What is Facial Trauma?

Facial trauma refers to injuries affecting the face, mouth, and jaw, often resulting from accidents, falls, sports injuries, or other unexpected events. These injuries may impact soft tissues, bones, and facial structure, requiring careful and precise treatment to restore proper function and aesthetic appearance.

Types of Facial Trauma We Treat

Our team is experienced in managing various types of facial trauma, including:

• Fractures of the Jaw and Facial Bones: Broken or fractured jaws and facial bones require surgical intervention to realign and stabilize the structure, ensuring proper healing and function.
• Dental Injuries: Injuries to teeth, including avulsed (knocked-out) teeth, can often be treated with dental implants or other restorative methods if the natural tooth cannot be saved.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Lacerations to the face and mouth are carefully repaired to preserve both function and appearance, minimizing scarring and optimizing healing.
• Eye Socket (Orbital) Fractures: Injuries to the eye socket can affect vision and facial symmetry. Precise surgical care is essential to address orbital fractures and ensure proper recovery.
• Cheekbone (Zygomatic) Fractures: These fractures can alter facial structure and require alignment and fixation to restore normal appearance.

Each type of injury presents unique challenges, and our team uses advanced imaging, such as the i-CAT™ Cone Beam Scanner, to accurately diagnose and develop a treatment plan tailored to each patient.

Our Facial Trauma Treatment Process

1. Consultation and Assessment: We start with a thorough consultation to evaluate the extent of the injury and understand each patient’s unique needs. Advanced imaging helps us accurately assess the trauma and plan the appropriate course of action.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Depending on the nature of the injury, our team will discuss treatment options, such as bone grafting for complex fractures, soft tissue grafting for lacerations, or restorative solutions like implants for damaged teeth.
3. Surgical Intervention: Surgical procedures are performed with precision, utilizing tools like Piezosurgery for gentle, minimally invasive bone modifications. For optimal comfort, we offer Anesthesia & IV Sedation to ensure a pain-free experience.

Recovery and Support: Our team provides detailed Surgical Instructions to guide patients through the recovery process. For enhanced healing, we may recommend Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF), which utilizes natural growth factors to speed up recovery and reduce downtime.
