An oral and maxillofacial specialist is thoroughly qualified to treat facial injuries. Our office is well versed in emergency care, acute treatment, and long-term reconstruction and rehabilitation - not just for physical reasons, but for emotional ones as well. Injuries to the face, by their very nature, impart a high degree of emotional as well as physical trauma to patients. The science and art of treating these injuries requires special training involving a 'hands on' experience and an understanding of how the treatment provided will influence the patients long-term function and appearance.
