Facial injuries demand a surgeon who understands both the structural engineering of the facial skeleton and the aesthetic impact of every repair. Dr. Kahwach treats the full spectrum of maxillofacial trauma — from simple lacerations and knocked-out teeth to complex multi-bone fractures requiring titanium plate reconstruction — with the dual-degree training (DDS + MD) to manage these cases from emergency stabilization through final aesthetic refinement.
Injuries We Treat
Mandible (lower jaw) fractures — the most common facial fracture. Treated with titanium plates, screws, or closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation depending on fracture pattern. Midface fractures — zygoma (cheekbone), maxilla (upper jaw), nasal, and orbital floor fractures. Orbital fractures — blowout fractures of the eye socket requiring reconstruction to prevent enophthalmos (sunken eye) and diplopia (double vision). Dentoalveolar trauma — knocked-out, displaced, or fractured teeth and surrounding bone. Reimplantation of avulsed teeth when possible. Soft tissue injuries — lacerations, avulsions, and degloving injuries of the face requiring layered repair for optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Emergency Availability
Facial trauma does not wait for business hours. We provide same-day emergency consultations for acute injuries. Hospital privileges at Sutter Roseville Medical Center allow Dr. Kahwach to perform complex reconstructions under general anesthesia in a full operating room environment when needed.
Following trauma reconstruction, patients requiring tooth replacement may benefit from dental implants or bone grafting to restore function and aesthetics.
