TMJ Disorder Treatment | Georgetown Sedation Dentistry

TMJ disorder refers to a condition affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often characterized by pain, stiffness, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty chewing or opening the mouth. For those affected, TMJ disorder can have significant implications, impacting daily activities like eating, speaking, and sleeping.

At Georgetown Sedation Dentistry, we've integrated advanced technology and innovative techniques to effectively treat TMJ disorder, providing relief and restoring function to our patients' lives.

Our Treatments for TMJ Disorder

Xeomin® Injections

Xeomin® offers a non-surgical treatment option for alleviating the symptoms of TMJ disorder. It is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for jaw movement, thereby reducing muscle spasms and relieving pain. Xeomin® is administered through precise injections into the affected muscles, targeting specific areas of tension and discomfort. For patients who experience anxiety or fear surrounding dental procedures and injections, we offer IV sedation, general anesthesia, and other sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort and relaxation throughout the process.

Nightguards

Nightguards are custom-made oral appliances designed to alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorder by preventing teeth grinding and clenching during sleep. We utilize the 3Shape TRIOS® digital scanner to obtain detailed images of the patient's bite. With the aid of a 3D printer, we fabricate comfortable, tailored nightguards on the same day, delivering efficient and effective treatment.
