Looking for trusted relief from jaw discomfort and headaches? Jaw pain, chronic headaches, facial soreness, or a clicking jaw can all point to TMJ disorder, a condition involving the joints and muscles that control jaw movement.
At Avenue Dental Care in Spokane, we provide personalized TMJ care designed to relieve discomfort, protect your smile, and restore everyday comfort.
Our approach is thoughtful and stress-free, combining advanced clinical training with convenient, in-house care, so you can get answers and relief from the same dental team you know and trust.
Understanding TMJ Disorder
The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) connect your jaw to your skull and are used constantly throughout the day. When these joints or the surrounding muscles are overworked or misaligned, TMJ disorder can develop.
Common TMJ symptoms include:
- Jaw pain, stiffness, or soreness
- Headaches or migraines
- Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
- Facial, neck, or shoulder tension
- Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth fully
- Tooth wear from clenching or grinding
A comprehensive evaluation allows us to identify the source of your symptoms and recommend the most effective treatment options.
Our Approach to Comprehensive TMJ Care
At Avenue Dental Care in north Spokane, TMJ treatment begins with a detailed examination of your bite, jaw function, and dental health. Because most services are handled in-house, your care stays streamlined, coordinated, and centered on your comfort.
In-house treatment options for TMJ disorder may include:
Custom Night Guards
Custom-made night guards help reduce strain on the jaw joints, prevent damage from teeth grinding, and ease muscle tension during sleep. Designed specifically for your bite, night guards offer superior comfort and long-term effectiveness.
Bite Evaluation and Occlusal Analysis
An uneven bite can place excess stress on the jaw over time. We evaluate how your teeth fit together to determine whether bite adjustments or restorative solutions may help improve alignment and reduce discomfort.
Conservative Solutions for Pain Relief
Many TMJ cases respond well to non-invasive treatment. Our team focuses on conservative approaches whenever possible to support healing while minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
Our team will always take the time to listen, evaluate, and create a treatment plan that supports both immediate relief and long-term jaw health.
