At Vibe Dental, our dentists and team offer TMJ treatment that focuses on easing discomfort and improving daily function. Many people experience jaw pain, stiffness or clicking without knowing the cause. These concerns can affect eating, speaking and sleep quality. Dr. Justin Palmer and associates begin by listening carefully to your symptoms. This information guides a thoughtful, step by step approach to care. Learn more about our providers on the Meet the Doctors page.
During your visit, our dentists will gently examine your jaw joints, muscles and bite. We may recommend images or measurements to better understand how your jaw moves. Your comfort is always the priority, so each part of the evaluation is explained clearly before it begins. You are encouraged to ask questions at any time. Together, we will discuss realistic goals, from reducing pain to improving jaw movement and protecting your teeth from extra stress.
Benefits of TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment can offer many benefits that extend beyond the jaw joint, including:
• Reduced jaw, face and neck discomfort
• Fewer headaches related to muscle tension
• Improved ability to eat, speak and yawn comfortably
• Less wear on teeth caused by clenching or grinding, which may be helped with custom night guards
Our dentists will design a personalized plan based on your needs, health history and lifestyle. This plan may include changes in habits, guidance on posture and strategies to reduce strain on your jaw during the day and night. Follow up visits help us track your progress and make adjustments as needed.
