TMJ/TMD Treatment
Find relief from TMJ pain and jaw discomfort with specialized treatments at Garden Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry. Custom solutions for lasting comfort.
Who needs this service and what awaits you during it
Jaw pain, headaches, clicking sounds, or difficulty chewing could all be signs of TMJ disorder (TMD), a condition that affects the temporomandibular joints, which connect your jaw to your skull. At Gardens Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer custom TMJ treatment plans designed to relieve pain, restore function, and protect your long-term oral health.
Whether your symptoms are caused by stress, bite misalignment, teeth grinding, or joint inflammation, our goal is to provide gentle, non-invasive relief that helps you regain comfort and control.
Explore our solutions
We start with a thorough evaluation of your jaw, bite, and muscle function to uncover the root of your symptoms. Based on your diagnosis, your treatment may include:
Custom Nightguards (Occlusal Splints)
These dental appliances are worn while you sleep to reduce jaw clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism), helping relax the muscles and minimize joint pressure.Bite Adjustment (Occlusal Equilibration)
If your teeth don’t align properly, we may gently reshape certain tooth surfaces to correct your bite and reduce strain on your jaw joints.Orthotic Appliances for Daytime Use
In some cases, a daytime orthotic device may be prescribed to stabilize the jaw and guide it into a more natural resting position.TMJ-Friendly Botox® Therapy
For patients with muscle-related tension or chronic clenching, Botox can help relax the overactive jaw muscles and provide relief from headaches and jaw pain.Physical Therapy & Stretching Guidance
We may recommend exercises, massage, or posture changes to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness.Referral for Complex or Surgical Cases
For advanced joint degeneration or persistent dislocation, we can refer you to a trusted TMJ specialist or oral surgeon.

Jaw pain or soreness, especially in the morning or after eating
Clicking, popping, or grinding noises in the jaw
Limited jaw movement or lockjaw
Headaches, neck pain, or earaches
Facial fatigue or tenderness
Worn-down or flattened teeth from grinding

Chronic stress or anxiety (leading to clenching)
Bite misalignment or missing teeth
Injury or trauma to the jaw

Our approach is conservative and personalized, focusing on relieving discomfort, protecting your teeth and joints, and restoring proper jaw function. Most cases can be managed with non-surgical treatment and show improvement within a few weeks of starting care.
