Emergency Oral Surgery

We treat a wide variety of facial injuries, including lacerations to the skin or inside the mouth, broken or fractured bones in the face (such as the cheek, jaw, or eye socket), and avulsed (knocked-out) teeth. We also manage complex injuries affecting facial nerves, salivary glands, and ducts. Our approach is to repair the physical injury, minimize visible scarring, and support long-term facial function.

Surgery is often necessary to properly align and stabilize the fractured bones. We use advanced techniques like rigid fixation, which involves placing small plates and screws to hold the bones in place. This method speeds up recovery and often eliminates the need to wire your jaw shut. However, each case is unique, and the specific treatment will depend on the location and severity of your fracture and your overall health.

The recovery period depends on the severity of the injury and the type of treatment required. Minor injuries, such as soft tissue lacerations, can heal within a couple of weeks. However, more complex fractures or injuries involving surgery might take weeks to months to recover fully.
