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.

I was referred to Dr. Tow by my dentist, and from the moment I stepped into his Beverly Hills office, I felt a sense of calm. The earthy, thoughtfully designed space melts away the usual dental anxiety - it feels more like a peaceful sanctuary than a medical practice. The entire visit was seamless, and the city views from the examination room were an added bonus.

Dr. Tow is the kind of doctor who makes you feel truly seen. He is warm, attentive, and genuinely conversational, with a rare ability to put you at ease without ever seeming rushed. He listened carefully to all of my questions and concerns, then took the time to walk me through every aspect of the procedure in clear, understandable terms. What impressed me most was his patience. I went back and forth on my decision countless times, overthinking every detail, and not once did he make me feel like a burden. He remained calm, supportive, and completely nonjudgmental, encouraging me to take all the time I needed. That level of respect and compassion is something you rarely encounter in healthcare today.

Dr. Tow is not only exceptionally skilled as an oral surgeon, but also someone you can fully trust. He combines top-tier expertise with genuine kindness in a way that transforms a stressful experience into a positive one. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you’re looking for an oral surgeon who treats you like a person, not just a patient, Dr. Tow is the one.

Dr Tow and staff were warm, caring, organized and conscientious.. I came in for a consult after TMJ arthrocentesis to discuss a possible TMJ joint replacement. Dr Tow reviewed my complex history and records, He asked about my personal TMJ experience and listened to my primary concerns. He examined my TMJ joint and related muscle and nerve conditions thoroughly. He explained imaging results and discussed pros and cons of treatment options. He provided resources, education and recommendations that left me with a renewed sense of hope and confidence in his expertise.

I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out and Dr. Tow was incredible! Not only did he do a great job, my favorite thing about his care was the follow up. He let me come in whenever I was worried about how I was recovering and always assured me I was healing in the right way. He really cares about his patients and made me feel so safe, which is so important when getting such a massive surgery. 10/10

 I had a great experience with Dr. Tow and his entire team. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, supportive, and reassuring.

I underwent a surgical wisdom tooth extraction where the tooth was still in the gum, done with only local anesthetic, so I was understandably very anxious. Dr. Tow was calm, professional, and took excellent care of me throughout the procedure, which made a huge difference.

I unfortunately developed dry socket afterward and had to return a few days later, but once again I was very well looked after. Dr. Tow took the time to check everything thoroughly and provided treatments to help with the healing and discomfort.

I highly recommend Los Angeles Oral and Facial Surgery — truly five-star care from start to finish.
