Nerve Repair After Oral Surgery in Chicago & Northwest Indiana

Nerve injury can occur as a result of: trauma, removal of an impacted wisdom tooth, jaw infection, jaw corrective surgery and surgery related to jaw tumor. These injuries can be as minor as bruising of the nerve, which can result in temporary loss of feeling that may heal over time. Sometimes, either partial or complete loss of sensation may be permanent. In these instances, the nerve injury may require more attention, and can be managed either by non-surgical methods or by surgical repair of the nerve. We use most the up-to-date surgical techniques to repair the nerve either primarily or by using a nerve graft.
