Call 020 3824 2384Complex jaw problems rarely sit in one discipline. Our care is surgeon-led and multidisciplinary — the joint, the muscles, the bite, sleep and the impact on daily life are assessed together, in one coordinated pathway.
The temporomandibular joint is a true joint that also interacts with the bite, the chewing muscles, sleep and stress. Addressing only one of these often explains why symptoms return. A team lets us match the right treatment to the right cause, and—because the team is led by a surgeon—there is a clear path to advanced treatment if it is ever needed.
MB, BDS, MDS, FDS RCS, MRCS, FRCS (OMFS). On the GMC Specialist Register; substantive NHS Consultant at the Royal Free London; member of ESTMJS and AATMJS. A TMJ sub-specialist with a focus on advanced (Level 2 & 3) arthroscopy and regenerative and reconstructive jaw-joint surgery, and an active researcher and exhibited photographer.
Our TMJ pathway is designed to bring together the following, so patients are assessed and treated in one place:
Assessment and rehabilitation of jaw function and the chewing muscles; hands-on therapy and guided exercises.
The bite and its role in jaw symptoms; splints and occlusal management where appropriate.
Support for the pain, clenching/grinding and stress that so often accompany jaw problems — because it is real, and manageable.
Sleep assessment (for bruxism and related sleep concerns) and MRI-led diagnostic imaging to see clearly inside the joint.
You are seen, imaged and advised through a single, joined-up pathway — with an honest explanation of the diagnosis and the options, from the least intervention upward.
