Facial Trauma

Restore Facial Function and Aesthetics

Facial trauma includes any sort of traumatic injury to the head, neck, mouth, or face. These types of injuries require attention from a skilled surgeon who specializes in evaluating and surgically correcting any problems. Oral surgeons receive this type of training during residency, and Dr. Koshgerian and Dr. Shelton are specially trained to treat cases involving facial trauma.

Types of Facial Trauma
