Call For Lasting TMJ Relief

TMJ disorders often stem from issues like teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, injuries, or arthritis. Symptoms may include jaw pain, frequent headaches, clicking or popping sounds, and tooth sensitivity. These are all signs that your TMJs might need attention.

Your personalized treatment begins with a thorough evaluation, where your dentist will determine the best approach to alleviate your discomfort. For many patients, a custom-fitted night guard is a highly effective solution, especially to address nighttime grinding or clenching. Depending on your needs, additional treatments, such as restorative procedures, may be recommended to address underlying causes.

A custom night guard offers several key benefits:

• Pain Relief — By preventing grinding and clenching, the appliance allows your jaw to recover, easing discomfort over time.
• Superior Comfort — Designed with advanced digital technology, your guard fits perfectly. It offers greater comfort than over-the-counter options and encourages consistent use.
• Damage Prevention — Protect your teeth from the wear, chipping, and stress caused by grinding. This will save you from future dental repairs.

At our practice, we prioritize your understanding and comfort. Our team takes the time to walk you through each option so you can confidently choose the right path to a healthier, pain-free smile.
