TMJ and Bruxism Treatment in Gardena, CA
What is TMJ and Bruxism Treatment

What Is TMJ and Bruxism Treatment?

Temporomandibular joint disorders, commonly called TMJ disorders, affect the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull. Bruxism refers to teeth grinding or clenching, which often happens during sleep without you ever realizing it. The two conditions frequently occur together, since grinding puts constant strain on the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. Left untreated, they can cause significant discomfort and lasting dental damage. Our dentist evaluates both your jaw function and your bite to determine what is driving your symptoms.

The Benefits of TMJ and Bruxism Treatment

Pain Relief

Treatment reduces or eliminates the jaw pain, recurring morning headaches, and ear discomfort that so often accompany an untreated TMJ disorder or nightly teeth grinding.

Tooth Protection

An appliance prevents the wear and tear caused by grinding, which reduces your risk of cracked enamel, damaged dental work, and the eventual loss of a natural tooth.

Better Sleep

Relieving jaw tension and nighttime clenching helps you sleep far more soundly and wake up feeling genuinely refreshed rather than sore, stiff, and completely exhausted.

Improved Well-Being

Easing chronic jaw pain improves your overall quality of life and lowers your risk of the future complications that become considerably harder to treat down the road.

Our Step-by-Step Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

    Clinical Evaluation

    Our dentist carefully assesses your jaw function, your bite alignment, and any of the visible signs of grinding across the surfaces of your teeth.

  3. 03

    Advanced Imaging

    We may use advanced imaging to get a much clearer picture of your jaw joint, your bite, and all of the surrounding structures in that whole area.

  4. 04

    Personalized Plan

    We build a personalized treatment plan that could include a custom oral appliance, targeted exercises, or other supportive therapies for you.

  5. 05

    Ongoing Support

    Regular checkups allow us to adjust your appliance and to confirm that your comfort continues to improve steadily over the long term ahead of you.

Signs You May Need TMJ and Bruxism Treatment

Jaw Pain

Your jaw feels sore or tender, especially in the morning or after a long day of talking, chewing, and concentrating hard while at your work desk.

Joint Sounds

You hear clicking or popping in your jaw joint when you open your mouth, chew your food, or yawn widely at the end of a particularly long day.

Morning Headaches

Headaches greet you the moment that you wake up, which often traces back to a full night of clenching and grinding your teeth while you sleep.

Worn Enamel

Your teeth look worn down, flattened, or chipped, and they have grown increasingly sensitive to both hot and cold foods over the past years.

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “leslie did very well, she was very helpful and reassuring.” — Jaylen
  • 5 out of 5 stars. “My first visit to Gardena Dental Group was most pleasant. I was fearful because I am not a fan of needles, drills or that burning smell that lingers after root canals and crowns. In spite of this, I was assured by a wise woman who had been a patient for several years - along with her husband -, that this would be, "The BEST Decision I Would Make Today." Thankfully, she was right 💐 Upon arrival, I was assisted by Jessica who aided me through the paperwork as well as my treatment plan and next appointment. Soon after completing the paperwork, I was called in for my x-rays and consultation. I was elated to hear that I only needed a permanent crown (to replace the temporary one I had from a previous dental procedure) and a filling on the opposite side. Tatiana and Dr. Tounian were Knowledgeable and Compassionate throughout my consultation; this made it easy to ask questions about the treatment plan and how to continue keeping my smile healthy and bright 😁 My second visit was even better than the first. I was taken through the procedures I was to have, asked if I had any questions or concerns, then the assistant made preparations for the Doctor to work his magic 🪄 I was elated by the timely manner, professionalism and care taken by the entire Dental Team (knowing how nervous I was about the needle - for numbing the area - and the drill for the crown & filling). I fell asleep a few times during the process, that's how comfortable I was 😊 I look forward to returning to get fitted for my permanent crown and later my mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding. I Love My New Dentist and His Extraordinary Team ✨” — ALIKANDRIA
  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I've been a patient at this office for a while now. Its always a pleasant visit. The staff is really helpful and informative. I was greeted by the receptionist Nayeli with a welcoming smile. The Dr was very professional and explained the process. I was really nervous/anxious, but Paulina and the Dr were both very helpful. They made me feel calm and relaxed by the time they started working on me. They were gentle and gave me advice on how to relax my jaw for less pain. The hygenist LaRhonda is friendly and thorough everytime. Jacky and Angelica helped me check out they explained my insurance benefits and went over the costs thoroughly. It is definitely a place worth driving long distance for. I trust them, they are honest and anwer all my questions. Thank you Gardena Dental Group Staff!!!” — Nelly
