When you have a serious injury to your face, jaw, or teeth, this damage and lacerations could lead to esthetic issues and also complicate how you eat and speak. To correct these concerns, and to do so comfortably, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral and maxillofacial surgeons could provide treatment for facial trauma.
The Causes and Complications of Trauma
Facial trauma could occur due to an accident, sports injury, or a number of other situations. They could include minor damage, such as a chipped tooth your general dentist could address, or severe breakage and facial lacerations that you need oral surgery to correct. In some cases, they could lead to missing teeth and damaged to your jaw and oral structures, which in turn increases the risk of pain and discomfort when eating, the onset of complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (chronic teeth grinding), and the breakdown of your jawbone tissue, leading to issues with your facial structure.
Planning Your Treatment Plan
Every smile is different, and every case of trauma is different too. Which means we need to plan your treatment with precision and accuracy. To do so, we will use digital CBCT imaging systems to gather x-ray images, and other technologies to examine the surface of your smile with greater detail. We will be able to see issues invisible to the naked eye, and better assess the state of your injuries.
