TMJ IN TROUTMAN, NC

For Troutman residents seeking tmj surgery, Dr. Raymond J. Haigney II provides exceptional results at Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery in Huntersville. TMJ surgery treats disorders of the temporomandibular joint when conservative therapies have not resolved chronic jaw pain, clicking, locking, or limited mouth opening.

Many of our tmj surgery patients travel from Troutman — a drive of only about 25 minutes — because they value the combination of expertise and personalized attention we provide. Persistent TMJ dysfunction can severely affect eating, speaking, and quality of life. Surgical options range from minimally invasive arthroscopy to open joint procedures when needed.

With over two decades of surgical experience and fellowship training at Emory University, Dr. Haigney brings an exceptional level of skill to every tmj surgery case. Dr. Haigney first exhausts conservative approaches including splint therapy and medications. When surgery is indicated, he uses arthroscopic techniques whenever possible for faster recovery. Troutman patients benefit from his dual board certification and FACS fellowship credentials.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!

Frequently Asked Questions

TMJ Surgery Questions & Answers

Have questions about tmj surgery near Troutman, NC? Here are answers to the most common questions from patients in the Troutman area.

When is TMJ surgery recommended? +
TMJ surgery is typically considered after conservative treatments such as oral appliances, physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications have not provided adequate relief. Surgery may be recommended for structural problems within the joint, including disc displacement, bone deterioration, joint ankylosis, or tumors of the temporomandibular joint.
What types of TMJ surgery are performed? +
TMJ surgical options range from minimally invasive arthroscopy and arthrocentesis (joint lavage) to open-joint surgery for more complex conditions. Arthroscopy uses a small camera to visualize and treat the joint through tiny incisions. The specific approach depends on the nature and severity of your TMJ condition, which Dr. Haigney will determine after thorough evaluation.
What is recovery like after TMJ surgery? +
Recovery varies by procedure type. Minimally invasive procedures like arthrocentesis allow return to normal activities within a few days. Arthroscopic surgery typically requires 1-2 weeks of recovery. Open-joint surgery may require several weeks. Physical therapy is an important part of recovery to restore jaw movement and function.
What causes TMJ disorders? +
TMJ disorders can result from jaw injury or trauma, arthritis, habitual teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), disc displacement within the joint, connective tissue diseases, or stress-related jaw tension. In many cases, the exact cause is multifactorial. A comprehensive evaluation including imaging helps Dr. Haigney identify the specific factors contributing to your condition.
