Often, we can provide family dentistry services right here at Gentle Dental. Otherwise, we might refer you to see a TMJ specialist dentist in our office, such as an oral surgeon or an orthodontist.
If you need surgery to correct TMD problems, it is best to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who specializes in surgical procedures affecting the jaws, mouth, and facial area. Issues affecting your occlusion (your bite) are often best addressed by an orthodontist. They can provide specialist treatment to ensure your teeth fit together correctly, reducing unwanted stress on your jaw joints and facial muscles.
