Unparalleled Treatment of TMJ Pain & Dysfunction
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunction, or TMD, includes chronic pain, clicking, popping, or locking that affects one or both jaw joints’ ability to function correctly. TMD can cause excessive wearing down of the teeth, severe facial pain, and relentless headaches.

With all this technology in-house, rest assured that if you come to us with a problem, we will be able to pinpoint the exact cause, and present you with a long-lasting solution, avoiding jaw surgery in almost all cases.
