Stop Your Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Moses Lake

You may be all too familiar with the nagging jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing that come with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. At Skyview Dental, we offer Moses Lake TMJ treatment to relieve these debilitating symptoms. When you receive TMJ therapy from our office, you can expect:

  • Accurate diagnosis using advanced imaging technology
  • Non-surgical treatments like night guards and Botox®
  • Long-lasting relief and prevention of further jaw joint damage
  • Improved quality of life free from chronic pain

Get on the road to recovery with our proven TMJ solutions tailored to your needs.

Feel Better With TMJ Therapy

You probably don't pay much attention to your TMJs - unless they become irritated and inflamed. In this case, your jaw joints can cause you a great deal of discomfort. Simple activities such as talking, laughing, and eating can make you wince in pain.

You're taking the first step toward relief from TMJ disorder by seeking treatment at Skyview Dental. Our comprehensive TMJ therapy uses the latest techniques and technology to address your specific symptoms and needs. Two of our most effective therapies include:

  • Custom TMJ Oral Appliances - These comfortable mouthguards gently reposition your jaw into better alignment. By reducing pressure on your TMJs, they can alleviate teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and painful muscle spasms. We customize each appliance for a precise fit.
  • Botox Treatment - Strategically administered Botox injections help relax the overactive muscles that contribute to TMJ pain, limiting their movement. This minimally invasive approach provides relief for several months before retreatment is needed.

Dr. Calvin Despain is certified with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE). You can trust that you will receive the best results from Botox treatment if it's the right solution for your TMJ needs. Your dentist can even incorporate this solution into your checkups.

Spot the Signs of a TMJ Disorder

If you are dealing with a TMJ disorder, you may notice symptoms, such as:

  • Popping sounds when you open your mouth or chew food
  • Jaw pain when you wake up in the morning
  • Muscle aches around your neck and shoulders
  • Sensitive teeth due to grinding or clenching causing cracks or chips

Let our skilled team develop personalized Moses Lake TMJ treatment to give you relief.

I’m a 76 year old disabled veteran and usually go to the Spokane VA Clinic for dental care. Since the distance is so far they allowed me to see Dr. Despain. The VA covers necessary care.

Since the distance is so far they allowed me to see Dr. Despain. The VA covers necessary care. I needed and wanted two implants which are elective procedures. I received my first implant which felt so natural and improved my ability to chew that I decided to get the second one. It’s an out of pocket expense but well worth it.
