If you have jaw pain, clicking or locking, headaches or difficulty opening, a focused specialist assessment can tell you what is actually happening — and what can be done about it.
Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon · Insured and self-funding patients welcome, from across the UK and Europe.
Common signs of a jaw joint problem
Mr Deepak Komath, MB BDS MDS FDS RCS MRCS FRCS (OMFS). On the GMC Specialist Register; substantive NHS Consultant, Royal Free London.
A practice dedicated to the jaw joint — one of a small number of surgeons in Europe performing advanced (Level 3) TMJ arthroscopy.
Care guided by careful diagnosis and audited outcomes, with published work in regenerative (PRP) treatment of the joint.
The right treatment for the right problem
Full history, examination and imaging (such as MRI) to distinguish joint-origin pain from muscular pain — because the right treatment depends on it.
Physiotherapy, bite and habit management, and where appropriate botulinum toxin for the chewing muscles.
Joint wash-out (arthrocentesis), often with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and keyhole arthroscopy including advanced Level 2 and Level 3 procedures.
Your own (autologous) regenerative cells, harvested under the same anaesthetic; and, for unsalvageable joints, custom prosthetic joint replacement.
Honest, unhurried, specialist
Mr Komath takes a full history, examines your jaw, reviews or arranges the imaging you need, and explains the likely diagnosis and your options clearly — including, honestly, what can and cannot be offered. Teenagers with advanced TMJ disease are also seen.
Send an enquiry and the practice will be in touch to arrange your appointment.
