TMD Therapy

At Lakeview Dental, we believe in the power of cutting-edge technology and personalized care to treat TMD. Our approach to TMD therapy is centered around understanding the cause of the issues. Malocclusion, or a problem in the way your teeth bite together, often contributes substantially to TMD and TMJ issues. We have an amazing piece of equipment called a TSCAN that can measure how your teeth are biting together and identify if one tooth or teeth is/are receiving more force than normal. With this information, we can identify fixes (often minor!) in order to equal out the bite and limit the stress on your temporomandibular muscles.

We offer a range of TMD therapy options to suit every need and condition, from non-surgical treatments to more advanced procedures. Our services include:

• Custom-fitted oral appliances to reduce jaw tension
• Occlusal Adjustments to correct bite issues
• TENS therapies to relax tight jaw muscles
• Physical therapy techniques tailored for TMD relief
• State-of-the-art laser therapy to promote healing and reduce inflammation
• Guidance on lifestyle adjustments to help manage symptoms

What sets Lakeview Dental apart is our comprehensive assessment process: We want to identify the problem at its root! Before recommending any treatment, we conduct a thorough examination to understand the root cause of your TMD. This allows us to create a custom-tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific symptoms and concerns.

Our patient-centric approach ensures that you're fully informed and comfortable throughout your treatment journey. We dedicate significant time to discussing your condition and treatment options, ensuring that you're an active participant in your path to relief.

Recognizing the symptoms of TMD early can significantly improve the effectiveness of your treatment. Common signs include:

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Difficulty or discomfort while chewing
• Aching pain in and around your ear
