From Night Guards to Jaw Repositioning — Our TMJ Treatment Approach in Calvert City
Our team provides comprehensive, effective jaw joint treatment to help you find lasting relief from TMJ pain, headaches, and other debilitating symptoms. One of the most common and successful approaches to managing TMJ disorders is the use of a custom-made professional night guard. Our skilled dentists can create a personalized night guard that fits comfortably over your teeth and gently repositions your jaw while you sleep. This precise adjustment helps to:
- Relieve tension on your TMJs
- Allow your jaw joints to heal and function properly
- Reduce pain, clicking, and popping sensations
- Decrease strain on your jaw muscles and joints
In addition to promoting TMJ healing, a professional night guard also serves as a protective barrier against teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching during sleep. These unconscious habits can cause excessive wear and tear on your tooth enamel, leading to sensitivity, fractures, and other dental problems
By wearing your custom night guard consistently, you’ll help preserve your tooth structure and maintain optimal oral health while reducing the likelihood of needing restorative dental care to repair your teeth.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment / Teeth Grinding
Does TMJ treatment work?
TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal.
How long does TMJ treatment take?
There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.
Will insurance pay for my TMJ treatment?
TMJ treatment may be covered by your regular health insurance. We recommend you check with your insurance carrier for specifics on your coverage. If you don’t have coverage for your treatment, we offer several convenient payment options, including third-party financing through CareCredit.
