TMJ treatments

TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joints which connect your lower jaw to your skull. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), more than 15 percent of American adults suffer TMJ symptoms. All these symptoms are signs of grinding or clenching your teeth, likely while you sleep. The intense grinding of these powerful jaw muscles causes pain to the teeth, surrounding tissues, joints and other muscles. Dr. Marisol Lopez-Belio can help you find the type of treatment needed for your particular problem.

We have a number of treatments available for TMJ disorders. When you come in for a consultation, we will help determine which TMJ disorder treatment is best suited to fit your needs. For more information on TMJ treatments contact our office and make an appointment.
