TMJ Therapy
If you experience migraines or pain in your neck, ears, face, or shoulders, you might have TMJ disorder. After a thorough examination to determine the source of your pain, Dr. Cekada will recommend treatment options to eradicate it.
Two small joints in front of your ears allow smooth operation of your jaw. When these joints are aggravated by factors such as a misaligned bite, stress, fatigue, or bruxism (teeth grinding), pain and swelling occur. A custom-fitted nightguard often alleviates these symptoms. Dr. Cekada may also recommend building up your back teeth to align your jaw and eradicate the pain of TMJ disorder. If your bite is misaligned due to missing teeth, prosthetic therapies such as dental implants can restore alignment and eliminate pain. We’ll work with you to choose the best therapy for your situation.
