Don’t let jaw pain limit you. Seek TMJ treatment from the experts!

Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which attaches your lower jaw to your skull, is one of the most complex in your body. The ball-in-socket design is how you’re able to move your lower jaw in virtually any direction and comfortably bite and chew foods, talk, yawn, and live your life freely. If this joint is dislocated or damaged, it can lead to chronic jaw and joint pain, headaches, teeth grinding and clenching, sore facial muscles, popping and clicking during movement, and even joint immobility and lock jaw.

If you are suffering from complex TM joint problems due to injury, osteoarthritis, immobility, tumor, or developmental deformity, we can help you find truly lasting relief with personalized TMJ treatment in Houston, TX. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Bellaire Modern Dental has the specialized medical, dental, and surgical training to help you find relief and restore your daily life. Although we will always recommend the conservative solution first, our oral surgeon and surgical team also have the experience and expertise to provide complex surgical treatment plans with predictable, lasting outcomes.

What To Expect After TMJ Treatment

  • Improved jaw and joint function
  • Balanced and healthy dental occlusion
  • Ability to eat a varied diet
  • Reduced or eliminated jaw and joint pain
  • Improve breathing and sleep apnea symptoms
