Facial Trauma

Treating facial trauma takes a special science and art that few can achieve.

Accidents happen, and when these accidents result in extensive damage to your teeth or jaws, the team of doctors at Hunter Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Centre can provide the care you need. Mostly for more severe facial injuries, you will present through an emergency department. For more simple injuries, your doctor may refer you directly to Hunter Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Centre. This may include traumas such as:

Facial lacerations
Intra oral lacerations
Avulsed (knocked out) teeth
Fractured facial bones (cheek, nose, or eye socket)
Fractured jaws (upper and lower jaw)

Accidents that result in any trauma can cause a high level of emotional and physical distress, and at Hunter Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Centre in Newcastle we are committed to making your recovery as smooth as possible. Our doctors have much experience and a detailed understanding of how treatment can influence the long term function and aesthetic nature of your face. Where healing has not been optimal, there may be options for further reconstructive treatment.
