When you sustain a serious injury to your face, this could fracture jaw and facial bones, and even lead to missing teeth. You need care to rebuild the damage, care that not only addresses the damage and missing teeth, but your facial beauty too. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral and maxillofacial surgeons talk about correcting trauma.
When to Schedule a Visit
You may be referred to us by your doctor or general dentist, or if you sustain a serious facial injury, you could schedule an appointment for a dental exam. Our team will begin the process by looking at your medical records and carefully examining your smile with digital technology. This enables us to assess the cause and severity of your injuries, and plan treatment to restore your smile to optimal health, function, and beauty once again. Our team can treat fractured jaw and facial bones, facial lacerations, or teeth that have been knocked loose.
Planning Your Treatment
We will plan your treatment in detail. We have experience in hospital operating room scenarios, and are qualified to handle facial trauma. In fact, our doctors are part of the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital Trauma Team. We follow the same strict guidelines and protocols expected of a hospital operating room too. To ensure you’re comfortable, we can discuss local and general anesthesia, as well as dental sedation, choosing the right calming option for you based on your age, weight, medical history, medications you’re taking, and your anxiety levels. Every smile is unique, and we always take a personalized approach to your care.
Addressing Your Injuries
Our team always takes the appearance of your smile and face into account when we plan treatment, even if we’re handling complex facial lacerations. We know the esthetic outcome is important for you! We often start by repositioning the teeth or inserting dental implants, so we can create a framework to rebuild your smile around. This helps us repair and rebuild the facial and jaw bones, so these areas heal properly and your smile and facial structure look good afterward. If you have any questions about how our team treats facial trauma and ensure your comfort during oral surgery, then please reach out to our team today. We want to help you enjoy your best smile, and results that make you feel confident.
