What is Maxillofacial Trauma?
Maxillofacial trauma involves facial injuries that can lead to issues such as tooth avulsion, cracked teeth, gum damage, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. At Mattydale Oral & Facial Surgery, we provide prompt, expert care to preserve your oral health and smile. Dr. Matthews specializes in treating a range of injuries, from minor tooth damage to severe trauma, including facial bone fractures and complex soft tissue wounds. These injuries often result from auto accidents, violence, sports, or falls.

Candidates for maxillofacial surgery include those with minor to severe injuries affecting their oral structures. Dr. Matthews frequently treats facial lacerations, damaged or knocked-out teeth, and fractures of the jaw, cheekbones, and bones around the eyes, forehead, and sinuses. With extensive training in reconstructing bones, soft tissues, and nerves, Dr. Matthews works to restore both function and aesthetics. Using advanced tools and techniques, he aims to preserve facial structures for the most natural-looking results.

How are Oral and Facial Injuries Treated?
Your treatment will be tailored to your specific needs, with some injuries managed in our office and others best treated at a hospital or surgical facility. We begin by assessing your age, the nature and severity of your trauma, and the location of the injury to create a personalized treatment plan. We’ll also discuss any medical conditions, current medications, and health concerns. After running diagnostics, we’ll design a plan to restore the function and appearance of your face, jaw, and mouth. For more complex cases, we may collaborate with your dentist or other specialists to provide comprehensive care. To ensure your comfort, we’ll review sedation options available in our office.

What Can I Expect During Facial Trauma Recovery?
Recovery will depend on your specific injury and treatment. After your procedure, our team will provide post-operative instructions to support proper healing of incision sites. If additional treatment is needed, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to remove any stabilization devices and monitor your progress. For certain traumas, we may work with a restorative dentist or other specialists to address cosmetic and functional needs. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions during your recovery.
Is Maxillofacial Trauma Care Covered by Insurance?
Insurance coverage varies by plan, as this procedure is often considered medically necessary. Our Insurance Specialist Team will contact your provider to confirm and review your specific coverage, then provide an estimate and discuss your payment options. To ensure our patients receive the care they need, we offer convenient payment plans and accept financing through CareCredit® and Lenders Club. CareCredit features an easy application with a soft credit check that doesn’t affect your credit score, allowing multiple financing companies to compete to support your healthcare investment.
