Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained, skilled, and uniquely qualified to manage and perform facial trauma restoration. Facial injury and jaw fractures, by their very nature, impart a high degree of emotional and physical trauma to patients. The implementation of facial trauma restoration is both an art and science in many ways. Not only do surgeons have to be trained and experienced in the various procedures and technology used for treatment, but the doctor should also have an understanding of the aesthetics of the face and an artistic eye to restore beauty to the site of a traumatic injury. In this way, hands-on experience and familiarity with cutting-edge technology are required to provide the best care to the highest of modern standards.
Dr. Gocke meets and exceeds these modern standards. He is on staff at local hospitals and delivers emergency room coverage for facial injuries to patients in McLean. Dr. Gocke regularly performs surgery for face injuries such as:
- Facial Lacerations
- Intraoral Lacerations
- Avulsed (knocked out) Teeth
- Fractured Facial Bones (cheek, nose, or eye socket)
- Fractured Jaws (upper and lower jaw)
To provide the highest level of care to the patients of McLean as possible, Virginia Oral, Facial, and Implant Surgery utilize a series of technologically and methodologically advanced procedures, such as:
- Tooth Extraction and Replacement: for those individuals whose teeth cannot be saved, treatment may include dental prostheses and/or realignment of the teeth
- Jaw Surgery: in situations where the jaw is severely damaged and will need to be fixed, jaw surgery can fix a crooked smile or a broken bone easily and may be used in conjunction with surgery of the teeth and gums
- Gum Surgery: the gums will often be damaged when suffering from facial trauma, and any good facial trauma reconstruction will include fixing the tissues of the mouth and preparing them to securely hold any dental prostheses needed
