End Your Jaw Pain Now With TMJ Treatment In Durango

One of the joints you use most is likely the one you think about the least. It’s your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that allows you to open and close your mouth, and if it becomes misaligned, the pain you’ll feel will make it hard for you to focus on much else. Dr. John Hening and our team can help with TMJ treatment in Durango, CO.

Our effective solutions for TMJ disorder and teeth grinding will:

  • Relieve the pressure being placed on your jaw
  • Alleviate painful headaches, migraines, and other symptoms
  • Reduce your risk for worn, damaged tooth enamel
  • Prevent you from clenching your teeth together so your jaw can heal

Let us help protect your teeth and get you back to living your life free of TMJ pain. Call 970-507-8391 today to request an appointment.

Receive Expert Care For Your TMJ Pain

Our team at Junction Creek Family Dentistry wants you to have the highest standard of care possible. That’s why we’re committed to continuing our education and training to serve you best.

Dr. Hening is a member of Spear Education and the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, so you’re in the hands of a highly trained expert in relieving TMJ pain and its various symptoms, like:

  • Trouble opening and closing your mouth
  • Pain or discomfort while chewing food
  • Frequent headaches or migraines
  • Involuntary teeth grinding and jaw clenching, especially when stressed
  • Muscle tension and soreness in your face, neck, ears, and shoulders
  • Clicking or popping noises in your jaw when chewing, laughing, or yawning
  • Damaged tooth enamel or increased teeth sensitivity

We can create a custom mouthguard that fits comfortably over your teeth. It will help prevent you from grinding and clenching your jaw, alleviate pain and muscle tension, and let your jaw heal naturally. Our treatment can also preserve your smile and reduce your risk for oral health problems by properly aligning your teeth and preventing damage and premature wear.

To find relief and healing with our Durango TMJ treatment, call us today at 970-507-8391 or contact us online to request an appointment.

 

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment/Teeth Grinding

Does TMJ treatment work?

If it is painful to open and close your jaw, or if your jaw sometimes locks into place, you could be suffering from TMJ. A custom mouthguard can help eliminate your pain. It will fit comfortably in your mouth and move your lower jaw slightly forward, easing the tension on your TMJ. Plus, it will also help prevent teeth grinding, which can damage your tooth enamel.

What is the best TMJ treatment for relief from jaw pain?

Every patient is different, with unique, individual circumstances, so it’s difficult to put an exact timeline on your treatment period. Our goal is to provide you the highest level of care possible so that you can get back to living the kind of life you deserve. Your treatment will always be designed with that end in mind.

How much does TMJ treatment cost?

Treatment costs for TMJ pain can vary widely, depending on a number of factors. If you have dental insurance, we’ll be happy to help you verify your coverage so you know your estimated out-of-pocket costs before you begin treatment. For your convenience, we also accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.
