The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a crucial role in daily activities such as chewing, speaking, and yawning. When this joint becomes painful or dysfunctional, the impact on a patient’s life can be severe, ranging from headaches, ear pain, and jaw stiffness to difficulty eating or even opening the mouth.
Our team offers comprehensive care for all forms of TMJ disorders, beginning with thorough evaluation and advanced imaging to understand the cause. For many patients, conservative therapies may be effective; however, when surgical treatment is required, we provide the full spectrum of options:
• Minimally invasive procedures such as arthrocentesis and arthroscopy.
• Open joint surgery for complex conditions like ankylosis or severe arthritis.
• Total joint replacement using customized prosthetic joints for patients with advanced disease.
Each treatment plan is designed around the patient’s unique needs, with a focus on relieving pain, restoring movement, and preserving long-term function. Our goal is to return patients to a life free of TMJ-related limitations.
