Dr. Vikram Prabhakar

Dr. Vikram Prabhakar is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with 20 years of clinical experience, including 16 years of full-time teaching at graduate and postgraduate levels. He trained at Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar, India, where he obtained his Master's degree in dental surgery. He now practises at NMC Healthcare in Al Ain, bringing both surgical expertise and academic rigour to patient care.

Dr. Prabhakar specialises in complex surgical cases of the jaw, face, and mouth. He is notably the only oral and maxillofacial surgeon in the UAE performing minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)—the hinge that connects your lower jaw to your skull. This technique allows him to treat painful jaw conditions such as lock-jaw, clicking, and internal joint problems without requiring open surgery, offering faster recovery and less tissue trauma than traditional approaches.

His background in both clinical practice and teaching reflects a commitment to high standards of care and advancing the field. He is well-suited for patients requiring specialist jaw surgery, TMJ disorders, or complex facial reconstruction who prefer minimally invasive options when feasible.
