As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon,
Dr. Fred H. Simonton has a special interest in effective surgical treatment
for TMJ Syndrome,
wisdom teeth extraction,
orthognathic (corrective
jaw) surgery, and dental
implant placement. We invite you to explore the various sections of
the website detailing our practice areas and encourage you to contact us
if you need additional information.
Our practice, located north of Atlanta, Georgia, has developed this TMJ
Treatment website with a focus on helping you understand the basics
of TMJ Syndrome,
the misconceptions about TMJ
pain, and ways that TMJ
symptoms can be diagnosed and treated with TMJ
surgery.
