Facial Injuires

Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in treating all types of facial injuries involving the mouth, face and jaw. These range from facial cuts and lacerations to more serious problems such as broken teeth and facial bones. Bone fractures can involve the lower jaw, upper jaw, palate, cheekbones and eye sockets. These injuries often occur during an automobile accident, sports or recreational activity, fight or assault, work-related task, project around the house or accidental fall. Many patients with facial injuries are first seen in the emergency room and then referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for further treatment.
