TMJ Treatment

Dr. Gloria Barzi is committed to providing comprehensive dental care, which includes addressing conditions that affect not just the health of your teeth but your overall well-being. One such focus is on the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), a common condition that can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement. Our dedication lies in offering effective TMJ treatment options tailored to alleviate symptoms and improve our patients’ quality of life.

TMJ treatment aims to relieve pain, restore function and prevent further complications associated with TMJ disorders. These conditions may manifest through symptoms like jaw pain, difficulty chewing, clicking or locking of the jaw and even headaches. Our approach to TMJ treatment is patient-centric, focusing on non-invasive therapies to manage symptoms effectively.

The process of TMJ treatment at our practice involves a comprehensive evaluation followed by a personalized treatment plan, which may include:

• A thorough assessment of your jaw and bite to diagnose TMJ disorders accurately.
• Utilization of non-invasive treatments such as oral appliances or splints to reduce strain on the jaw, alleviate pain and correct misalignment.
• Implementing physical therapy techniques aimed at strengthening jaw muscles, increasing mobility and reducing discomfort.
• Recommendations for lifestyle adjustments and home care practices to manage symptoms and prevent exacerbation of the condition.

Benefits of TMJ treatment include:

• Significant reduction in jaw pain, discomfort and related symptoms, improving overall quality of life.
• Improved jaw function, making daily activities like eating and speaking more comfortable.
• Prevention of further jaw damage or complications associated with untreated TMJ disorders.
• A non-surgical approach to managing symptoms, focusing on conservative treatments that offer relief without the need for invasive procedures.
