Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery is a procedure aimed at treating severe conditions and symptoms associated with the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull. This surgery is performed when conservative treatments fail to alleviate the pain or improve the joint's function. With world-class healthcare facilities and experienced medical professionals, Thailand is a top choice for those seeking TMJ surgery.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.

TMJ surgery is often considered as a last resort after conservative, non-surgical treatments have failed. The type of surgery depends on the specific nature of the patient's TMJ disorder. Arthrocentesis, arthroscopy, and open-joint surgery are among the most common TMJ procedures.
This surgery aims to alleviate pain, improve jaw function, and in some cases, correct irregularities or damage to the joint. It can be a solution for those suffering from severe TMJ disorders, causing persistent pain or significantly impacting their quality of life.
Preparing for TMJ surgery involves a comprehensive evaluation of your health. It may require an MRI, CT scans, and detailed X-rays to fully understand the joint's condition. Additionally, your surgeon will provide preoperative instructions which may include dietary guidelines, medication adjustments, and cessation of smoking or alcohol.
Selecting an experienced surgical team is crucial for successful TMJ surgery in Thailand. Your team should be well-versed in various TMJ procedures and possess a solid track record of patient satisfaction.
TMJ surgery varies in complexity. Arthrocentesis, a minimally invasive procedure, involves the use of small needles inserted into the joint, allowing the surgeon to irrigate the joint and remove inflammatory byproducts. Arthroscopy involves a tiny camera inserted into the joint through a small incision, providing a clear view for the surgeon to remove or reposition tissues.
Open-joint surgery is reserved for severe cases where the joint needs more significant repairs or even replacement. The specific procedure will depend on your unique TMJ condition.
Recovery periods vary depending on the type of TMJ surgery performed. Patients can expect some level of discomfort, swelling, and possibly bruising. A liquid or soft diet may be required for a period, and physical therapy exercises might be recommended to help regain full jaw function.
After TMJ surgery in Thailand, patients should ideally plan for a recovery period of at least two weeks in the country. This period allows for adequate rest, healing, and follow-up appointments with the surgical team.
In Thailand, the cost for TMJ surgery ranges from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and specifics of each case. It's important to note that this cost does not include travel and accommodation expenses.

TMJ surgery in Thailand typically costs between $2,000 and $6,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and specifics of each case.
The recovery time for TMJ surgery varies depending on the procedure's complexity. In general, patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few weeks, although full healing can take several months.
It's usually safe to fly about 2-3 weeks after TMJ surgery, but this can vary depending on the complexity of your surgery and your individual healing progress.
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
" I returned home safe and sound, Thank you for all your help :)"
