Facial Trauma Procedures

Facial trauma presents in diverse ways, each necessitating a tailored surgical approach. During your consultation with Dr. Gilbert, you'll receive detailed insights into the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs.

• Facial Reconstruction: Following initial trauma management, reconstructive procedures aim to restore both aesthetic appearance and functional capabilities. These may include techniques such as bone grafting and soft tissue augmentation.
• Avulsed Teeth: Knocked-out teeth can often be reinserted if surrounding conditions permit, addressing immediate dental concerns.
• Maxillary Fractures (Upper Jaw): Fractures in the upper jaw may require surgical intervention to ensure proper alignment and stability. Surgical methods, including the use of plates and screws, may be used.
• Complex Cases: Extensive facial trauma affecting multiple regions may necessitate comprehensive surgical interventions, such as procedures addressing panfacial fractures, ensuring coordinated stabilization and reconstruction..
• Closed Reduction: Non-surgical approaches like closed reduction can be effective for certain nasal fractures, involving the manipulation of bones into alignment without external incisions.
• Open Reduction: Severe cheekbone fractures may require surgical correction through open reduction techniques, involving incisions for precise realignment using hardware like plates and screws.
• Mandibular Fracture: Surgical management may be necessary to stabilize and align fractures of the mandible, employing techniques such as plate fixation, screw insertion, or wiring for bone stabilization
