Jaw pain, frequent headaches, and difficulty chewing are common symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Our specialized TMJ syndrome therapies aim to alleviate discomfort and restore proper jaw function.

TMJ Treatment Options

At Creekview Dental, we offer a variety of approaches to treat TMJ disorders, including:

• Splint Therapy: Custom-made oral appliances that reduce strain on the jaw joint and minimize teeth grinding.
• Botox for Clenching: Botox injections relax overactive jaw muscles, relieving pain and tension associated with TMJ disorders.

Additionally, we conduct bite analysis to evaluate the alignment and function of your bite. Misalignments can contribute to TMJ disorders and other oral health issues. By addressing these underlying problems, we provide lasting relief and improved functionality.

Botox isn’t just for cosmetic purposes—it’s a proven treatment for jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and tension headaches caused by TMJ disorders. At Creekview Dental, our dentist is trained in using Botox to relax overworked muscles and reduce discomfort.

According to the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, Botox can provide significant relief for TMJ-related symptoms, with results lasting 3-6 months. This innovative approach is a non-invasive alternative to surgery, offering both comfort and convenience for patients.

Your tongue and airway health play a critical role in your overall well-being. Poor tongue posture or airway obstruction can lead to sleep apnea, snoring, and other complications. At Creekview Dental, we offer targeted therapies to address these concerns, improving both oral health and quality of life.

Our team works closely with patients to evaluate tongue posture, airway function, and related issues. By addressing these factors, we help promote better breathing, sleep, and overall comfort.

At Creekview Dental, we use the 3D iTero scanner to enhance diagnostic accuracy and streamline treatment planning. This advanced imaging technology creates detailed, three-dimensional models of your teeth and jaw, allowing for precise assessments and more predictable results.

The iTero scanner is particularly useful for:

• Designing custom oral appliances for TMJ syndrome therapies and splint therapy
• Planning orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign®
• Monitoring changes in your bite or oral health over time

Patients appreciate the comfort and efficiency of the iTero scanner, which eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions.
