santa rosa facial traumaFacial trauma refers to damaged or lost teeth, or breakage and injury to the jaw and cheek bones. You could also develop facial lacerations and other injuries. Our team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons have experience in treating these concerns and restoring beauty and function to your smile. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons talk about how we address trauma.

The Dangers of Ignoring Treatment

When you injure your face, this could cause problems with the balance and bite of your smile. The injuries could also impact the appearance of your face as well. Over time, the factors could lead to jaw joint disorders and worsening discomfort, causing the onset of TMJ disorder or bruxism, and impacting how well you eat and speak. Our team is experienced in addressing minor and severe cases of facial trauma, restoring your smile and facial structure to optimal health, function, and beauty. You may find yourself referred to us, or following an injury, you may find us online. Either way, we’re ready to help you and even work alongside your general dentist as well.

Planning Your Care

First, we want to understand the factors behind your accident and to take a series of detailed images of your entire head and face with CBCT technology. These digital images show us everything in the jaw and face, and use a fraction of the radiation employed by traditional systems. From there, we can plan your procedure with precision and accuracy, ensuring each step is tailored specifically to your case.

Restoring Your Smile

Treatment could involve repositioning the teeth to address oral function, or removing severely damaged ones and replacing them with dental implants. Once your teeth are in proper position, we have a framework to begin correcting the positions of your facial bones. This helps ensure good overall esthetics, and better oral health as well. We know that every smile is different, which is why we take a personalized approach to your care. If you have any questions about how we address trauma and injuries, then please don’t hesitate to give us a call. There is still time to schedule an appointment with us, which could allow you to use your 2021 dental insurance benefits before they expire at midnight on December 31st.
