Surgeon-led multidisciplinary care

The Team

Complex jaw problems rarely sit in one discipline. Our care is surgeon-led and multidisciplinary — the joint, the muscles, the bite, sleep and the impact on daily life are assessed together, in one coordinated pathway.

Why a team — not just one clinician

The temporomandibular joint is a true joint that also interacts with the bite, the chewing muscles, sleep and stress. Addressing only one of these often explains why symptoms return. A team lets us match the right treatment to the right cause, and—because the team is led by a surgeon—there is a clear path to advanced treatment if it is ever needed.

Led by

Mr Deepak Komath — Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon (TMJ lead)

MB, BDS, MDS, FDS RCS, MRCS, FRCS (OMFS). On the GMC Specialist Register; substantive NHS Consultant at the Royal Free London; member of ESTMJS and AATMJS.

The multidisciplinary team

Our multidisciplinary team works alongside Mr Komath, so you are assessed and treated in one place:

Consultant Physiotherapist

Assessment and rehabilitation of jaw function and the chewing muscles; hands-on therapy and guided exercises.

Restorative Dentist / Occlusion

The bite and its role in jaw symptoms; splints and occlusal management where appropriate.

Clinical Psychologist

Support for the pain, clenching/grinding and stress that so often accompany jaw problems — because it is real, and manageable.

Sleep & Imaging

Sleep assessment (for bruxism and related sleep concerns) and MRI-led diagnostic imaging to see clearly inside the joint.

One assessment, one coordinated plan

You are seen, imaged and advised through a single, joined-up pathway — with an honest explanation of the diagnosis and the options, from the least intervention upward.

You will meet the members of the team as part of your care; individual profiles follow shortly.
