Garden State Dental Design offers advanced, minimally invasive solutions to TMJ disorders, helping patients reclaim comfort and confidence in their daily lives. With Dr. Szabela's expertise and a patient-first philosophy, our practice in Clark and Millburn has become a trusted destination for effective TMJ pain relief. From diagnosis to treatment, our team is dedicated to improving your oral health and overall well-being.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a small but powerful hinge connecting your jawbone to your skull. It enables essential movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When the TMJ is strained or damaged—whether by stress, teeth grinding, arthritis, or injury—it can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms. These include jaw pain, limited mobility, and even chronic headaches. Left untreated, TMJ disorders can escalate, affecting your quality of life and risking further damage to your jaw and surrounding muscles.
Our Millburn & Clark TMJ injections offer a modern, effective solution for managing TMJ dysfunction. By targeting the root causes of discomfort, these treatments reduce pain, ease inflammation, and improve jaw mobility. At Garden State Dental Design, we provide two innovative injection therapies designed to suit a variety of needs:
Botox is widely recognized for its ability to relax overactive muscles that contribute to TMJ tension. By reducing muscle activity, Botox alleviates pain and prevents harmful habits like teeth grinding, often within just days of treatment. Many patients appreciate the dual benefits of symptom relief and improved range of motion, with results lasting three to six months.
PRGF leverages your body's natural biology to heal TMJ-related inflammation and discomfort. Using a small sample of your blood, we isolate platelets rich in growth factors to stimulate tissue repair. This regenerative approach not only addresses symptoms but also supports the long-term health of your temporomandibular joint.
TMJ injections can make a life-changing difference for those struggling with jaw pain and dysfunction. These treatments alleviate discomfort, improve mobility, and can play a big role in restoring your quality of life. With our TMJ injections Clark & Millburn patients can experience:
By addressing the root causes of TMJ symptoms, these injections help you regain control of your health and prevent further damage to your jaw and surrounding structures.
