What counts as facial trauma?

Facial trauma includes any injury to the soft tissue, bones, or teeth of the face, such as facial lacerations, broken noses, cheekbone or jaw fractures, and knocked-out or damaged teeth, often from accidents, falls, sports, or assaults.

Should I see an oral surgeon for a facial injury?

For injuries involving the facial bones, jaw, or teeth, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon has the specialized training to repair both the structure and the appearance of your face. For severe or emergency injuries, seek emergency care first.

Will facial trauma surgery leave scars?

Dr. Stone repairs soft tissue injuries with techniques that minimize visible scarring, and bone work is often done through hidden or internal incisions. The goal is to restore your natural appearance as fully as possible.

Does insurance cover facial trauma treatment?

Because facial trauma treatment is typically medically necessary, insurance often covers part or all of it. Coverage varies by plan and circumstance, and our team can help you understand your benefits.

How long is recovery after facial trauma surgery?

Recovery depends on the type and severity of the injury, from a few weeks for soft tissue repair to longer for complex fractures. Dr. Stone gives you a clear timeline and follows your healing at every step.

Can facial trauma affect how my face looks long term?

Untreated or poorly treated facial injuries can change the structure and appearance of your face. Proper surgical repair aims to restore both function and your natural look, which is why specialized care matters.

What Is Facial Trauma Treatment?

Your face shapes how you look, eat, speak, and connect with the world. When an injury damages it, the right surgical care can restore both its function and its appearance. Facial trauma treatment covers the repair of injuries to the soft tissue, bones, and teeth of the face.

These injuries often come from car accidents, falls, sports, or work-related incidents. The right treatment, and the recovery time, depends on the severity of the trauma. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon trained in trauma care, Dr. Stone treats these injuries with both surgical precision and an eye for restoring your natural appearance.
