FACIAL INJURY TREATMENT

Facial trauma (maxillofacial trauma) is any injury that occurs on the face and is generally classified as either being a soft tissue injury (gums and skin), bony injuries (fractures), or injuries that occur in special regions, such as the salivary glands, facial nerves, or eyes. Facial trauma can occur due to a variety of causes, the most common being motor vehicle accidents. Additional common causes include sports related injuries, injuries related to work, and interpersonal violence or assaults. At Lake Norman Oral and Facial Surgery, we offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, specializing in facial reconstruction, facial surgery, corrective jaw surgery, obstructive sleep apnea, and wisdom tooth removal. If you would like to learn more about our services, or schedule an appointment for treating facial trauma, contact us today. New patients are welcome and a referral from another doctor is not required.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
