We Offer Three Types of Corrective TMJ Surgery in Clearfield, UT
With this technique, a tiny camera is inserted through small incisions so your jaw joints can be examined for damage. Inflamed or damaged tissue can be removed through the incision, allowing your TMJs to function properly.
Known as open joint surgery, the TMJs are exposed so the joint discs can be replaced or repaired. Damaged or scarred bone tissue can also be removed.
In extreme cases, the temporomandibular joints may need to be replaced with artificial ones. This effective procedure can greatly improve a patient's ability to live without pain caused by TMJ disorder.

Dr. Newey has literally saved my life! My jaw was locked and I had extreme pain every day for months. From the first call I made to the office Dr. Newey and his team gave me fantastic care. He recently surgically repaired my jaw and I have never felt better. I have recovered quickly and it is all thanks to Dr. Newey. I seriously wish I could give him 10,000 stars because he is a miracle worker.

Dr. Newey will never push surgery on you as a solution to TMJ disorder. However, he will strongly recommend it if your jaw locks when you open your mouth, your TMJs are dislocated, or the joints are extremely damaged by wear, injury, or arthritis.

TMJ vs. TMD: What’s the Difference?
- Many people casually say they “have TMJ” when describing jaw pain, headaches, or related symptoms. While this phrase is common, it isn’t technically correct. TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint itself: the hinge on each side of your jaw that allows it to open, close, and move side to side. These joints make everyday functions like chewing, speaking, and yawning possible.
- The actual condition is called TMD, or temporomandibular disorder. This term describes problems that prevent the TMJs from working properly. TMD can cause a wide range of uncomfortable or even debilitating symptoms, from chronic headaches to jaw locking.
- Understanding this distinction helps patients talk about their condition more accurately and seek the right type of care.
Your Temporomandibular Joints in Action
This video shows how important your TMJs are in relation to healthy jaw movement. Temporomandibular disorders can easily stop them from working properly, causing you pain.
Causes of TMD and TMJ-Related Pain
There are many causes of pain related to TMDs or your temporomandibular joints. During your visit to our practice serving Clearfield, Layton, and beyond, Dr. Newey will use the most advanced dental technology, including precise digital X-rays and our cutting-edge 3D imaging system, to diagnose your TMJ issues. He will then develop a personalized treatment plan based on the source of your jaw discomfort. TMD and TMJ pain can be caused by:
- Grinding or clenching your teeth
- Injury to your jaw
- Arthritis of the jaw joint
- Impaired movement of the TMJs
- Tight jaw muscles due to stress
- Torn or damaged TMJ muscles
- Damaged TMJ cartilage
