Relieve Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Florence

Dental problems like cavities and missing teeth aren’t the only issues our dentists can treat. They can also help relieve chronic jaw pain related to issues with your temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Since TMJ disorders (TMD) can be aggravated by issues ranging from teeth grinding to misaligned teeth, we provide several options for TMJ treatment in Florence. Treating your TMD will:

Receive the Right Solution for Your TMJ Pain

TMD has no definitive cause. Medical professionals believe many issues can contribute to the painful condition, including arthritis, teeth grinding or clenching, stress, and a misaligned bite.

Our dentists will likely suggest starting with the most conservative – and least costly – TMD treatment option: a custom-made mouthguard or splint that gently moves your jaw into a position that relieves pressure on your TMJ. It will also prevent you from grinding your teeth, which can lead to headaches and dental damage that requires repair with restorative dentistry.

If this doesn’t take care of the problem, they’ll consider altering a misaligned bite with treatments that may include placing dental crowns or possibly Invisalign.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment

TMJ treatment has helped many patients once again enjoy everyday activities like talking, eating, and laughing without pain. The key to successful TMJ therapy is finding a treatment method that works best for you. We offer several different ways to treat TMJ pain, including a custom-made mouthguard or correction of your bite using dental crowns or Invisalign. We’ll determine which one will work best for you.

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, Invisalign or restorations may be needed to realign teeth to reduce grinding for the long term.

This varies depending on your insurance policy. TMJ disorders are a health issue that should be treated, and our team will do our part to make sure you get the full benefits covered by your dental plan. You also should know that we offer flexible payment options, including no-interest financing, so you can manage the cost of your care.
