Man with facial injuries and dental trauma in San Francisco needs the finest in oral surgery.Dr. Massoomi has been trained to understand intricate relationship between the mouth, teeth and facial bones. In general Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are the only speciality in medicine and dentistry that have a unique understanding of facial injuries and how it impacts people’s teeth and chewing because of attending dental school. In fact, most major Trauma Level I Medical Centers use oral and Maxillofacial surgeons to treat the most significant facial trauma. In many instances Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons are called-in to revise or correct surgeries performed by other medical specialists due to sub-optimal surgical results after facial trauma injuries. This is simply due to the fact that they have not attended dental school and lack the basic understanding of occlusion and how the teeth have to re-aligned back into their original position in order to bring the face and the patients’ ability to chew normally back into harmony.

Soft Tissue Injuries | We repair soft tissue injuries with careful suturing to ensure the best cosmetic result possible.
Bone Injuries | Fractures in the bone and face may call for a number of different treatments, which will be determined by the location and severity of the fracture. Sometimes these treatment may involve wiring the jaws together and/or the surgical placement of plates and screws to reposition the bone back to their original position.
Injuries to the Teeth and Surrounding Dental Structures | Dental trauma is quite common and need to be quickly treated within the first hour or surgery. We may use splinting or restorations, and in some cases, we are able to reinstall a natural tooth into its original socket if the patient presents to our office in an optimal time.
