Frequently Asked Questions About Total TMJ Replacement Surgery
What is Total TMJ Replacement?
Total TMJ Replacement is an advanced reconstructive procedure that replaces a severely damaged temporomandibular joint with a biocompatible artificial joint, restoring jaw function, relieving pain, and improving quality of life.
Who is a candidate for TMJ replacement surgery?
Patients with severe TMJ ankylosis, end-stage arthritis, condylar resorption, traumatic joint destruction, tumors, congenital deformities, or unsuccessful previous TMJ surgeries are often ideal candidates.
Is TMJ replacement surgery available in Lalitpur and Baneshwor?
Yes, Perfect Dental Care Center provides specialized TMJ replacement surgery for patients from Lalitpur, Baneshwor, Old Baneshwor, Sinamangal, and Naxal. Our centrally located clinic in Old Baneshwor is easily accessible from all these areas, offering advanced jaw joint reconstruction with 3D digital planning.
What symptoms indicate severe TMJ disease?
Common symptoms include chronic jaw pain, difficulty opening the mouth, jaw locking, clicking, inability to chew comfortably, facial asymmetry, bite changes, and progressive restriction of jaw movement.
Can TMJ replacement be combined with jaw surgery?
Yes. Patients with both jaw joint disease and jaw deformities can benefit from simultaneous TMJ replacement and orthognathic surgery, providing comprehensive correction in a single operation.
Will TMJ replacement relieve jaw pain?
Most patients experience significant relief from chronic TMJ pain, improved jaw function, and better quality of life following successful surgery.
How long does an artificial TMJ joint last?
Modern TMJ prostheses are engineered for excellent long-term durability and function. With appropriate follow-up, many patients enjoy decades of successful joint performance.
Is Total TMJ Replacement a safe procedure?
Yes. When performed by experienced surgeons using modern digital planning and evidence-based protocols, Total TMJ Replacement has a high success rate with predictable functional outcomes.
How long is recovery after TMJ replacement surgery?
Most patients begin gentle jaw exercises soon after surgery. Functional recovery continues over several months with guided rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are strategically placed around the ear and jawline to minimize visible scarring while allowing precise access to the joint.
Can TMJ replacement improve facial appearance?
Yes. Restoring the jaw joint often improves facial symmetry and profile. When combined with orthognathic surgery, it can dramatically enhance facial balance, bite function, and overall aesthetics.
