Injuries to your face and head can be scary. Whether you were injured in a car accident or fall or due to oral trauma, the recovery process from facial trauma can be more emotional than other types of injuries. You may worry about permanent changes to your appearance or the health and function of your jaw and teeth.
When you’re facing a dental emergency or injury involving your jaw, cheekbones, or bones that support your teeth, you need an emergency oral surgeon near you who can provide the compassionate care you need to support you throughout your recovery process.
Kenneth Carey, DMD, OMFS, and our Heartland Oral Surgery and Dental Implants team provide urgent dental care and oral surgery to help you recover quickly and comfortably. We’re proud to support patients needing urgent oral surgery and emergency dentistry in Kearney, NE, and Grand Island, NE.
Whether you were injured in a car accident or fall or due to oral trauma, the recovery process from facial trauma can be more emotional than other types of injuries.
One of the most important goals of treating facial trauma is ensuring accurate, timely, and appropriate intervention. The outcomes of your urgent dental care or oral surgery depend on precise diagnostics and the expertise of a skilled surgeon.
Dr. Carey’s specialized training and 16 years of surgical experience ensure you’re in the best hands for emergency dental or oral surgical needs. As an oral surgeon, Dr. Carey routinely performs advanced surgeries to correct injuries to the bones of the mouth, head, and face and interventions for dental implant failure to salvage your implants and restore stability to your prosthesis.
Breaks and fractures to the lower jawbone need specialized care to prevent further damage to the lower teeth and misalignments of the upper and lower jaws.
The orbital bone is the bone that surrounds the eye. Fortunately, fractures to the eye socket frequently do not need surgery. However, a thorough evaluation can ensure good healing and determine whether you need surgical intervention.
Cuts inside or outside your mouth or other face areas may require complex, meticulous care to minimize scarring and functional problems.
A broken cheekbone can need surgery to stabilize the bone and prevent permanent changes to the shape of your face.
Many bones support the structures of your face and upper teeth. Fractures to facial bones may lead to problems with your bite, double vision, a sunken eye, or nerve damage.
Dentoalveolar trauma refers to injuries affecting teeth and their surrounding support; among the most common accidents, sports-related incidents, or other impacts, these traumas can lead to fractures, dislodgement, or complete avulsion of teeth. Timely assessment and intervention by dental professionals are crucial to minimize long-term damage and ensure optimal healing and restoration.
Cracked, injured, and knocked-out teeth are one of the most common types of dental emergencies. Timely treatment may save your tooth or prepare you for replacement with dental implants.
Ideally, dental implants maintain their strength, stability, and function with minimal maintenance. However, there are times when even the best-placed dental implants fail. After going through the dental implant process, the idea of a failed implant can sound like a nightmare. Fortunately, our advanced treatments for implant failure can save your smile and stabilize your implants so you can keep loving your smile.
Dr. Carey has built every aspect of Heartland Oral Surgery and Dental Implants to offer you the most comfortable experience possible while delivering predictably successful outcomes for every procedure.
