What is TMJ Replacement?
TMJ Replacement Surgery involves the complete removal of the damaged or dysfunctional temporomandibular joint and the replacement of this critical structure with a custom-designed prosthesis.
The TMJ is the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull, allowing essential movements such as chewing, speaking, and yawning.
When the joint becomes damaged due to arthritis, trauma, or TMJ disorders, it can lead to debilitating pain and limited movement.
At nuFace, we use state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge prosthetic materials to create a joint replacement that not only restores function but also mimics the natural movement of your original joint.

Conditions That May Require TMJ Replacement
TMJ Replacement Surgery is recommended for patients who suffer from severe TMJ disorders that do not respond to conservative treatments.
Common conditions that may warrant joint replacement include:
-
Advanced Osteoarthritis:
The wear and tear of the TMJ over time can lead to degenerative joint disease, causing pain, stiffness, and limited movement. -
Rheumatoid Arthritis:
Autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can severely damage the TMJ, leading to joint deterioration and chronic discomfort. -
Trauma:
Significant injuries to the jaw or face can cause lasting damage to the TMJ, necessitating joint replacement to restore normal function. -
Ankylosis:
This condition involves the abnormal fusion of the joint, which restricts movement and can cause severe pain. TMJ replacement is often the best option to regain mobility. -
Congenital Defects:
In cases where a person is born with malformations or underdeveloped jaw joints, TMJ replacement can help correct these issues and improve quality of life.
