At Ridgecrest Dental, we offer advanced, non-surgical solutions for TMJ/TMD, including the Urbanek TMJ Device and Protocol. This patented, FDA-approved oral appliance fits comfortably on the roof of the mouth and is uniquely designed to allow only the front teeth to touch, creating space between the back teeth. By removing up to 90% of the load from the temporomandibular joint, it reduces inflammation and relieves common TMD symptoms such as jaw pain, stiffness and chronic headaches.
Our dentists and team also use therapeutic BOTOX® to ease discomfort associated with TMJ disorders, bruxism (clenching and grinding) and chronic migraines. BOTOX works by temporarily blocking pain signals from the nerves to the muscles, providing targeted relief without surgery or downtime. Treatment is customized for each patient based on muscle mass and symptom severity.
If you are ready to relieve jaw pain, call us at 573-635-2571 to schedule a TMJ consultation with Dr. Jason A. Dunville.
