Facial Trauma
Compassionate, Skilled Care When It Matters Most
Facial trauma refers to injuries to the face, mouth, or jaws caused by accidents, sports, falls, or physical assault. These injuries not only affect function—such as speaking, breathing, and chewing—but can also significantly impact appearance and self-esteem.
Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons are specially trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of facial injuries, from simple lacerations to complex fractures. We use advanced techniques and work closely with medical and dental professionals to restore both form and function, always prioritizing comfort, aesthetics, and long-term outcomes.
