TMJ Replacement Surgery in Pune

TMJ Replacement Surgery in Pune is an advanced surgical procedure recommended for patients suffering from severe jaw joint pain, restricted mouth opening, and advanced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. When non-surgical treatments such as medication, splints, or physiotherapy fail to provide relief, TMJ replacement surgery offers long-term improvement in jaw function and quality of life.

TMJ replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged jaw joint with a custom-designed artificial joint. This helps restore normal jaw movement, reduce chronic pain, and improve chewing, speaking, and facial balance.

Dr Pushkar Waknis is a highly experienced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in Pune, specializing in the diagnosis and surgical management of complex TMJ disorders. He follows a patient-centric and evidence-based approach while planning TMJ replacement surgery.

TMJ Replacement Surgery may be recommended for patients with:

  • Severe TMJ arthritis or joint degeneration
  • Ankylosis (fusion of the jaw joint)
  • Chronic jaw pain with limited mouth opening
  • Failed previous TMJ surgeries
  • Jaw joint damage due to trauma
  • Advanced TMJ disorders not responding to conservative treatment

Benefits of TMJ Replacement Surgery:

  • Significant reduction in jaw pain
  • Improved mouth opening and jaw mobility
  • Better chewing and speech function
  • Long-term relief from TMJ-related symptoms
  • Improved overall quality of life

At our center, TMJ replacement surgery in Pune is planned after a detailed clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and thorough discussion with the patient. The goal is to achieve safe, predictable, and lasting results with comprehensive pre- and post-operative care.

If you are experiencing persistent jaw pain or difficulty in jaw movement, early consultation with Dr Pushkar Waknis can help determine the most appropriate treatment and prevent further joint damage.
