If you are struggling with recurring jaw pain, headaches, or clicking when you chew or speak, you may have TMJ disorder—an illness of the temporomandibular joints, which connect your jaw and skull together.
At West Knox Dentistry, we understand the pain and discomfort that TMJ issues can bring. Dr. Dimitrios J. Vareldzis and our team provide one-on-one TMJ treatments to reduce pain, restore normal functioning of the jaw, and protect oral health in the long run.
Symptoms You May Require TMJ Treatment:
◈ Jaw pain or tenderness
◈ Clicking or popping when opening and closing your mouth
◈ Recurring headaches or earaches
◈ Locked jaw or inability to chew
◈ Pain referable to the shoulders and the neck
How We Help
Your comfort is our priority. We offer customized TMJ treatment programs that may involve
◈ Bite modifications or splint therapy
◈ Personal nightguards to avoid grinding of teeth (bruxism)
◈ Photobiomodulation using low intensity ND:Yag laser
◈ Treat with injectable PRF ( platelet rich fibrin) derived from the patient’s spun blood
◈ Coordination with specialists if needed
Our goal is to remove your discomfort and restore your lifestyle with soothing yet effective care so you can eat, speak, and smile without pain.
