Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) Surgeries

Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) Surgeries at Dr. Ankit Shah Clinic

The Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) is a crucial structure that connects the jaw to the skull, allowing essential movements for chewing, speaking, and facial expressions. Dysfunction in this joint can lead to pain, restricted movement, clicking sounds, and even difficulty opening the mouth. At Dr. Ankit Shah Clinic, Bibwewadi, Pune, Dr. Ankit Satish Shah, a specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, offers advanced TMJ surgeries to restore function and relieve discomfort.

Types of TMJ Surgeries:

  • Arthrocentesis – A minimally invasive procedure that removes inflammation-causing fluid from the joint.
  • Arthroscopy – A keyhole surgery used to diagnose and treat internal TMJ disorders.
  • Open Joint Surgery – Recommended for severe cases involving joint degeneration, tumors, or bone abnormalities.
  • TMJ Reconstruction – Performed in cases of joint destruction due to trauma, arthritis, or cancer.

Benefits of TMJ Surgery:

Pain Relief – Eliminates chronic jaw pain and discomfort.
Improved Jaw Function – Restores normal movement and bite alignment.
Enhanced Quality of Life – Enables smooth chewing, speaking, and daily activities.

With state-of-the-art technology and a patient-focused approach, Dr. Ankit Satish Shah ensures precise diagnosis, effective surgical interventions, and comprehensive rehabilitation to help patients regain a pain-free and fully functional jaw.
