Facial Trauma
Facial Trauma
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are highly skilled in treating facial trauma. Intense training and a deep understanding of skeletal anatomy and occlusions (proper teeth alignment) give us the skills necessary to correct traumatic injuries properly.
We treat a number of facial fractures, including:
- Broken jaws (mandible or maxilla)
- Fractured zygomas or cheekbones
- Nasal fractures
- Fractures of the dentoalveolar structures (bones surrounding the teeth)
We also treat these other types of facial trauma:
- Blast injuries
- Lacerations to the face, neck, or ears
- Cosmetic closure of facial lacerations
- Foreign body removal
