TMD Treatment and Full Mouth Rehabilitation
TMD is often due to loss of jaw functionality as a result of multiple missing teeth, incorrect alignment, improper contour, or significantly worn teeth. That's why, at Comfort Dental Meadowbrook, TMD treatment and full mouth rehabilitation frequently go hand-in-hand.
Our skilled dental team can diagnose and treat TMJ disorder with advanced techniques included occlusal analysis, splint therapy, and nocturnal orthotics to fight bruxism. For our dental team, treating TMJ disorder begins with restoring proper jaw mechanics to alleviate jaw pain and discomfort. Our team can then provide the comprehensive dental treatment solutions needed to restore jaw function, including the ability to bite, chew, and speak with ease.
Full-mouth rehabilitation for TMJ patients includes repairing any damage to the jawbone and surrounding structures, alleviating related pain, and restoring proper bite function. Our combination of restorative dentistry and TMJ therapy will also restore the aesthetic appearance of your smile!
