Dental Hospital in Tirupati for Comprehensive Dental Care
A tooth that aches at night, gums that bleed when you brush, a wisdom tooth pushing against the one next to it, or a jaw injury after a fall: our dental team at Sri Balaji Medical College & Hospital examines the problem and explains what treatment it needs. As a dental hospital in Tirupati attached to a teaching institution, we provide routine dental care and oral and maxillofacial surgery with imaging and laboratory support in the same campus.

About the department
Dentistry Department in Tirupati
The Department of Dentistry at Sri Balaji Medical College, Hospital & Research Institute, Renigunta, provides dental consultation, treatment of common dental problems and surgical care for conditions of the mouth, jaws and face. A dental doctor in Tirupati at SBMCH begins with an oral examination, uses imaging where it is needed and then explains the options before any treatment starts.
Patients come to us for cleaning and fillings, for tooth removal, for wisdom teeth that have become painful, and for oral lesions or facial injuries that need surgical assessment. If you are looking for a dental clinic in Tirupati for routine treatment, the same department also handles surgical cases, so you are not sent elsewhere halfway through. Because the department sits inside a general hospital, patients with diabetes, blood pressure or other medical conditions can be reviewed alongside their dental treatment.
What you can expect
- A full oral and dental examination before any treatment
- Intraoral X-rays and further imaging within the hospital when needed
- Clear explanation of the procedure, aftercare and follow-up
- Sterilised instruments and single-use materials where applicable
- Surgical care for wisdom teeth, facial injuries and oral lesions
- Support from other hospital departments for patients with medical conditions
Treatments & procedures
Dental Treatments We Provide
Select a treatment area to see how our dental team assesses and manages it.
Scaling & Gum Care
Professional cleaning removes plaque and hardened deposits from the teeth and supports gum health. Teeth cleaning in Tirupati at SBMCH starts with an assessment of plaque, calculus and the condition of your gums, followed by removal of deposits and practical brushing advice you can follow at home.
What we provide
- Assessment of plaque, calculus and gum health
- Removal of dental deposits (scaling)
- Periodontal pocket-depth measurement when indicated
- Brushing and oral hygiene guidance
Fillings & Tooth Reshaping
Decayed or damaged teeth are restored so you can chew comfortably again. We place temporary fillings to protect a tooth between visits and permanent Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) fillings for selected cavities. Minor reshaping of tooth enamel, known as enameloplasty, may help smooth selected uneven edges after assessment.
What we provide
- Assessment of tooth decay and damage
- Temporary fillings between treatment visits
- Permanent GIC fillings for selected cavities
- Conservative enamel reshaping and polishing when appropriate
- Review of the restoration and bite
Tooth Extraction
When a tooth cannot be retained or removal is otherwise indicated, we explain the procedure first and then carry it out under suitable anaesthesia. For tooth extraction in Tirupati, we assess the tooth clinically and with imaging where required, and give you clear aftercare instructions before you leave.
What we provide
- Clinical assessment and imaging when required
- Tooth removal under suitable anaesthesia
- Aftercare instructions and follow-up
Surgical Removal of Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth that cause pain, swelling or repeated infection may need surgical removal. We evaluate the position of the tooth and the structures around it, including the nerve and the neighbouring tooth, before planning wisdom tooth removal in Tirupati, and we review healing afterwards.
What we provide
- Evaluation of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
- Imaging of tooth position and surrounding structures
- Surgical removal when indicated
- Monitoring of healing and recovery
Jaw & Facial Fracture Care
Injuries to the jaws and face can affect chewing, bite alignment, facial shape and mouth opening. Our oral and maxillofacial team assesses the injury clinically and with imaging, treats fractures of the lower jaw, upper jaw and cheekbone complex when indicated, and manages cuts to the face and mouth. Facial injuries in children are planned around developing teeth and facial growth.
What we provide
- Clinical and radiological assessment of facial injury
- Fixation of mandibular (lower jaw) fractures
- Fixation of maxillary (upper jaw) fractures
- Fixation of zygomaticomaxillary complex (cheekbone) fractures
- Cleaning and suturing of facial and oral soft-tissue injuries
- Management of paediatric facial trauma
Oral Lesions, Biopsy & Salivary Glands
An ulcer, patch or lump in the mouth that does not settle needs examination. An incisional biopsy removes a small portion of the abnormal area to help establish a diagnosis, while an excisional biopsy removes an entire selected lesion when that approach is appropriate. We also evaluate swelling and pain involving the salivary glands and advise care according to the cause.
What we provide
- Clinical assessment and biopsy planning
- Incisional biopsy of oral and maxillofacial lesions
- Excisional biopsy of suitable lesions
- Histopathology coordination and discussion of results
- Assessment and management of selected salivary gland conditions
- Release of tongue-tie when clinically indicated
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Splint Therapy
Pain in the jaw joint, clicking while opening the mouth or aching chewing muscles can disturb eating and sleep. After assessing jaw movement and the pattern of pain, selected patients may benefit from an individually assessed oral splint, with review of comfort, fit and symptom response.
What we provide
- Assessment of jaw pain and movement
- Bite, tooth alignment and TMJ assessment
- Splint therapy when appropriate
- Review of comfort, fit and symptom response
Oral Submucous Fibrosis
Oral submucous fibrosis can cause tightness of the oral tissues and difficulty opening the mouth, and it is commonly linked to areca nut and tobacco use. Care focuses on assessment, help to stop the habit, symptom management, mouth-opening exercises and regular review, with biopsy of suspicious changes when indicated.
What we provide
- Assessment of oral tissues and mouth opening
- Support to stop areca nut and tobacco use
- Individualised treatment and mouth-opening exercises
- Ongoing surveillance and biopsy of suspicious changes when indicated

Do I need an appointment for the dental OPD?
We recommend calling ahead on 0877 6510510 to confirm doctor availability and dental OPD timings before your visit.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain while the tooth is being removed. Some swelling and discomfort for a few days afterwards is normal, and your dentist will give you medicines and aftercare instructions to manage it.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most people benefit from a dental check-up and professional cleaning once or twice a year. If you have bleeding gums, heavy deposits, diabetes or a tobacco habit, your dentist may advise cleaning and review more often.
Can children be treated in the dental department?
Yes. Paediatric dentistry covers dental assessment for children, preventive care, oral hygiene education, and management of dental problems and facial injuries, with treatment planned around a child's age and comfort.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out in an accident?
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root, keep it moist in milk or the patient's own saliva, and reach the hospital as soon as possible. For an injury to the jaw or face, or bleeding that does not stop, come to Emergency or call 0877 6510510.
Where is Sri Balaji Medical College & Hospital located?
