Urgent Oral and Facial Surgery Treatment

Treatment for emergency health issues cannot be scheduled in advance. If you or your child have experienced an injury to the teeth, jaws, gums, or face, it’s critical to address the problem right away. Leaving a significant facial injury untreated can result in improper healing or the development of speaking, eating, or breathing problems.

Dr. Lieblick and Dr. Rehrer have undergone extensive training to treat urgent oral health needs and will see you as promptly as possible. Please note that if you are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, you should go to the nearest emergency room.

Types of Oral & Facial Emergencies

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to treat emergency cases. Some of the most common oral health emergencies include:

• Knocked-out teeth
• Partially dislodged teeth
• Fractured Jaw
• Abscess
• Lacerations or cuts to the face or mouth

Our oral surgeons and team at Beacon Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons are here to help, whether you need a tooth replacement or have a major facial infection or injury. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the most qualified medical providers to address oral health emergencies, and our experts will design a custom treatment plan based on your needs. Dr. Lieblick and Dr. Rehrer are on call at many of the local hospitals to treat emergency trauma cases.

Treating Dental Emergencies

Treatment will vary depending on the type of emergency you have experienced. We will take a 3D scan of your mouth and face and discuss your options for anesthesia so that you can remain as comfortable as possible.

We will attempt to reconnect a knocked-out tooth. If the tooth cannot be saved, we can discuss your options for restoration, such as dental implants. Lacerations may require sutures, and more extensive injuries may require jaw surgery. We will evaluate your needs and determine the right type of treatment for you.

If you have experienced a non life-threatening oral health emergency, please call any of our office locations in Gresham, Milwaukie, and The Dalles, OR, or Camas, WA. We would be happy to address your needs and restore your smile.
