Creating Grand Smiles for Everyone

We offer Quality Dental Care With a personal Touch

Jaw pain, headaches, or trouble opening your mouth could signal a TMJ disorder. TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, affects the joint connecting your upper and lower jaw. When this joint does not work properly, it can cause pain and discomfort.

Grand Family Dentistry offers customized TMJ treatments designed to relieve your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Our experienced team is committed to helping you feel better and get back to enjoying everyday activities.

Understanding TMJ Treatments

The temporomandibular joint controls your jaw’s movements, like chewing, speaking, and yawning. TMJ disorders occur when this joint is injured, misaligned, or under stress. Causes may include grinding your teeth, stress, or an injury to the jaw.

Symptoms of TMJ include jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty opening or closing your mouth. You might also hear popping or clicking sounds when moving your jaw. Other signs include pressure behind the eyes, earaches, and changes in how your teeth align.

Grand Family Dentistry tailors TMJ treatments to each patient. Depending on your symptoms, options include lifestyle adjustments, exercises, or a custom mouth guard. For severe cases, surgery may be recommended.

Benefits of Professional TMJ Treatments

Professional TMJ treatments provide relief and protect your oral health. They address the root cause of your symptoms and help you feel better.

  • Pain Relief
  • Treating TMJ can ease jaw pain, frequent headaches, and discomfort while eating or speaking. Relief from pain allows you to enjoy meals and conversations without worry.

  • Improved Jaw Function
  • Expert treatments restore smooth jaw movement. As a result, it will become easier to open, close, and use your mouth. This significantly improves daily tasks like chewing and speaking.

  • Better Sleep
  • A custom night guard can prevent grinding. It reduces tension and helps you sleep more peacefully. Better sleep means waking up refreshed and free from jaw stiffness.

  • Preventing Long-Term Damage
  • Without treatment, TMJ can cause serious wear on your teeth and worsen joint problems over time. Addressing the issue early protects your teeth and prevents complications.

  • Personalized Solutions
  • Professional care makes sure your treatment plan is tailored to your specific symptoms and needs. Whether it’s exercises, lifestyle changes, or a custom mouth guard, your care will be unique to you.
