Specialized Care When Facial Injuries Need Expert Attention
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in treating facial trauma. Because the face can be injured in many ways, reconstruction is often necessary.
For example, facial injuries can result from accidents, falls, automobile crashes, or interpersonal violence. These injuries may include lacerations, fractured teeth, broken jaws, or damaged facial bones. In addition, teeth may be knocked out or soft tissue may be injured inside the mouth.

Explore the specialized services Eastern Virginia OMS provides to help restore function, replace missing teeth, and address teeth that require surgical removal.
Soft Tissue
Injuries
These injuries can include cuts or tears to the skin, as well as damage to the gums and other soft tissues inside the mouth. Depending on the injury, treatment may involve repairing the affected area to support proper healing.
Avulsed
Teeth
When a tooth is completely knocked out, prompt treatment is important. The tissues, nerves, and blood vessels can become damaged, and getting the tooth treated as quickly as possible may improve the chances of saving it.
Bony
Injuries
These injuries involve fractures to structures such as the cheekbones, jaw, eye sockets, palate, or nose. Depending on the type and severity of the fracture, treatment may be needed to stabilize the affected bones.
Special
Regions
Some facial injuries can affect more complex structures, including facial nerves, the eyes, or the salivary glands. These injuries may require careful evaluation to determine the appropriate treatment and next steps.
Reasons for Facial Trauma Reconstruction
Facial reconstruction is important for both appearance and health. Even minor injuries can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Therefore, no facial injury should be ignored.
In some cases, injuries can affect breathing, speech, or swallowing. As a result, timely treatment is critical.
Broken facial bones are often treated in an emergency room. However, dental injuries can usually be treated quickly by a dentist.
If facial trauma is not treated, it can lead to several long-term problems:
- Loss of function: Damaged teeth may become loose. As a result, chewing and speaking can become difficult.
- Smile aesthetics: Chipped, broken, or missing teeth can affect your smile. However, a dentist can repair or replace damaged teeth.
- Bite and jaw issues: Trauma can shift teeth out of alignment. This may lead to TMJ disorders, uneven wear, and other complications.
