Expert Care for Facial Injuries
From trauma to recovery—your healing begins here.
Restoring form, function, and confidence after a facial injury
Facial trauma—whether from a car accident, a fall, a sports injury, or another unexpected event—can be both painful and emotionally distressing. These injuries may range from simple cuts and bruises to more complex fractures involving the cheekbones, jaw, eye sockets, or nose. Damage to the teeth, gums, or jaw joints (TMJ) can also affect how you bite, speak, and smile.
Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons are highly trained in diagnosing and repairing all types of facial injuries. Examples include jaw (mandibular) fracture repair, cheekbone (zygomatic) and eye socket (orbital) fracture reconstruction, nasal bone realignment, repair of soft tissue lacerations, and treatment of dental trauma such as knocked-out or broken teeth. Using advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art imaging, we work to restore facial balance, function, and appearance while minimizing scarring and discomfort.
We understand that any facial injury can have lasting physical and emotional effects. From the first evaluation to full recovery, our team provides compassionate care focused on helping you heal—inside and out.

Step-by-Step Process:
- Evaluation & Diagnosis

A personalized plan is developed to address both functional and cosmetic concerns, whether the injury involves fractures, soft tissue lacerations, or dental trauma. - Surgical Repair
Depending on the type and severity of injury, surgical repair may include repositioning fractured bones, stabilizing with plates or screws, repairing soft tissues, or replacing damaged teeth.
- Post-Operative Care
You’ll receive detailed instructions for wound care, medications, diet, and activity restrictions. Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and recovery. - Recovery & Rehabilitation
Recovery times vary by injury. Many patients begin to feel significantly better within a few weeks, though complete healing may take longer. Rehabilitation may include physical therapy, dental restoration, or scar care as needed.
