TMJ Therapy

At DentalOne, we specialise in providing comprehensive TMJ therapy to alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Our experienced dental professionals conduct thorough evaluations of your jaw joint, muscles, and bite to identify the root cause of your TMJ issues.

We design personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, which may include custom-made oral appliances such as night guards or splints, physical therapy exercises, and lifestyle modifications. Additionally, we offer various pain management techniques, including medications, heat/cold therapy, and relaxation methods. For more severe cases, advanced treatments like Botox injections or referrals to specialists for surgical options may be recommended.

At DentalOne, our goal is to help you achieve long-term relief from TMJ symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.
