Facial trauma can affect more than your physical health — it can deeply impact your emotional wellbeing and self-confidence. At Petaluma Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, we understand the sensitive nature of these injuries and are committed to helping you heal with compassion, expertise and personalized care. Whether your injury is minor or complex, our oral surgeons and team are highly trained to treat and restore both function and aesthetics.
Common Causes & Types of Facial Trauma
Facial injuries may occur due to a variety of incidents, including motor vehicle collisions, sports accidents, falls, physical assaults or workplace injuries. These events can lead to damage involving the bones, skin, soft tissues or teeth. Common facial trauma cases we treat include:
- Facial lacerations
- Intraoral cuts and soft tissue injuries
- Knocked-out or displaced teeth
- Fractured cheekbones, jawbones or eye sockets
- Nasal fractures
- Multiple complex fractures affecting the facial structure
Injuries may involve only one type of tissue or multiple regions, which is why it is essential to receive care from a team experienced in comprehensive facial trauma repair.
Expert Treatment Tailored to Your Needs
Dr. Jiries Mogannam, Dr. Vicente Chavez, Dr. Christopher Chow and Dr. William Verlinden evaluate each injury carefully to determine the most appropriate course of treatment. For soft tissue injuries, we use precise suturing techniques to promote healing and reduce visible scarring. For bone fractures, we may use wires, screws or plates to stabilize and support the healing process. When dental injuries are involved, we work closely with your general dentist or other specialists to address tooth replacement or restoration needs.
Some facial trauma procedures may require hospital-based surgery, particularly in emergency or complex cases. However, many injuries can be treated in our outpatient surgical facility with advanced technology and the highest standards of safety.
