Relieve chronic jaw pain, clicking sounds, and restricted mouth opening with precise, advanced diagnostics and specialized maxillofacial intervention.
Specialized Joint Care
Restoring function & comfort
The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is arguably the most complex joint in the human body. As a sliding hinge that also rotates, it is responsible for every word you speak and every bite you take. When this delicate architectural balance is disrupted by trauma, arthritis, or structural deformity, the result is debilitating chronic pain, restricted movement, and a significant decrease in quality of life. At Central Poly Clinic, we specialize in the full surgical and non-surgical spectrum of TMJ management.
Located in Gorakhpur, our clinic serves as a regional referral hub for complex joint disorders. Many patients suffer for years, misdiagnosed with chronic ear infections or migraines, when the actual cause is TMJ Internal Derangement. Our surgical team utilize advanced imaging to map joint pathology and provide definitive corrections—ranging from minimally invasive Arthrocentesis to complex open-joint reconstruction for TMJ Ankylosis.
We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to jaw pain. Our surgical protocols address specific anatomical failures:
A minimally invasive procedure where the joint space is flushed with sterile fluid to remove inflammatory markers and 'unlock' a displaced disc. This often provides instant relief for patients with restricted mouth opening (Trismus).
For patients where the joint has become fused to the skull (Ankylosis)—often due to childhood trauma—we perform advanced gap arthroplasty to restore mouth opening and prevent facial asymmetry, utilizing modern interpositional materials.
Identification of joint pathology using CBCT and MRI analysis to determine if the issue is muscular, disc-related, or a skeletal deformity.
Before considering surgery, we often initiate therapy with custom occlusal splints and specialized physiotherapy to decompress the joint and reduce muscle hyperreactivity.
If internal derangement persists, we perform targeted surgical interventions to reposition the disc, remove adhesions, or reconstruct the joint architecture for permanent relief.
TMJ surgery requires highly specialized training that is rarely available in standard dental clinics. Central Poly Clinic in Gorakhpur is proud to be a center of excellence for patients traveling from Deoria, Basti, Azamgarh, and Mau. Our commitment to using the least invasive effective treatment ensures that our patients experience rapid recovery and long-term freedom from joint-induced headaches and facial pain.
Myth
"Clicking in the jaw always means I need surgery."
Reality: Not every click requires intervention. We only recommend treatment if the clicking is associated with pain, locking, or significant functional restriction. Many clicks remain stable for decades without surgical needs.
Myth
"TMJ treatment is just for jaw pain."
Reality: Correcting TMJ pathology often resolves chronic tension headaches, earaches, and neck pain that have failed to respond to other medical treatments. The joint is the hub of facial neural pathways.
Diagnosis
Comprehensive clinical exam, often supplemented by CBCT or MRI.
Conservative First
Splints, bite guards, medications, and targeted physiotherapy.
Surgical Options
Arthrocentesis, Arthroscopy, or Open Joint Surgery for severe deformities.
The jaw joint is incredibly delicate. Do not risk it with inexperienced practitioners.
Surgery is our last resort. We exhaust all non-invasive treatments—like occlusal splints, medication, and targeted physiotherapy—before recommending the knife.
General dentists are not trained to surgically alter the TMJ. As Maxillofacial surgeons, we have dedicated years of study strictly to the anatomy and function of this specific joint.
If surgery is needed, we utilize advanced TMJ arthroscopy (using tiny cameras and instruments) to correct issues with minimal scarring and faster recovery.
