TMJ surgery

There are multiple types of surgery depending upon the diagnosis. They include arthrocentisis, arthoscopic surgery, open joint surgery, and joint replacement. Each has it's own advantages and disadvantages. I have treated over 2400 patients for TMJ problems and have found surgery to rarely be needed. I refer a patient only after the non surgical options have been exhausted.
