11 Jul Treating Facial Injuries And Trauma
When you sustain an injury to your face that causes tooth loss or damages bone structure, this could lead to a host of oral health complications in the years to come. But with treatment, we can correct your facial trauma and safeguard your smile’s health and appearance. With our team at Charlottesville Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Centers, we can offer stunning results with oral and facial surgery.
Our Examination and Planning Process
Our team is ready to take on a host of serious injuries to the face and jaw, including broken or fractured jaws and facial bones, lacerations in the face, soft tissue injuries in the inside of the mouth, and knocked-out teeth. Our team will first assess the cause and severity of these issues by taking detailed images with digital x-rays and 3D CBCT imaging. These systems use a fraction of the radiation that traditional imaging systems do, and provide the pictures instantly chairside. We can then evaluate these high-definition images and make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy, planning your treatment in detail.
Treating Your Facial Trauma
We will create a comprehensive treatment plan to address the injuries and repair the trauma in your face and jaw. Every smile is unique, which is why we take such a personalized approach. Our team can help reset and fix fractured and broken bones, and provide surgical repair for soft tissues injuries. If you have lost teeth, we can replace them with dental implants, which look and function like natural teeth, providing decades of tooth replacement. To ensure you are comfortable during treatment, we will provide local anesthesia and sedation, so you remain calm and relaxed even if you have dental anxiety. We will monitor your healing progress with follow-up visits as well, and may work alongside general dentists, orthodontists, and other specialists.
Steps to Prevent Future Injuries
Our team can also discuss preventive actions to limit the risk of future injuries. For example, always buckle up when riding in a car or driving, and avoid driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol to minimize risks. Make sure your home is organized and free of tripping hazards, and when playing full contact sports, be sure you wear a custom mouthguard to reduce the risk of injuries or knocked-out teeth.
