1

Evaluation and diagnosis

The first step in treating facial or oral trauma is to have a consultation with an experienced oral surgeon at Alexandria Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. During this initial meeting, your doctor will examine the extent of the injury and assess any damage to the teeth, jaw, or surrounding structures. They understand that this can be a stressful and difficult time, and will take the time to answer any questions and address any concerns that the patient may have. They will review your medical records and take x-rays or other imaging tests that may be necessary to determine the best course of treatment.

2

Treatment planning and implementation

Once the evaluation is complete, your doctor will develop a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs. This may involve the use of dental appliances such as metal plates, tooth splints, or jaw wiring to provide support and stability during the healing process. The surgeon will explain the treatment options and work with you to develop a plan that you’re comfortable with.
