Feel Better & Enjoy Life More With TMJ Therapy

At Guilford Hills Dental Care, we know that each TMJ case is unique. That’s why we begin with a thorough examination using state-of-the-art digital and panoramic X-rays. These detailed images, combined with an occlusal analysis, help us understand how your teeth fit together when you bite. This information is crucial for developing your personalized treatment plan.

Our team has extensive experience treating TMJ disorders, and we’re committed to finding the right solution for your specific needs. We’ll explain each step of your treatment plan in clear, simple terms and answer all your questions. Regular checkups  help us monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan.

A custom TMJ appliance often provides excellent results, helping relieve tension on the jaw joints so they can heal. The appliance is typically worn while you sleep. It stops teeth grinding and jaw clenching, two habits that put pressure on your TMJs and can damage teeth.

However, some patients may need additional care for complete relief. Depending on your specific situation, your dentist may recommend:

  • Dental Restorations – When teeth become worn down from grinding or misalignment, they can worsen TMJ issues. Dental crowns and bridges can rebuild these damaged teeth, creating a more balanced bite that takes pressure off your TMJs. These restorations are custom-made to fit perfectly with your existing teeth and bite pattern.
  • Orthodontic Treatment – Misaligned teeth often contribute significantly to TMJ problems. Orthodontics can create proper bite alignment, which reduces stress on your jaw joints. This treatment typically takes 12–24 months and can provide lasting relief from TMJ symptoms.
  • Jaw Surgery – For severe TMJ disorders that don’t respond to other treatments, corrective jaw surgery might be necessary. This procedure realigns the jaw joints and surrounding structures to create proper function. While surgery is typically a last resort, it can provide dramatic relief for patients with structural jaw problems.

Throughout your treatment, we’ll work closely with you to ensure you’re comfortable and seeing improvement. If necessary, we’ll refer you to a specialist for advanced treatment options.

Besides you, no one wants your treatment to be successful more than we do.

We understand you want to end the pain caused by a TMJ disorder as soon as you can. The truth is that treatment can take weeks or months depending on the severity of your situation and what needs to be done. For most patients, an oral appliance is the perfect solution in and of itself. For others, orthodontics, dental restorations, or surgery may be needed to realign the teeth for the long term.

What are the signs of a TMJ disorder?

Signs of a TMJ disorder may include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth completely, facial pain, headaches, and ear pain or ringing. Some people may also experience neck and shoulder pain or toothaches unrelated to dental problems. Also, your jaw may feel locked or stuck.
