Living with TMJ problems can feel like carrying an unexpected weight on your shoulders (and jaws). The discomfort, the clicking sounds, the constant aches that radiate up to your temples or down to your neck—it’s more than “just stress.” It’s real. And you shouldn’t have to ignore it or “learn to live with it.”
Here at Parkway Modern Dentistry, we can bring relief, restore balance, and help you keep smiling pain-free with our TMJ treatment in Houston, TX.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the small but strong hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. When this joint is damaged or misaligned, it leads to a disorder called temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD). TMJ disorder causes can include lifestyle issues like stress, misalignments or bite problems, injuries, or even arthritis in the joint. Below are some symptoms to watch out for.
At Parkway Modern Dentistry, our TMD solutions both relieve temporary pain and prevent future problems. One of the best options? A custom-fitted night guard from our bruxism specialist in Houston. These oral appliances protect your teeth from grinding, prevent your jaw from clenching, and keep your mouth relaxed while you sleep.
We also explore lifestyle and stress management strategies. Simple habit adjustments can help address the root causes of TMJ pain. For some, we can also explore additional paths to relief like jaw exercises, physical therapy, or even orthodontics.
Store-bought guards may seem like a quick fix, but our guards are matched to your unique dental structure for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
There isn’t a universal cure for TMJ disorders because there isn’t a universal cause. That’s why we focus on providing personalized management for long-term relief.
Results vary for each patient, but many notice a significant improvement after starting treatment. We don’t just treat your symptoms; we help you build a long-term plan for lasting relief.
Many dental insurance plans cover TMJ-related treatments, including night guards. Our friendly front desk team is happy to help you check your benefits and fully understand your coverage.
We combine seasoned expertise with fresh energy to deliver exceptional dentistry for generations to come.
Positivity, growth, integrity—we work to embody these values so that you leave not only with a healthier smile but a happier one too.
High-quality care shouldn’t come with an intimidating price tag. Access premium dental services, modern amenities, and advanced technology.
Pain doesn’t belong in your day-to-day life. With modern solutions and a team that truly cares, relief isn’t just a possibility; it’s a priority. Whether you’re tackling TMJ discomfort for the first time or you’ve been dealing with it for years, put Parkway Modern Dentistry on the case.
