TMD/TMJ

Relieve jaw pain and restore your bite balance.

If you’re struggling with frequent jaw pain, headaches, or a clicking sound when you chew, you may be suffering from TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder). At Sherman Oaks Dentistry, we offer customized, non-invasive treatments for TMJ dysfunction that target the root of the problem—bringing comfort, alignment, and long-term relief.

The temporomandibular joint is what allows you to open and close your mouth. When this joint is strained or misaligned, it can affect your ability to eat, speak, and even sleep comfortably. Our TMD treatments are designed to ease discomfort and restore natural jaw function.

What It Treats

• Jaw pain or soreness

• Clicking, popping, or locking jaw

• Chronic headaches or migraines

• Facial muscle tension

• Difficulty opening or closing the mouth

• Pain while chewing or yawning

• Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching)

Treatment Time

30 minutes to 1 hour per appointment, depending on the treatment plan.

Most patients see improvement with consistent care over several weeks or months.

Technology Used

• Digital bite analysis

• Intraoral scanners for custom appliances

• 3D imaging (when needed for advanced diagnostics)

• Muscle relaxation and jaw tracking systems

• High-quality lab-crafted nightguards
