Surgical Treatment Baytown, Houston
Dr. Wooten's TMJ Treatment Options
Surgery is a treatment option that is rarely indicated for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Instead, surgery is used only as a last resort, after relief has not been achieved through other TMJ treatment methods. At our Baytown practice serving Greater Houston and other areas, TMJ disorder treatment options are fully explored to prevent the need for more invasive — and many times less effective — surgical treatments. Through a comprehensive TMJ disorder diagnostic assessment, our experienced TMJ treatment provider, Dr. David R. Wooten, will help you understand the cause or causes of your pain and find the treatment option that is best suited to your case.

Cases in Which Surgical TMJ Disorder Treatment Is Necessary
In cases in which a person has experienced traumatic injury to the jaw, such as a fracture, surgical intervention is often necessary. Bone spurs and other anomalies, although rare, may cause TMJ disorder and can be corrected through surgery. In the majority of cases, however, Dr. Wooten has found that surgical options such as joint replacement and disc replacement do not offer satisfactory pain relief. In some cases, these surgical procedures can even worsen a patient's quality of life.
