When you have experienced serious injury to your face or jaw, the kind that fractures or breaks bones or causes tooth loss, then we can help. Our team has the experience and skills to rebuild smiles and replace missing teeth. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral and maxillofacial surgeons talk about treating facial trauma!
Our Expertise
We have expertise in helping treat patients with facial trauma and lacerations. Our doctors work on the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital Trauma Team, and have helped rebuild serious damage or facial structures and the jaw. They follow the same strict guidelines and protocols as a hospital operating room. When you see our team, we will carefully examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of the injury. We then plan the treatment in detail, so you obtain personalized care that is designed to not only improve overall health and function, but to ensure better facial beauty too, so you can feel proud of your new results.
Ensuring a Comfortable Treatment Experience
To assess the state of your smile and face, we will use advanced digital x-rays and CBCT imaging, so we can obtain high-definition and detailed images quickly and comfortably, which are then sent instantly to a chairside monitor so we can begin the planning and treatment process. We know that the idea of oral surgery can cause anxiety, which is why in addition to a local numbing agent, we can also offer dental sedation to help you enter a deep state of calm, with no memory of the procedure. We can provide oral sedation and even IV options so you enter a deep and sleep-like state of calm throughout the procedure.
Rebuilding Your Smile
We often start with the teeth. If you have lost natural teeth due to the injury, we can insert one or more dental implants to create a base from which we can rebuild your jaw and facial structure around. This helps us ensure results that look good, and also help prevent complications with bite imbalance and jaw joint strain. If you have any questions about how we treat facial trauma, or if you have serious injuries that need attention, then contact our team today to learn more. There is still time to see us before we take a break for the holidays, and you can use your 2024 dental insurance benefits before they expire at the end of the month.
