Sedation DentistryIf you suffer from TMJ disorder, our team is committed to relieving your pain and discomfort. TMJ disorder is an issue that affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jawbone to your skull. It can cause pain, stiffness, clicking or popping sounds, jaw locking, headaches, and difficulty chewing. TMJ disorder can result from teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw injury, arthritis, stress, or bite misalignment.

The treatment process for TMJ disorder will depend on a few factors, including the severity of your case and the cause.
With a thorough exam, including evaluating your jaw movement, symptoms, and bite (with X-rays if needed), we will determine the best treatment options for you. Lifestyle and diet changes may be enough to treat some cases.
If a night guard is best, we will customize your appliance to match your mouth’s shape and bite. Wearing your night guard while sleeping can reduce teeth grinding, relieve jaw pressure, and help your alignment. You can experience relief in a few weeks, with full results typically seen in three to six months. For more severe cases, additional or alternative treatment may be recommended.
Dentists diagnose and treat TMJ disorder through a combination of exams, imaging, and personalized treatment plans. The process typically involves:
TMJ disorder can go away on its own, especially if symptoms are mild and caused by temporary stress or jaw strain. In these cases, simple lifestyle changes—like eating soft foods, avoiding gum, and managing stress—can lead to improvement over time.
However, moderate to severe or chronic TMJ cases often require long-term management. Ongoing treatment like night guards, jaw exercises, and stress reduction may be necessary to keep symptoms under control and prevent flare-ups.
It’s best to consult our team early—catching it sooner can help avoid more serious issues later on.
