TMJ / TMD Treatment in Irving, TX

If You Have a Painful or Clicking Jaw It May Be TMJ / TMD

TMJ is an abbreviation for the temporomandibular joints that are in front of the ear on both sides of the jaw. TMJ disorders are referred to as TMD, where the “d” stands for “dysfunction.”

Your temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull and is one of the most complex joints in your body. This joint is responsible for talking, chewing, yawning as well as other functions and when it is out of alignment, it can lead to a neuromuscular disorder of the jaw, which can cause chronic jaw pain, teeth damage, and other painful symptoms throughout your body. This condition is commonly known as TMJ and TMD.

    Absolute best dentist and staff that I have ever encountered! So very friendly and welcoming to new clients. Also, I've learned more about my dental care in 2 visits than I have in my entire life! 10/10 highly recommend.

    I've never written a review for a dentist before, but I want others to know this practice is outstanding. I know when they find something that needs to be corrected, they're telling me the truth and that I'm not be charged for unnecessary services or care. Their staff is professional yet I feel like I'm a member of their family each time I come in for care.

    The whole staff is nice, they make you feel like friends not just some random patient coming in. They are very accommodating and can fit you in just about any time. He has an after hours number that he responds to almost immediately. Just a great place.
