Jaw Pain & TMJ

Personalized treatment for clicking, headaches, and chronic jaw pain caused by TMJ disorder.

Do you experience jaw pain, earaches, or headaches? Notice a clicking or popping sound when opening or closing your mouth? You might be dealing with TMJ disorder (TMD) — a condition affecting the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jawbone to your skull.

TMJ disorder (TMD) is a chronic condition that requires expert care. Our experienced dental team understands how TMD can affect your daily life — causing jaw pain, headaches, and discomfort. We provide personalized TMJ treatment in Los Angeles to help relieve symptoms and restore your comfort and jaw function.

TMD is often confused with TMJ, which refers to the actual joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. Everyone has two TMJs, one on each side of the face. While the exact cause of TMD can be hard to pinpoint, the symptoms are real, painful, and often chronic.

We create customized treatment plans to reduce discomfort and improve daily life. While there may be no permanent cure for TMD, we utilize proven treatments including night guards, bite correction, anti-inflammatory therapy, and — when necessary — oral surgery.
