You probably don’t think much about your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) – that is, until they start to hurt. These joints connect your upper jaw to your skull and make it possible to open and close your mouth. When they become irritated – for reasons that are still not fully understood – you can experience a significant amount of pain when eating, talking, or yawning. Your jaw may also pop when chewing or even become locked into place at times.
We don’t take any of these symptoms lightly. That’s why we offer TMJ therapy in the form of a custom-fit appliance. All you have to do is put the appliance in when you go to bed and let it do its work. It will move your lower jaw slightly forward, reducing tension on your TMJs so they can begin to heal. As a bonus, the appliance will also eliminate teeth grinding (which many people do in their sleep without knowledge of it) that could potentially require restorative dentistry to repair.
If a TMJ appliance doesn’t help your symptoms, you can work with Dr. Wallace to explore other treatment options. We’ll do all we can to help you feel better.
When you need TMJ treatment in Burlington, call the team at Relax Dental at 336-347-4195. You can also request an appointment online. You can also schedule your next dental cleaning and exam when you contact us.
The Dental office staff were very friendly and kind. The dental technician explained everything and reassured me, despite my anxiety. The Dentist was very kind and professional and explained everything as well. He also has hospital privilege’s which is excellent. I feel very safe knowing that I am in good hands when I go there. I will be recommending others as well.
I am absolutely blown away by how amazing this office, staff, and dentist was. I haven’t been to a dentist in years due to horrible traumatizing previous dentist visits and broke a tooth. This office was able to work me in and took stellar care of my every needs. From the front desk, Holly and Dr. Bacon they all made me feel so relaxed and at ease. I am so blown away and have never had dental work that was painless. I almost started crying because I was so overwhelmed with joy from such an awesome experience. I highly recommend this office, especially if you have anxiety. I have definitely found my new dental home and am forever grateful for this place.
I love Relax Dental as I have been going there for years. I have an issue with not being able to be numbed for dental work but they were able to help me here. The staff are very welcoming and they have state of the art equipment. They provide excellent services. In fact I moved to Florida but came back this week to go to Relax Dental. They are that fantastic!
Great staff and doctors. The care received is excellent, everything is throughly explained, and you have the opportunity to ask questions without feeling intimidated. Every effort is made to make sure that you are comfortable. The practice has excellent hours. For excellent service and care I have no problem driving out of town.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Each visit has been a pleasurable experience. Amazing work with needle injections. If you are not paying attention you probably wouldn’t feel them at all.
I’ve been coming to Dr. Rafael since 1996 and now my entire family does as well. My hygienist Tammy really cares about the health of my teeth. She always takes such great care of me and my family. Dr. Rafael and the entire staff at Relax Dental are very professional, knowledge, and great with my kids!
The new dentist Dr.Wallace is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and I recommend him. He was very gentle with my procedure and very nice. He goes far and beyond to the best work possible and checks on you to make sure you are doing well.
Dr. Vivek & everyone were amazing, thorough, and attentive while treating my grandma for a dental emergency, we were able to get an appointment right away. Their compassion and patience will not be forgotten also thank you for being a huge help working with us and insurance. Thank you so much! 🙂
Affordable, great service. My doctor was the best at my tooth extraction. Also, the receptionists are so gentle and nice. I loved this place honestly
Excellent service provided with all who attended to me for my cleaning/check up. Both the Dentist and the hygienist did and excellent job. Thanks
Yes, our TMJ treatment has been able to help many patients over the years relieve their pain for good. No matter which type of treatment you end up going with, the team here at Relax Dental will make sure it’s the right one for you. Besides you, no one wants your treatment to be successful more than we do.
We understand you want to end the pain caused by a TMJ disorder as soon as you can. The truth is that treatment can take weeks or months depending on the severity of your situation and what needs to be done. For most patients, an oral appliance is the perfect solution in and of itself. For some patients, we may need to explore other TMJ treatment options.
Your insurance may pay for part of your TMJ treatment. We can help determine what your plan will and won’t cover and what your portion of the cost may be. Keep in mind that we offer financing options to help pay for your treatment. We work with CareCredit, which has low-interest payment plans.
