"Can you explain facial fractures and the healing process?"

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in treating facial trauma.

When the opposing segments of bone are brought close enough together, they heal quickly. New bone is actually generated between the two segments and the bond can be stronger than before the trauma.

Fractures can be treated in a variety of ways.  Sometimes small titanium plates can be used to fix the bones in the correct position.  In some cases of jaw fractures, the teeth may need to be wired together for two to six weeks.

Call Greater Louisville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates at (502) 459-8012 quickly following your facial injury for immediate treatment.
