TMJ Surgery

The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the ‘jaw joint’ and is a common site of pain and problems. Most patients can be effectively managed with simple jaw physiotherapy and other non-surgical techniques.

Occasionally, the fibro-cartilage disc within the joint gets damaged or stuck. These cases often require some form of surgery to improve their symptoms.

Our TMJ surgeons in Auckland are experts in the surgical treatment of jaw joint conditions which can vary from key hole surgery (arthroscopy/arthrocentesis) through to open joint surgery and joint replacement (arthroplasty).

Both of our surgeons have travelled to the USA to learn techniques of minimally invasive jaw-joint surgery (arthroscopy) and have a sub-specialty interest in the management of surgical TMJ disease.

For those seeking advanced TMJ treatment Auckland, our experienced surgeons offer a wide range of surgical options, from minimally invasive procedures to total joint replacement, all aimed at providing effective solutions for TMJ-related issues.
