What is Facial Trauma?

At Casa Dentique, we specialize in diagnosing and treating facial trauma—a broad term referring to injuries to the face, which can affect the skin, soft tissues, bones, and teeth. Facial trauma can result from accidents, sports injuries, falls, or physical altercations, and its severity can range from minor cuts to complex fractures.

Facial trauma requires specialized care to restore both function and aesthetics, ensuring proper healing of the injured structures while minimizing scarring and long-term complications.

The Detailed Facial Trauma Treatment Procedure at Casa Dentique

At Casa Dentique, we follow a comprehensive approach to facial trauma care, ensuring that each patient receives individualized treatment to restore both appearance and function. Here’s a detailed overview of the steps involved in managing facial trauma:

1. Initial Evaluation and Diagnosis

The first step in treating facial trauma is a thorough assessment of the injury, which includes:

  • Clinical Examination: Our team will examine the visible injuries, assess your symptoms, and check for structural damage.
  • Imaging Tests: We use X-rays, CT scans, and 3D imaging to get a detailed view of any fractures or internal damage. This allows us to develop an accurate treatment plan.
  • Dental Evaluation: If your teeth are damaged or displaced, we will also assess the dental structures and any potential need for repair.

Based on this evaluation, we will create a customized treatment plan tailored to the severity of the injury.

2. Immediate Care and Stabilization

In cases of severe trauma, the first priority is to stabilize the injury:

  • Controlling Bleeding: For lacerations or open wounds, we control bleeding using sutures or bandaging.
  • Protecting the Airway: If there is swelling or fractures near the mouth or throat, we take steps to ensure proper breathing.
  • Pain Management: Pain relief medications are administered to keep you comfortable during the initial phase of treatment.

For more severe injuries, we may schedule surgical intervention after stabilization.

3. Fracture Repair and Realignment

If facial bones are fractured, repair is crucial to restore both function and aesthetics. The steps involved in fracture treatment depend on the location and severity of the break:

  • Jaw Fractures (Mandibular Fractures): These often require repositioning the jawbone and using plates, screws, or wires to hold the bone in place. In some cases, the jaw may need to be wired shut temporarily for healing.
  • Cheekbone (Zygomatic) and Eye Socket Fractures: These fractures can impact facial symmetry and vision. We realign the bones and may use surgical plates to stabilize the area.
  • Nasal Fractures: A broken nose may require manual.
