A facial injury can happen in an instant — a car accident, a fall, a sports collision, or an unexpected blow — and the moments that follow are often filled with uncertainty about what kind of care is needed and where to find it. Facial trauma involves the bones, soft tissue, and structures of the face and jaw, and when those structures are damaged, prompt evaluation and the right surgical expertise are what protect both your function and your appearance.
Haratz Dental in Aventura provides facial trauma surgical evaluation and care for patients throughout Bal Harbour and the surrounding South Florida area. Call us today at (786) 433-5232 to learn more and schedule an appointment.
How Common Is Facial Trauma?
Facial injuries are far more prevalent than many people realize. A peer-reviewed study analyzing craniomaxillofacial trauma across 83 U.S. health care organizations found that nasal bone fractures were the most common type, affecting more than half of all patients with facial fractures, and that facial trauma volumes have been consistently significant both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Motor vehicle collisions, falls, athletic injuries, and assaults remain the most common causes of facial injury, affecting patients across a broad range of ages and backgrounds. Prompt evaluation of facial trauma is important not just for cosmetic reasons, but because untreated fractures and soft tissue injuries can lead to lasting functional problems, including difficulties with chewing, breathing, bite alignment, and jaw movement. Knowing where to turn for qualified surgical care can make a meaningful difference in both short- and long-term outcomes.“Prompt evaluation of facial trauma can make a meaningful difference in both short- and long-term outcomes.”
Types of Facial Injuries We Treat
Facial trauma takes many forms, and the appropriate treatment depends on the location, severity, and extent of the injury. Some injuries involve only soft tissue and can be addressed with careful closure and wound management, while others require surgical repair of fractured bone. The following are among the most common types of facial trauma Dr. Rand evaluates and treats:- Jaw Fractures. Breaks to the mandible or maxilla affecting bite, jaw movement, and alignment.
- Orbital Fractures. Injuries to the bony socket surrounding the eye, often caused by blunt force impact.
- Nasal Fractures. The most frequent facial fracture, sometimes requiring surgical realignment to restore function and form.
- Zygomatic Fractures. Breaks to the cheekbone area that can affect the contour of the mid-face.
- Soft Tissue Lacerations. Cuts and tears to the skin and gum tissue of the facial region requiring careful closure.
- Dental Injuries from Trauma. Fractured, displaced, or knocked-out teeth requiring tooth extraction or restoration planning.
“Every injury is unique, and Dr. Rand conducts a thorough evaluation before recommending a treatment approach.”
What Facial Trauma Treatment Involves
Treatment for facial trauma varies based on what structures have been affected. Soft tissue injuries are typically addressed with meticulous closure to minimize scarring and restore normal tissue integrity. Facial fractures may be managed conservatively if displacement is minimal, or surgically with fixation hardware to stabilize fractured segments and restore normal anatomy. Jaw fractures specifically may require occlusal evaluation to ensure the bite relationship is preserved throughout healing. For patients whose injuries involve the teeth or underlying bone, additional considerations may include dental implant surgery to replace lost teeth, or bone grafting to rebuild areas where bone was compromised.
