TMJ & Botox

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty opening or closing your mouth. At our practice, we offer customized TMJ treatment designed to relieve discomfort, restore proper jaw function, and improve your overall quality of life.

During your visit, our dentists perform a thorough evaluation of your jaw joint, bite, and surrounding muscles to identify the source of your symptoms. Based on your needs, your treatment plan may include custom nightguards, bite adjustments, therapeutic exercises, or other noninvasive therapies. Our goal is to reduce muscle strain, protect your teeth, and help your jaw move comfortably and naturally.

We’re committed to providing gentle, effective care that brings lasting relief.

Botox is a highly effective, minimally invasive option for patients suffering from TMJ-related muscle tension, jaw pain, clenching, or bruxism. When carefully injected into targeted jaw muscles, Botox relaxes overactive muscle activity, reducing strain on the TMJ and alleviating pain.

Botox therapy can help:

• Ease jaw tension and soreness

• Reduce teeth grinding and clenching

• Minimize headaches caused by muscle overuse

• Protect teeth from wear and fractures

• Improve comfort during daily activities such as chewing and speaking

The treatment is quick, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Most patients begin to feel relief within a few days, with results lasting several months. Botox can be used alone or in combination with other TMJ therapies for comprehensive care.
