TMJ Therapy in Peoria, AZ

The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is the spot where your jaw connects to your skull to enable you to open and close your jaw easily. Sometimes the TMJ is damaged or injured, resulting in a debilitating condition called temporomandibular joint dysfunction or disorder (TMD). If you are having pain or hearing noises when you move your jaw, then schedule a consultation with Reflections Dental to determine if you have TMD. At his practice in Peoria, AZ, Dr. Hildebrandt uses advanced equipment to assess and care for your TMD to relieve pain. Your treatment will be based on the cause of your TMD and your particular condition, but a few options are oral appliances (mouth or night guards), bite modification, dental restorations, and much more.

To help diagnose temporomandibular disorder (TMD), Dr. Hildebrandt will carefully listen and understand your concerns before performing a physical exam. During the examination, he will evaluate the movement of your jaw and start looking for signs of misalignment, jaw clenching, and teeth grinding. He will also palpate the jaw and surrounding area for any swelling and tenderness. Dr. Hildebrandt might want to have digital images of your lower face or an analysis of your bite to look for underlying factors that could determine your treatment approach. Based on the exam, he will go over your treatment choices, which may include a dental appliance, orthodontics, or dental restorations (crowns, bridges, or dentures).
