How Facial Fracture Treatment Works

Precision Healing for Facial Bone Injuries

Facial fracture treatment begins with a thorough evaluation, including X-rays or CT scans to assess the severity and location of the fractures. Our experienced oral surgeons then develop a personalized treatment plan, which may involve surgery to realign the bones. Fixation methods such as plates and screws are used to stabilize the bones. Post-operative care includes managing swelling, pain, and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.

 

FAQs

What causes facial fractures?

Facial fractures are often caused by trauma such as car accidents, sports injuries, or falls.

Untreated fractures can lead to complications like misalignment, chronic pain, or difficulty eating and speaking.

Treatment may involve realigning the bones and securing them with plates, screws, or wires to promote healing.

Surgery is often necessary for fractures that are misaligned or affect the functionality of the facial structures.

Recovery time varies, but most facial fractures heal within 6–8 weeks, with follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
