What Is Emergency Jaw Surgery?
Emergency jaw surgery refers to time-sensitive procedures performed to restore the jaw’s function and alignment when an issue arises suddenly. These procedures can include repositioning the jaw, stabilizing it, or correcting anatomical imbalances.
Unlike elective jaw surgeries that are scheduled in advance, emergency jaw surgeries are typically performed shortly after a condition appears. The purpose is to bring the jaw back into a balanced state, ensure proper bite alignment, and support normal oral function such as chewing, speaking, and smiling.
Who We Serve
Our emergency jaw surgery services are available to:
- Individuals who have experienced recent jaw trauma

Types of Emergency Jaw Conditions We Address
Emergency jaw surgery can address a wide variety of structural and functional jaw conditions. Here’s a closer look at some of the most common jaw-related issues that may require timely intervention.
1. Jaw Fractures
A jaw fracture involves a break in the bone that forms the upper or lower jaw. This can result in difficulty opening the mouth or maintaining jaw alignment. Our team evaluates the nature of the fracture and uses precise surgical techniques to stabilize the jaw, allowing for proper healing and future use.
2. Jaw Dislocations
Dislocation occurs when the jawbone moves out of its normal position. This can affect eating, speaking, and closing the mouth properly. Our specialists perform detailed assessments and carefully reposition the jaw to restore harmony between the joints and muscles of the face.
3. Structural Misalignment
Sometimes, the upper and lower jaws don’t align properly due to injury, overextension, or repetitive strain. In such cases, immediate correction may be necessary to realign the jaw and reduce muscular tension.
4. Infections Requiring Surgical Drainage or Clean-Out
If an infection affects the jawbone, it may be necessary to surgically treat the area to support oral health and healing. Our clinicians use gentle, controlled techniques designed to improve the condition and restore balance.

What to Expect During Your Emergency Jaw Surgery Appointment
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a detailed examination of your jaw, face, and bite. Our oral surgeons may use advanced digital imaging (such as 3D scans or panoramic X-rays) to get a clear picture of what’s happening inside.
Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan
Every case is different. Based on the evaluation, we will outline a treatment approach designed for your specific jaw anatomy and condition. Whether you’re a candidate for surgical repositioning, bone support, or joint alignment, you’ll be guided through the process.
Step 3: Surgical Care
If surgery is the recommended option, our team will use techniques designed to preserve as much of your natural bone and tissue as possible while delivering excellent structural results. Anesthesia options are available to ensure your comfort.
Step 4: Follow-Up and Healing Support
After your procedure, we schedule check-ins to monitor your healing and offer continued support. Our team remains available to answer questions and guide you through every phase of your recovery.
Healing and Post-Surgical Care
Recovering from emergency jaw surgery requires some adjustments to your daily routine, but many patients find it manageable with the right guidance. Here’s what the recovery process typically includes:
- Dietary Modifications: Patients are encouraged to stick to soft foods and liquids as the jaw settles and strengthens.
- Oral Hygiene Support: We provide customized hygiene instructions to help you keep your mouth clean and support healing.
- Rest and Recovery: Adequate rest, hydration, and avoiding strenuous activity all contribute to the healing process.
- Scheduled Follow-Ups: Our team will schedule periodic visits to ensure proper recovery and jaw function restoration.
