Facial fracture repair is a surgical procedure performed to restore the normal structure and function of broken facial bones. At London Dental Specialists, our oral and maxillofacial surgeons use advanced techniques to repair fractures in the jaw, cheekbones, eye sockets, nose, and forehead. The procedure typically involves realigning the broken bones and securing them with small metal plates and screws designed to be permanent fixtures that provide stability during healing.
Facial fractures are typically caused by significant trauma to the face. Common causes include:
The severity and location of facial fractures depend on the force and direction of impact, which determines the treatment approach our specialists at London Dental Specialists will recommend.
At London Dental Specialists, facial fractures are typically repaired using small metal plates which are screwed into place on each side of the fracture. These plates are designed to be permanent and provide stability while the bone heals. In some cases, surgery may be performed in stages to achieve optimal results. The specific approach depends on the location and severity of the fracture, with our specialists customising the treatment plan for each patient's unique situation.
Recovery from facial fracture repair varies depending on the extent of the trauma and the specific procedure performed. Most patients notice that swelling and bruising significantly reduce after about two weeks. However, complete recovery typically takes between 6-12 weeks. During your consultation at London Dental Specialists, our surgeons will provide a personalised timeline based on your specific case and healing factors.
After facial fracture repair at London Dental Specialists, you can expect:
Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions and remains available to address any concerns during your recovery.
During recovery from facial fracture repair, we recommend:
While facial fracture repair at London Dental Specialists is generally safe and effective, potential complications may include infection, plate discomfort, nerve damage, asymmetry, or malocclusion (bite misalignment). Occasionally, the plates may become infected or break, requiring additional treatment. Our specialists take extensive precautions to minimise these risks and will discuss all potential complications during your consultation, along with how we work to prevent them.
At London Dental Specialists, our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimise visible scarring. Many facial fracture repairs can be performed using incisions inside the mouth, leaving no external scars. When external incisions are necessary, they are carefully placed within natural skin creases or hairlines. Most surgical scars fade significantly over time, and our team provides guidance on scar care to optimise aesthetic outcomes.
Return to normal activities follows a gradual timeline after facial fracture repair:
At London Dental Specialists, we provide personalised guidance on activity resumption based on your specific procedure and healing progress during follow-up appointments.
