Facial Trauma & Emergencies

Facial Trauma & Emergencies

The oral and maxillofacial surgeons at Heartland are specially trained to provide emergency care for victims of traumatic facial injuries. Commonly caused by car accidents, sports collisions, or acts of violence, damages from facial trauma may include:

  • Bone fractures of the cheek, jaw, eye socket, etc.
  • Facial burns
  • Lacerations inside and outside the mouth
  • Collapsed or narrowed airways
  • Knocked out teeth
  • Malocclusion (poor bite)

In most cases, these issues require immediate emergency attention, but there is no one-size-fits-all procedure for treating facial trauma. As with mouth reconstruction surgery, the extent of your facial trauma surgery will depend on the severity of the injuries.

Using minimally invasive surgical techniques, our facial trauma surgeons aim to prevent long-term health concerns and repair cosmetic damages. Rest assured, our team will work tirelessly to treat your facial trauma, allowing you to focus on what matters: recovering both physically and emotionally.

Using state-of-the-art surgical procedures, we help minimize scarring and facial asymmetry, as well as remedy current and future health concerns.
