Are you struggling with jaw pain, headaches, or bite discomfort? These symptoms may be signs of a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), often referred to as TMJ.

Our personalized treatment plans are designed to restore balance, reduce inflammation, and improve your jaw function—without surgery.

Understanding TMJ / TMD

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and allows essential functions like speaking, chewing, and yawning. When this joint becomes misaligned or inflamed due to stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), trauma, arthritis, or bite issues, it can result in TMD—causing chronic pain and affecting your quality of life.

Common symptoms of TMD include:

  • Jaw stiffness or pain
  • Clicking or popping when opening the mouth
  • Frequent headaches or earaches
  • Facial pain or tenderness
  • Difficulty chewing or locking of the jaw

Comprehensive TMJ Evaluation

At Vacaville Dental Group, your journey to relief begins with a thorough TMJ evaluation. Our skilled team will assess your jaw movement, bite alignment, and muscle condition to pinpoint the root cause of your discomfort.

Our evaluation includes:

  • A complete examination of the jaw joint and surrounding muscles
  • Analysis of your bite alignment and jaw range of motion
  • Digital imaging to identify joint inflammation, wear, or abnormalities
With a clear diagnosis, we create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and symptoms.

Bite Analysis and Precise Adjustments

An imbalanced bite can put excess stress on your TMJ. Our bite analysis and adjustment service involves gently reshaping select teeth to improve bite alignment and reduce tension on your jaw.

Benefits include:

  • Enhanced jaw function
  • Decreased muscle strain
  • Long-term relief from pain and discomfort

Custom Night Guards for Teeth Grinding

Bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding, is a major contributor to TMJ issues. Our custom night guards are designed to protect your teeth and relax your jaw muscles while you sleep.

Night guard benefits:

  • Comfortable, custom fit
  • Reduced jaw tension and headaches
  • Prevention of tooth wear and joint damage

Non-Invasive TMJ / TMD Treatment Options

Our goal is to provide effective, conservative care to alleviate your symptoms. We offer several non-surgical therapies, including:
  • Relaxation and jaw-stretching exercises
  • Anti-inflammatory medications or muscle relaxants
  • Collaborative care with physical therapists or chiropractors when needed

Don’t Let Your Dental Benefits Go to Waste: Use Them Before Year-End

If you have dental insurance, chances are you're paying for benefits that are designed to help keep your smile healthy. Unfortunately, many patients don't realize that these benefits often reset at the end of the plan year — meaning any unused coverage is lost. At Vacaville Dental Group, we want to make sure you get the most out of the plan you're already paying for by scheduling your preventive care and necessary treatments before your benefits expire.
