Facial Fractures

The most common causes of facial fractures are assaults, sports injuries, accidental falls, and motor vehicle accidents. Dr. Jenkins specializes in fractures of the frontal sinus, orbits (eye sockets), zygoma (cheekbone), nasal bones, maxilla (upper jaw), and mandible (lower jaw). Treatment depends on the location and severity of the fracture — ranging from conservative management to surgical repair with titanium plates and screws.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Lacerations, avulsions, and contusions of the face and scalp require careful repair to minimize scarring and restore normal appearance and function. Dr. Jenkins's training in both medicine and dentistry gives him a unique understanding of facial anatomy, allowing for precise, cosmetically sensitive repair of even complex soft tissue injuries.

Dental Trauma

Knocked-out teeth, fractured teeth, and injuries to the supporting bone are common in facial trauma. Prompt treatment is critical — a knocked-out permanent tooth can often be replanted successfully if treated within 30–60 minutes. Call our office immediately if you or a family member experiences dental trauma.
