Understanding of Facial Trauma

Expert Care for Complex Facial Injuries

Facial trauma can involve injuries to the bones, muscles, nerves, and skin of the face, often caused by accidents, sports, altercations, or surgical complications. These injuries can be both physically and emotionally challenging. At Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Dr. Harriman and our skilled team are dedicated to treating facial trauma with care and expertise, focusing on restoring both function and appearance.

We understand the impact these injuries can have on a patient’s well-being, and we create personalized treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs. You will receive expert care that not only addresses immediate concerns but also supports their long-term oral and facial health. Our comprehensive approach helps patients recover fully, improving their quality of life and confidence.

Soft Tissue Injuries

For soft tissue injuries like facial cuts or lacerations, precise repair is crucial to achieve the best cosmetic and functional outcomes. At Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, our experienced surgeons take great care in suturing wounds to minimize scarring and promote effective healing. We also thoroughly assess and treat any underlying damage to critical structures like facial nerves, salivary glands, or ducts to ensure complete recovery.

Bone Injuries

Facial bone fractures require specialized treatment to restore both form and function. Unlike fractures in other parts of the body, facial injuries often rely on advanced techniques rather than traditional casts. For example, some jaw fractures may need temporary wiring, while more complex cases benefit from rigid fixation, where small plates and screws are used for stabilization. This approach ensures precise healing, shortens recovery time, and eliminates the need for prolonged wiring, making the process smoother for patients.

Injuries to the Face and Surrounding Structures

Dental injuries, fractures, or tooth loss are common in facial trauma. Our team specializes in addressing these issues, from replanting knocked-out teeth to stabilizing fractures. Prompt care is key, and we emphasize quick action—placing an avulsed tooth in saline or milk and seeking immediate attention can make a significant difference. When teeth cannot be saved, we offer reliable solutions like dental implants to restore smiles. Additionally, we collaborate with endodontists and restorative dentists to ensure a comprehensive approach to oral rehabilitation.

A Personal Touch

My son had his wisdom teeth removed last month. Dr. Harriman called me personally to schedule the appointment and explained the procedure and what to expect before during and after. The staff was so friendly and answered all my questions and after care. They called me that evening to check on him and a few days after. He did not have stitches so the site looked odd this was about 2 weeks after this was on a Friday I called the office and Dr. Harriman called me back right away. I sent him pictures and it was normal. But he offered to see him Saturday morning on his day off. I wasn't worried and everything turned out fine. I am so grateful for the kindness and attentiveness of the doctors and office staff at this office. I highly recommend them.

Where to Begin?

I don’t even know where to begin. I was referred here to get some extensive dental procedures done, and I have never felt more comfortable and well taken care of anywhere else. Dr. Harriman is extremely kind and caring. He is incredible at what he does! I have very high anxiety and he has always been so patient and supportive of what I needed. I truly cannot thank him and his staff for everything they have done for me. So thankful I was referred to him! Also big shout out to Shay one of the assistants there, she is also so incredibly kind and I also want to thank her for always being so helpful. She always makes me feel better when she is in the room with me! Thank you all so much!
