Providing Customized Treatment to Eliminate TMJ Discomfort
If you experience migraine headaches or unexplained face, jaw, neck, or shoulder pain, temporomandibular joint(TMJ) disorder may be to blame. Our dentists use custom, non-surgical therapies to relieve TMJ-related discomfort and restore wellness.
Two small joints in front of your ears are responsible for the smooth operation of your jaw. Stress, a misaligned bite, bruxism (teeth grinding), or injury can aggravate these joints and cause pain and pressure. Your dentist will examine your teeth, mouth, and jaw to find out if TMJ dysfunction is the cause of your pain. Once diagnosed, you can begin non-surgical therapy to correct your condition.
Many patients benefit from custom-fitted nightguards that promote proper jaw alignment, prevent nighttime teeth grinding, and ease stressed muscles. In some cases, building up the surface of back teeth restores a proper bite and will provide relief from symptoms. We’ll work with you to determine the cause of your TMJ disorder and the appropriate treatment to eliminate your distress.
