Bruxism, or the habit of teeth grinding and clenching, is a common contributor to TMJ problems. Engaging in this action overworks the jaw joint and supporting muscles, but also wears down tooth enamel, causing unevenness of chewing surfaces. Our doctors eliminate discrepancies in your bite with an easy occlusal adjustment procedure.
Dr. Javid, Dr. Nadi and Dr. Tran all have training in TMD treatment, and remain current on the latest therapies through organizations like the American Academy of General Dentistry and American Dental Association.
