Treatment Procedure at Coral Dental Implants

Step-by-step treatment procedure for Orthodontics at Coral Dental Implants

  • First, you must visit a healthcare provider or oral surgeon specialising in TMJ disorders.
  • They will ask you about your symptoms, examine your jaw, and might order X-rays or an MRI to see how serious the problem is.
  • During the procedure, you will be given either local or general anaesthesia to make sure you don’t feel any pain.
  • The surgeon will make minor cuts near your ear and use a tiny camera called an arthroscope to see inside your jaw.
  • Then, they will use special tools to fix any issues with the joint, like getting rid of swollen tissue or adjusting the joint.
  • After the surgery, you will need to follow the instructions carefully. This may include managing pain, changing your diet, and doing specific exercises for your jaw.
  • You must also return for check-ups to ensure you’re healing well.
