Facial Trauma Repair

Facial trauma can have a significant impact on your health, functionality, and appearance. Injuries to the face can affect your ability to speak, eat, or even breathe properly. Seeking treatment from an experienced surgeon ensures that you receive personalized care.

Common Types of Facial Trauma

Bone Fractures

Facial trauma often involves fractures of critical bones, including the jaw (mandibular), cheekbones (zygomatic), nose, and orbital (eye socket) areas. Each type of fracture requires a specialized treatment approach to restore function and beauty.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Cuts and lacerations on the face or inside the mouth can damage facial nerves, muscles, and ducts. Precise surgical repair can preserve functionality and minimize scarring.

Dental Trauma

Trauma to the teeth, such as breaks, dislodgements, or complete knockouts, can also impact surrounding bone and soft tissues. Immediate attention from a skilled professional is crucial for optimal outcomes.

Symptoms of Facial Trauma

Signs of facial trauma can vary depending on the severity of the injury, but common symptoms include:

• Pain or swelling in the face, jaw, or mouth
• Difficulty speaking, chewing, or breathing
• Visible deformities, bruising, or cuts
• Loose or missing teeth

If you experience any of these symptoms following an injury, contact us today to schedule an appointment.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Initial Assessment

A thorough assessment begins with a discussion of your medical history and the details of your injury. Your oral surgeon will evaluate the extent of damage to develop an accurate diagnosis.

Imaging Technology

Advanced imaging techniques, such as X-rays, CT scans, or 3D imaging, allow your surgeon to visualize the injury in detail. This step is crucial for planning effective treatment.

Comprehensive Examination

A detailed examination of the bones, soft tissues, and dental structures ensures a complete understanding of your condition. This comprehensive approach helps guide a precise and effective treatment plan.

Treatment Options for Facial Trauma

• Bone Fracture Repair: Bone fractures are typically treated using internal fixation methods, such as plates and screws, to stabilize and realign the bones for proper healing
• Soft Tissue Repair: Lacerations and soft tissue injuries require careful stitching, with particular attention to preserving the integrity of nerves and ducts
• Dental Trauma Treatment: Knocked-out or damaged teeth are addressed through emergency care—with options for long-term restoration, like dental implants
• Reconstructive Surgery: For more complex injuries, reconstructive surgery may be needed to restore both the functionality and appearance of the face

Why Early Treatment is Critical

Prompt treatment of facial trauma is essential to prevent complications and ensure optimal outcomes. Delayed care can lead to chronic pain, misalignment of bones, or difficulty with everyday activities like chewing and speaking.

Early intervention also minimizes scarring and deformities. This can improve both aesthetic and function. Finally, addressing injuries immediately can reduce recovery time and lead to more successful long-term outcomes.
