Enjoy Life Again With Customized TMJ Therapy

They may be small, but the joints just below your ears are incredibly important to your everyday life. They’re the hinges that allow you to open and close your mouth. You rely on them so much, you hardly give them a second thought. All day long, your temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is hard at work so you can eat, speak, and laugh comfortably. It isn’t until you suffer the significant pain of a TMJ disorder, or TMD, that you realize just how much these tiny joints can impact your quality of life.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment / Teeth Grinding

Does TMJ treatment work?

Yes, our TMJ treatment has been able to help many patients over the years relieve their pain for good. No matter which type of treatment you end up going with, the team here at Harvey and Nichols Family Dentistry will make sure it’s the right one for you. Besides you, no one wants your treatment to be successful more than we do.

How long does TMJ treatment take?

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. Others may need orthodontics or restorations to realign teeth and reduce grinding for the long term.

Will insurance pay for my TMJ treatment?

Your insurance may pay for part of your TMJ treatment. We can help determine what your plan will and won’t cover and what your portion of the cost may be. Keep in mind that you can choose third-party financing through CareCredit, which offers low-interest payment options, to help pay for your treatment.

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. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to visit our practice for help.
