Facial Injuries that are Traumatic
Traumatic facial and oral injuries can occur due to various reasons, with automobile accidents being the most frequent cause. Other common factors include sports injuries, falls, domestic violence, and work-related accidents. Treatment for these injuries may involve complex surgery to repair facial and oral structures, address functional issues, and reduce the risk of long-term disfigurement. Our skilled surgeons are experienced in providing advanced care for these conditions, offering emotional support and guidance throughout the treatment process to ensure you receive comprehensive and compassionate care.
Common Facial Trauma Conditions
Here are some of the most common facial and oral trauma conditions:
- Knocked out teeth
- Fractures in the upper and lower jaw
- Cuts on the face and inside the mouth
- Fractures in the nose, cheek, or eye socket
Treatment Options for Oral and Facial Reconstruction
Our surgeons provide a variety of treatment options for patients who have experienced oral or facial traumatic injuries. Dr. Golding and Dr. Sabol specialize in delivering personalized and precise care to ensure optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes for each patient.
We offer a variety of oral and facial reconstruction treatment options, such as:
Corrective Oral Surgery
Corrective and reconstructive jaw surgery may be necessary for jaws that have been displaced due to facial impact. Trauma to the jaws can lead to functional issues such as difficulty chewing, swallowing, and speaking, as well as imbalanced facial features and chronic headaches. Our experienced surgeons specialize in corrective jaw surgery to help patients address these concerns following jaw trauma.
Soft Tissue, Bone, and Dental Repair
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a successful treatment option for injuries to the teeth, soft tissues, and bones of the face. Our surgeons are skilled in precise suturing techniques for lacerations, considering facial nerves and aesthetics. We also use advanced techniques for bone and dental repair to effectively treat fractures and other injuries that impact both function and appearance.
Dental Implants
Our practice specializes in dental implants, which are durable replacements for missing teeth. This treatment involves carefully inserting titanium posts into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These posts will fuse with the bone, allowing custom dental crowns to be attached to create natural-looking and functioning teeth. Learn more about our dental implant treatments here.
