Maxillofacial Post-Cancer Rehabilitation at Dr. Ankit Shah Clinic

Cancer treatment, particularly in the head, neck, and oral regions, often leaves patients with functional and aesthetic challenges. Dr. Ankit Satish Shah, an expert in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, specializes in Maxillofacial Post-Cancer Rehabilitation at Dr. Ankit Shah Clinic, Bibwewadi, Pune. His goal is to help patients regain function, restore facial aesthetics, and improve their quality of life after cancer treatment.

  • Microvascular Free Flap Reconstruction – Restoring missing soft and hard tissues using grafts from other body parts.
  • Osseointegration Implantology – Placing dental implants for full-mouth rehabilitation and improved prosthetic support.
  • Facial Reconstruction – Addressing deformities caused by tumor removal to enhance appearance and function.
  • Speech and Swallowing Rehabilitation – Assisting patients in adapting to changes in oral structure.
