Facial Trauma

Facial injuries, caused by accidents, sports mishaps, or other events, can lead to substantial physical and emotional strain. At Oral Surgery + Monroe, our skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of facial injuries to restore function, appearance, and self-assurance.

Types of Facial Injuries:

• Facial injuries can involve a broad spectrum of damages, including:
  • Breaks in the jaw, cheekbones, nose, or eye socket bones.
  • Soft tissue damage like cuts, bruises, or tissue tears.
  • Dental injuries including broken or moved teeth.
  • Jaw joint (TMJ) damage or dislocations.
  • Nose fractures or deviated septums.

Our Treatment Strategy:

• Urgent Care: In instances of serious facial injury, immediate medical attention may be needed. Our team is prepared to handle urgent cases and will provide quick assessment and treatment to stabilize the patient.
• Detailed Assessment: After stabilization, our oral surgeons will perform a complete examination of the degree of facial injuries using advanced imaging tools like CT scans or X-rays.
• Customized Treatment Approach: Based on the assessment results, we will create a tailored treatment plan suited to the patient’s specific needs and objectives. This may involve surgical procedures to fix fractures, restore dental function, or treat soft tissue damage.
• Surgical Procedures: Our experienced surgeons use modern techniques to perform reconstructive surgery, including open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), bone grafts, soft tissue repair, and dental implant placement as needed.
• After-Surgery Care: We provide thorough after-surgery care instructions to promote healing and reduce complications. Our team will carefully track the patient’s progress with follow-up appointments to ensure optimal recovery and results.
