowly and can damage surrounding teeth and bone.
Removal is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia at The Urban Smile, Sainikpuri — with quick recovery and minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most oral cysts are benign (non-cancerous), but all require removal because they grow over time and can damage the jawbone and adjacent teeth if left untreated.
Diagnosis is made through clinical examination and dental X-rays or a CBCT scan. The cyst's size, location, and type determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia — you will feel no pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is mild and easily managed with prescribed painkillers.
Most patients recover within 5–7 days. Swelling subsides in 2–3 days. Soft foods are recommended for the first week, and stitches are removed after 7–10 days.
With complete surgical removal, most cysts do not recur. Some types (like keratocysts) have a slightly higher recurrence rate and require regular follow-up X-rays to monitor healing.
Cost depends on the size and complexity of the cyst. Call +91 93980 07382 or visit our clinic in Sainikpuri for an examination and X-ray to determine the exact treatment plan and pricing.
