Relieve Jaw Pain with Effective TMJ Treatment
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing, making everyday activities uncomfortable. If you experience clicking or popping in your jaw, soreness, or tension in your face and neck, TMJ treatment can provide relief. Our dental office offers customized solutions to reduce pain and restore proper jaw function.
TMJ disorder occurs when the jaw joint becomes inflamed or misaligned. This can happen due to teeth grinding, jaw clenching, arthritis, or injury. Stress can also contribute to TMJ issues by increasing muscle tension. Without treatment, TMJ disorder can worsen over time, leading to chronic discomfort and even difficulty opening or closing the mouth.
There are several effective treatment options for TMJ disorder. A custom-made night guard helps prevent teeth grinding and reduces strain on the jaw joint while you sleep. Botox injections can relax overactive jaw muscles, relieve tension, and minimize pain. Physical therapy exercises improve jaw mobility and strengthen supporting muscles. In severe cases, more advanced dental treatments or orthodontic adjustments may be necessary to correct bite alignment and relieve pressure on the joint.
Treating TMJ disorder not only reduces pain but also prevents further complications such as tooth damage, headaches, and muscle strain. Addressing the underlying cause can restore comfortable jaw movement and improve overall quality of life.
Fast and Reliable Emergency Dentistry When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies can happen anytime and cause pain, discomfort, and stress. Emergency dentistry provides fast relief and urgent care to protect your oral health, whether you have a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth. If you’re experiencing sudden dental pain or an injury, seeking immediate treatment can prevent further complications and save your tooth.
Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, cracked or fractured teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and soft tissue injuries to the gums or lips. A knocked-out tooth requires quick action—if treated within an hour, there’s a good chance it can be saved. If you experience swelling, bleeding, or intense pain, immediately seeing us is essential.
Emergency dental treatment varies depending on the issue. Pain relief is a priority, so we may provide medication or perform a procedure to ease discomfort. For broken or chipped teeth, bonding, crowns, or fillings can restore function and appearance.
Infections or abscesses may require antibiotics or root canal therapy to prevent the infection from spreading. If a tooth is completely knocked out, Dr. Brand may be able to reinsert and stabilize it.
Transformative Cosmetic Dentistry
A beautiful smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. If you’re unhappy with stained, chipped, misaligned, or uneven teeth, cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. With modern dental treatments, you can enhance your appearance and improve your oral health at the same time.
Cosmetic dentistry includes a range of treatments designed to improve the look of your teeth. Professional teeth whitening removes deep stains and brightens your smile in just one visit. Porcelain veneers cover imperfections like chips, gaps, or discoloration, creating a flawless, natural look.
Dental bonding is a quick and affordable way to fix small flaws, while Invisalign® straightens teeth without needing metal braces. For more significant issues, dental crowns or implants restore both beauty and function.
These treatments improve aesthetics and support long-term dental health. Straight, well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Repairing chips and cracks prevents further damage while replacing missing teeth and maintaining proper bite alignment.
Effective Solutions for Common Dental Concerns
Maintaining a healthy smile is essential for oral health and overall well-being. Many people experience common dental issues like cavities, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, or damaged teeth. Fortunately, our dentist office offers effective treatments to restore their smiles and prevent further problems.
Cavities are one of the most frequent dental concerns. They are caused by plaque buildup and bacteria that weaken enamel. If left untreated, they can lead to pain and infection. Dental fillings restore the tooth’s structure and stop decay from spreading. For more severe cases, crowns or root canals may be needed to save the tooth.
Gum disease affects millions of people and can lead to swollen gums, bleeding, and even tooth loss if not treated. Deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, remove plaque and bacteria below the gumline to restore gum health. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene can help prevent gum disease from progressing.
Tooth sensitivity is another common issue, often caused by enamel erosion or receding gums. Using desensitizing toothpaste and fluoride treatments can strengthen teeth and reduce discomfort. If the sensitivity is due to an exposed tooth root, bonding or gum grafting may provide relief.
Treatments like dental bonding, veneers, or crowns restore strength and appearance to chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth. Dental implants, bridges, or dentures can replace missing teeth and restore full function if tooth loss is a concern.
