Facial Trauma Procedures

Because facial trauma presents in various forms, each requires a specific intervention to achieve the ideal outcome. During your consultation with Dr. Davis, you'll get insight into the most suitable treatment option tailored to your specific concerns

• Facial Reconstruction: After addressing the initial trauma, reconstructive procedures may be performed to restore both aesthetics and functionality. Techniques such as bone grafting and soft tissue grafting may be utilized.
• Avulsed Teeth: Teeth that were displaced due to trauma can often be reimplanted if conditions surrounding the teeth are favorable.
• Maxillary Fractures (Upper Jaw): Fractures of the upper jaw may require surgical intervention to ensure proper alignment and stability. Methods such as the use of plates and screws might be employed.
• Complex Cases: Extensive facial trauma affecting multiple areas may necessitate comprehensive procedures to address panfacial fractures. This entails a coordinated approach to stabilize and reconstruct facial structures.
• Closed Reduction: Severe cheekbone fractures may require surgical intervention. Closed reduction entails making incisions to access and realign fractured bones, often using hardware such as plates and screws.
• Open Reduction: Severe cheekbone fractures may require surgical intervention. Open reduction entails making incisions to access and realign fractured bones, often using hardware such as plates and screws.
• Mandibular Fracture: Plates, screws, or wiring may be used to to secure bones in stabilizing and aligning mandibular fractures.
