The Risks of Facial Trauma
When you sustain a severe injury to your face or jaw, this can cause major problems for your daily life. For example, this could alter the appearance of your face or smile, impact how you eat and sspeak, and lead to discomfort and even related complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism. When you sustain serious injuries to your face, then our team could offer treatment. As mentioned above, our doctors have experience in handling complex facial injuries, working with the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital Trauma Team.
Planning Treatment
When you arrive, we will employ advanced digital imaging to take detailed x-ray and panoramic images of your smile. We want to assess the severity of your injuries so we can plan treatment in detail. We want to not only repair the damaged or fractured facial bones and missing teeth, but we want to ensure better facial esthetics too. We can treat serious lacerations and injuries to ensure your smile looks good and helps you feel confident. To ensure you are comfortable during treatment, our team will offer local anesthesia and also sedation, so you enter a deep state of calm and relaxation, even if you have anxiety.
Rebuilding Your Smile
To begin, we will usually address any missing teeth with dental implants. By repositioning your missing teeth and inserting dental implants, we can rebuild your smile and then restructure the facial bones to ensure better bite balance and improve facial esthetics. This framework ensures optimal results! Our team can also conduct jaw surgery to address fractures or broken bones and restore them into their proper position. If needed, we can also work alongside your general dentist and orthodontist as part of the process. Every smile is unique, which is why we offer a customized approach.
If you have any questions about our approach to treating complex facial trauma, then contact our team today to get started. We want to help you smile with confidence and enjoy good oral health and bite function again!
