TMJ Disorders Treatment in Plantation, Florida

Arthroscopy is a surgical technique that is much less invasive than open TMJ surgery. The procedure requires very small skin incisions of about one-quarter of an inch instead of the 2 to 3-inch incisions that are used in open TMJ surgery. Arthroscopy also has been associated with fewer complications than with open TMJ surgery, and it requires a shorter time in the hospital (same-day surgery ). TMJ arthroscopy is performed with a smaller version of the sophisticated instruments that have revolutionized knee surgery during the past three decades. Furthermore, your surgeon Dr Ramon Perez, has been using laser instruments to perform advanced arthroscopic surgical procedures in the temporomandibular joint. Even in some cases repositioning the cartilage pad. The results of TMJ arthroscopy have been very rewarding, with a high success rate, minimal complications, and short recovery times. Our facilities are now equipped with the necessary instrumentation to perform certain arthroscopies in the office with the ability to go home minutes after the surgery.
