Understanding TMJ Disorders & Surgical Intervention
At Mayfield Ranch Dental, we understand the debilitating effects of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders on your daily life. Our experienced dentists and team provide comprehensive TMJ treatments in Round Rock, Texas, to relieve your discomfort, restore normal jaw function and improve your quality of life.
- TMJ disorders affect the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement, leading to pain, discomfort and limited mobility.
- Common symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds and difficulty chewing.
In severe cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, surgical options such as arthroscopy or joint replacement may be considered. This is typically the last resort, and our dentists will not recommend a surgical intervention for your TMJ disorder unless all other options have failed to help you regain proper jaw function.
Tailored TMJ Treatment
Once the diagnosis is established, Dr. Jai Kolliboyana can design a personalized treatment plan to address your unique needs. Our treatment options include:
Oral Splints
Custom-made oral splints help alleviate pressure on the TMJ and encourage healing.
Physical Therapy
Targeted exercises can strengthen jaw muscles and improve joint function.
Medications
Pain relievers, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to manage symptoms.
Lifestyle Modifications
We provide guidance on dietary changes, stress management and relaxation techniques to reduce TMJ strain.
Evaluation
Personalized TMJ Evaluation
Our approach to TMJ treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause of your symptoms. This assessment includes:
- Patient History: We take a detailed medical history to understand your symptoms and any contributing factors.
- Physical Examination: A comprehensive examination of the jaw, neck and surrounding structures is conducted.
- Imaging: X-rays or MRI scans may be recommended to visualize the TMJ’s internal structure.
