At Advanced Dental Implants & Oral Surgery, we understand that facial trauma isn’t just about broken bones or damaged tissue—it’s about restoring your sense of self-confidence. Our role is to help you heal fully, with care that supports both your physical and emotional recovery moving forward.
Understanding Facial Trauma
Facial trauma can affect multiple areas at once, and each type of injury requires specialized attention to heal properly.
Common examples include:
- Fractures of the jaw, cheekbones, nasal bones, or eye sockets
- Deep cuts or lacerations affecting the skin, muscles, or soft tissues
- Dental injuries such as broken, dislodged, or knocked-out teeth
Even seemingly minor injuries can have lasting effects if not treated promptly. This makes early evaluation essential for the best possible recovery.
When to Seek Care
If you notice pain, swelling, visible deformity, or difficulty speaking, chewing, or breathing after an injury—it’s important to get evaluated quickly. Prompt treatment can prevent long-term problems such as chronic pain, misalignment, or excessive scarring.
How We Diagnose and Plan Treatment
Your evaluation begins with a detailed discussion about the injury and your medical history. We use advanced imaging such as X-rays, CT scans, or 3D technology to see the full extent of the damage. This allows us to design a surgical plan that addresses both structural repair and facial balance. Our assessment includes bones, soft tissues, and dental structures to ensure no part of the injury is overlooked.
Treatment Options for Facial Trauma
We match each treatment to the nature and complexity of the injury.
This may include:
- Repairing bone fractures with internal fixation using small plates and screws
- Restoring soft tissues with precise suturing and careful attention to nerves and ducts
- Replacing lost or damaged teeth with immediate care and long-term solutions such as implants or prosthetics
For complex injuries, reconstructive surgery may be recommended to restore both function and appearance.
Why Timing Matters
Prompt care for facial trauma leads to better results. Early treatment can shorten recovery time, preserve facial symmetry, and reduce the risk of long-term complications. Waiting too long may make injuries harder to treat and can impact both function and appearance.
