Facial trauma can be a physically and emotionally devastating experience, often affecting both appearance and essential functions like breathing, speaking, and eating. Whether you’ve experienced an injury from an accident, sports, or other cause, timely and expert treatment is crucial for optimal recovery. At Park Smiles NYC, our specialized team provides comprehensive care for all types of facial trauma, from emergency intervention to complex reconstruction, all in our state-of-the-art Manhattan facility.
Facial trauma treatment encompasses the specialized care needed to address injuries to the face, including the bones, soft tissues, and teeth. This multidisciplinary field combines surgical expertise with aesthetic consideration to restore both function and appearance after injury. Unlike general emergency care, comprehensive facial trauma treatment requires specialized knowledge of facial anatomy, dental structures, and reconstructive techniques.
Treatment approaches vary based on the nature and severity of injuries. Facial fractures may require precise realignment and stabilization of bones using plates, screws, or wires. Soft tissue injuries like lacerations demand meticulous repair techniques to minimize scarring. Dental trauma often necessitates a combination of emergency care and restorative treatments to save damaged teeth or replace those that cannot be salvaged.
At Park Smiles NYC, our approach to facial trauma emphasizes both immediate intervention and long-term rehabilitation. We utilize advanced 3D imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, and employ minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. Our team coordinates complex care across specialties when needed, ensuring comprehensive treatment that addresses all aspects of your injury – from functional restoration to aesthetic refinement – with the goal of returning you to normal life with minimal lasting effects.

Dr. Cohen provides emergency room coverage for all facial injuries, oral traumas and emergency dentistry including:
An experienced emergency facial surgeon with extensive training at two of the nation’s top Level One Trauma Centers, Dr. Cohen is currently on staff with admitting privileges at Mt. Sinai Hospital, Beth Israel Medical Center, Lenox Hill Hospital, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Center and Jacobi Medical Center. To better serve his patients, Dr. Cohen is fluent in English, Spanish and French.
Treatment for the various facial traumas can range from surgical options (in cases such as mandible, Le Fort, and cheek fractures) to merely splinting (for injuries to the teeth and surrounding dental structures). As with all procedures, Dr. Cohen’s primary goal is to serve the best interests of his patients and restore the maximum possible functionality and structure.Attaining a healthy, beautiful smile is like a Walk in the Park – at Park Smiles NYC!
Expert facial trauma treatment provides optimized functional recovery, ensuring that essential activities like breathing, speaking, chewing, and facial expressions return to normal or near-normal condition. Proper alignment and repair of facial bones prevents long-term complications such as chronic pain, malocclusion (bite problems), or breathing difficulties. Specialized soft tissue repair techniques preserve sensory and motor nerve function while minimizing visible scarring.
Beyond functional recovery, skilled facial trauma care significantly impacts aesthetic outcomes, preserving natural facial harmony and symmetry. Proper initial management often prevents the need for more extensive secondary reconstructive procedures. Advanced techniques employed by specialists can dramatically reduce visible scarring compared to standard emergency care, particularly in aesthetically critical areas like the lips, eyelids, and central face.
Comprehensive treatment addresses both immediate and long-term psychological impacts of facial trauma. Restoring appearance helps reduce emotional distress and supports psychological recovery from the traumatic event. Many patients experience significant improvements in confidence and social comfort as their facial appearance is restored through expert treatment.
Professional facial trauma care also offers long-term health benefits through proper stabilization of facial structures. Well-managed facial fractures promote optimal bone healing, preventing future alignment problems or degenerative changes. For dental injuries, immediate expert intervention significantly improves the prognosis for injured teeth and supporting structures, helping to avoid tooth loss and preserving natural dentition whenever possible.
At Park Smiles NYC, our sedation dentistry services are provided by our experienced team of specialists who understand the delicate balance between comfort and safety. Our professional staff includes board-certified dentists with advanced training in various sedation techniques, ensuring that your experience is both relaxing and secure. Dr. Krystle Kendall brings exceptional expertise in performing complex procedures under various sedation methods, ensuring that even extensive dental work can be completed comfortably.
Our sedation team remains at the forefront of advanced comfort dentistry, regularly updating their knowledge through continuing education in the latest sedation protocols and patient monitoring techniques. This commitment to excellence has made Park Smiles NYC a trusted provider for anxiety-free dental care in Manhattan. Throughout your sedation experience, our entire staff prioritizes your physical and emotional comfort, creating an environment where dental anxiety becomes a thing of the past.
Sedation dentistry is generally very safe for healthy adults when administered by properly trained professionals. At Park Smiles NYC, we conduct thorough health assessments before recommending any sedation option, reviewing your medical history, current medications, and any risk factors. Certain conditions like sleep apnea, obesity, or some cardiovascular issues may influence the type of sedation recommended, but rarely rule out sedation entirely. Our continuous monitoring throughout treatment ensures any unusual responses are detected immediately. The vast majority of our patients experience sedation without any complications, finding it to be a safe solution for their dental anxiety.
Your recovery experience depends on the type of sedation received. After nitrous oxide, effects dissipate within minutes, leaving you clear-headed and able to drive. With oral sedation, you’ll likely feel drowsy for several hours and should rest at home for the remainder of the day. IV sedation typically results in grogginess that gradually clears over 24 hours, with most patients feeling normal by the following morning. Some patients report feeling slightly nauseous or experiencing mild headaches after deeper sedation, but these effects are usually brief. We provide detailed aftercare instructions for each sedation type and remain available by phone to address any recovery concerns.
Fasting guidelines vary based on your sedation type. For nitrous oxide, no food restrictions apply, and you can eat normally before your appointment. Oral sedation typically requires avoiding food for 6 hours beforehand, though small sips of water may be permitted with your medication. IV sedation follows stricter guidelines, usually requiring fasting from food for 8 hours and clear liquids for 2 hours before your procedure. During your pre-sedation consultation, we provide personalized instructions based on your appointment time and medical needs. Following these guidelines is important for your safety, as fasting reduces the risk of complications.
