Types of Facial Trauma We Treat
Our oral and maxillofacial surgeon is trained to treat facial injuries involving the bones, muscles, and soft tissues of the face. Common types of trauma we address include:
- Facial bone fractures, including cheekbones, eye sockets, and the upper or lower jaw
- Mandibular fractures (broken jaw)
- Maxillary fractures (upper jaw)
- Dental injuries, such as avulsed (knocked-out) or fractured teeth
- Facial lacerations and soft tissue injuries
- Injuries resulting from car accidents or sports impacts
- TMJ dislocation or trauma
If dental damage occurs alongside facial injuries, we can coordinate treatment with our dental implants team to restore missing or severely damaged teeth.

- Suturing and repair of facial lacerations for minimal scarring
- Jaw surgery to correct fractures or bite misalignment
