TMJ Treatment

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.

Understanding TMJ Disorders

• 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.

Personalized TMJ Evaluation

Our approach to TMJ treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause of your symptoms. This assessment includes:

1. Patient History: We take a detailed medical history to understand your symptoms and any contributing factors.
2. Physical Examination: A comprehensive examination of the jaw, neck and surrounding structures is conducted.
3. Imaging: X-rays or MRI scans may be recommended to visualize the TMJ’s internal structure.

Tailored TMJ Treatment

Once the diagnosis is established, Dr. Jai Kolliboyana or Dr. Juhi Hirpara 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.

Surgical Intervention

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.
