What is facial trauma?
Facial trauma refers to any injury to the face, jaw, or mouth that affects function, appearance, or both. These injuries can result from accidents, falls, sports impacts, or violence, and they often carry both physical and emotional weight. At Los Angeles Oral & Facial Surgery, we treat facial trauma with precision and empathy. Dr. Tow is trained in both dentistry and medicine, with hands-on experience managing soft tissue injuries, broken facial bones, and complex reconstructive cases. Our goal is to restore form and function while providing a sense of security and calm during a vulnerable time.
The benefits of facial trauma treatment
Restore facial symmetry and function
Facial trauma can distort features and limit movement. Reconstructive care aims to reestablish balance and confidence.
Minimize long-term complications
Early intervention reduces the risk of infection, bone loss, nerve damage, and misaligned healing that could otherwise lead to chronic issues.
Surgical expertise in complex cases
Dr. Tow’s background in oral and maxillofacial surgery allows him to manage advanced injuries that general practitioners may refer out.
The facial trauma treatment process
1
Initial triage and imaging
We begin with a detailed clinical evaluation and a CBCT scan to assess the full extent of the damage. Facial injuries are often more complex than they appear on the surface, so our diagnostics are thorough from the start.
2
Stabilization and care planning
Some injuries require immediate stabilization, especially fractures involving the jaw or orbital bones. Once stable, we plan the surgical approach using digital scans and 3D modeling to ensure accurate reconstruction.
3
Surgical intervention
Dr. Tow performs all procedures in a surgical suite equipped for IV sedation and general anesthesia. Depending on the nature of the trauma, treatment may involve fracture fixation, soft tissue repair, or bone grafting.
4
Monitoring and healing
Our team tracks post-op healing closely and adjusts care as needed. We also provide long-term follow-up for patients with complex trauma to ensure proper integration of grafts or hardware and to monitor functional recovery.
Precision care that restores confidence
FAQ's
We manage a wide range of trauma, including jaw fractures, soft tissue lacerations, orbital injuries, dental trauma, and facial bone displacement. Complex cases involving multiple systems are also treated in-office.
If you’re bleeding heavily, have lost consciousness, or suspect a concussion, go to the emergency room immediately. For injuries involving the mouth, jaw, or facial bones, we can often provide more specialized care, especially once you’re medically stable.
Facial trauma should be evaluated quickly to reduce complications and preserve long-term function. Even if symptoms seem mild, underlying fractures or soft tissue injuries may not be immediately obvious.
