TMJ Therapy

Protecting Your Smile, Preserving
Your Joint, Restoring Comfort

A healthy smile is not only about beautiful teeth. It is about balance. When the jaw joint is unstable, every part of your oral health can suffer — from worn teeth and fractured restorations to headaches and facial tension.

At Tomenko Family Dentistry, we provide refined, precision-based TMJ therapy designed for patients who value long-term solutions — not temporary fixes.

Do You Notice:

• Clicking or popping when opening
  your mouth?

• Jaw pain when chewing?

• Morning headaches?

• Teeth that feel sore or sensitive?

• A bite that feels “off”?

• Crowns or fillings that repeatedly chip?

Left untreated, TMD can lead to:

• Progressive tooth wear

• Gum recession from excessive forces

• Fractured restorations

• Joint degeneration

• Chronic muscle tension
  
  

We believe prevention is sophisticated care.

Custom Orthotics (TMD Appliance Therapy)

Unlike standard nightguards, our orthotics are therapeutic devices designed to:

• Establish a stable jaw position

• Reduce destructive bite forces

• Protect your restorations

• Decompress the joint

• Allow muscles to relax

These precision-designed orthotics help prevent ongoing joint breakdown and preserve both your teeth and your long-term oral investment. For patients who have invested in veneers, crowns, implants, Or cosmetic dentistry, orthotic therapy protects that investment.

PRF Joint Regeneration Therapy

For patients with inflammation or early joint degeneration, we offer PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy. PRF is derived from your own blood and contains concentrated growth factors.

When placed into the joint:

• It promotes natural tissue repair

• Supports collagen production

• Reduces inflammation

• May slow or prevent joint deterioration

This biologic therapy aligns with our philosophy of conservative, regenerative dentistry. We support the body’s ability to heal — rather than suppressing symptoms.

Our Philosophy: Comprehensive & Conservative

We do not rush into irreversible treatment.

We begin with:

• Detailed joint evaluation

• Bite analysis

• Digital imaging

• Muscle and occlusal assessment

Our approach is calm, measured, and individualized.

Because every joint is unique.
