Dr. Gary Bouloux joined the Emory Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2006. He was appointed program director of the OMFS residency in 2013, serving until he transitioned to interim chief of the Division of OMFS in 2020. He was also appointed president of the American Society of Temporomandibular Joint Surgeons in 2020.

He is credited with introducing advanced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy and total joint replacement for TMJ to Emory, and is considered one of the world's leaders in evidence-based management of temporomandibular dysfunction. He leads the division in the diagnosis and surgical management of trigeminal nerve injuries, including microsurgery and interpositional allogeneic nerve.

Dr. Bouloux's primary research evolves from his interest in TMJ dysfunction, and includes surgical outcomes, psychological predictors of outcomes, laser-assisted surgical arthroscopy, the use of hyaluronic acid, and metal hypersensitivity following TMJ total joint replacement. His multicenter studies into the efficiency of various surgical treatments for temporomandibular disorders have advanced the science and practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Dr. Bouloux received the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation Research Recognition Award in 2017 for his significant work in the area of TMJ dysfunction and treatment, as well as the Daniel Laskin Award for the most outstanding publications in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2018.
