Facial Trauma Surgery in Billerica, Westford & Worcester, MA

What Is Facial Trauma?

Facial trauma refers to any injury affecting the bones, teeth, or soft tissues of the face, including:

• Facial bone fractures (cheekbone, eye socket, nasal bones, jaw)
  
• Soft tissue lacerations
  
• Tooth and dental injuries
  
• Fractured or dislocated jaw
  
• Injuries involving the facial nerves or salivary glands
  

Prompt evaluation and treatment are essential to avoid long-term complications and ensure proper healing. As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, we are uniquely trained to manage injuries that affect both the cosmetic and functional structures of the face.

Common Facial Trauma Procedures We Perform

Our surgeons provide a range of surgical treatments, including:

• Facial bone fracture repair
  Repositioning and stabilizing broken facial bones using plates, screws, or wiring as needed.
  
• Soft tissue laceration repair
  Precision suturing of facial cuts to promote optimal healing with minimal scarring.
  
• Tooth and dental trauma
  Treatment of avulsed, fractured, or intruded teeth. Learn more on our Tooth Extractions page.
  
• Jaw fracture repair
  Stabilization of fractured mandibles and maxillae through open or closed reduction techniques. Visit our Jaw Surgery page for more details.
  
• Reconstruction after trauma

Our priority is to return both form and function to injured areas while minimizing long-term impact.
