Why Choose TMJ Therapy at 65 Broadway Dental?

Here’s why our TMJ services are trusted for oral health:

• Comprehensive Diagnosis

  We begin with a detailed evaluation using 3D imaging and bite analysis to understand your jaw alignment, muscle tension, and joint movement. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan specific to your needs.

• Non-Invasive Treatment Options

  Our TMJ therapy focuses on conservative, non-surgical treatments, such as custom night guards, bite adjustments, laser therapy, and stress-relief techniques. These help reduce pressure on the jaw joint and promote natural healing.

• Laser-Assisted Pain Relief

  Using Fotona laser technology, we can stimulate muscle relaxation and improve blood circulation around the joint, reducing inflammation and discomfort without medication or injections.

• Comfort-Focused Care

  Your comfort is our priority. Our minimally invasive approach ensures that treatments are gentle, safe, and effective, helping you return to normal eating, speaking, and sleeping patterns quickly.

• Convenient NYC Location

  Located in Manhattan’s Financial District, 65 Broadway Dental offers flexible scheduling and a relaxing environment to make your TMJ treatment stress-free and accessible.

What Causes TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorders can result from various factors affecting the jaw joint, muscles, or surrounding tissues. Common causes include:

• Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
• Misaligned bite or jaw injury
• Arthritis in the temporomandibular joint
• Chronic stress or tension
• Poor posture or uneven chewing habits

If left untreated, TMJ issues can lead to chronic headaches, neck pain, ear pressure, or difficulty opening and closing your mouth. Early diagnosis ensures faster relief and long-term stability.

Is TMJ Therapy Right for You?

You may benefit from TMJ therapy if you experience:

• Jaw pain, stiffness, or tenderness
• Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening your mouth
• Headaches or neck pain
• Difficulty chewing or limited mouth movement
• Pain near the ears or face

At 65 Broadway Dental, we’ll perform a thorough assessment to identify the source of your symptoms and recommend the most effective treatment plan for you.
