Facial trauma includes any injury to the bones or soft tissue of the face, from the forehead to your chin, and from your skin to your teeth and oral cavity.
Our board certified surgeons and dentists are experts in the management of facial trauma to the head and oral cavity.
Injuries may include cuts or lacerations to the skin, avulsed or “knocked out” teeth, or broken bones. These injuries can be caused by events such as accidents, sports injuries, falls, and even violence.
If this is a true medical emergency then proceed to your nearest emergency room where an oral surgeon on call will work with the hospital team to treat your emergency facial injury.
Many times, if not life threatening, your injury can be evaluated and treated in the office setting.
It is critical to treat facial and dental injuries as soon as possible so that form and function can be restored, and scarring and disfigurement can be prevented.
Treating facial injuries is both an art and a science. The advanced training received by our board certified surgeons will help restore you back to health in a way that both looks and feels as natural as possible.
