Comprehensive TMJ Services at Andover Family Dentistry
At Andover Family Dentistry, we prioritize the holistic well-being of our patients, offering Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) services to address discomfort and dysfunction associated with this complex joint. Our dedicated team of dental professionals is committed to providing effective solutions tailored to your unique needs, including the fabrication of hard occlusal guards and occlusal orthotic devices.
Hard Occlusal Guard Fabrication
For individuals experiencing symptoms of TMJ disorders, such as jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and muscle tension, a hard occlusal guard can offer significant relief. Our skilled dentists specialize in the fabrication of customized hard occlusal guards, designed to alleviate the effects of bruxism (teeth grinding) and provide a protective barrier for your teeth during sleep.
The process begins with a thorough examination of your jaw and bite to ensure precise measurements. We create a durable, comfortable, and tailored occlusal guard. By wearing this guard at night and during periods of stress, patients can reduce the impact of teeth grinding, minimize muscle strain, and promote overall jaw comfort.
Occlusal Orthotic Device Fabrication
In cases where TMJ symptoms are more complex, our dental experts may recommend an occlusal orthotic device. This customized appliance is meticulously crafted to optimize the alignment of your jaw joints and improve overall jaw function. By creating a balanced bite and reducing undue stress on the TMJ, an occlusal orthotic device can contribute to the alleviation of pain, headaches, and related symptoms.
At Andover Family Dentistry, our commitment to patient-centric care extends to our TMJ services. We prioritize open communication and patient education throughout the process, ensuring that you feel confident and informed about the recommended treatments.
If you're experiencing TMJ-related discomfort or suspect you may benefit from a hard occlusal guard or occlusal orthotic device, schedule a consultation with Andover Family Dentistry. Our expertise and personalized approach to TMJ care aim to restore your oral health and enhance your overall well-being.
