Expert Bruxism & TMJ Treatment in Portland
Find relief from jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding
Living with constant tension?
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can show up in many ways — jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding (bruxism) — all of which can disrupt your workday, sleep, and even your mood. Left untreated, TMJ disorders can wear down teeth, trigger chronic pain, and make everyday actions like chewing or speaking uncomfortable.
Get advanced Botox TMJ treatment in Portland
At South Waterfront Dental, we believe you shouldn’t have to power through pain. That’s why we offer Botox TMJ treatments in Portland. Botox’s muscle relaxant properties make it ideal for addressing TMJ due to overworked muscles.
The treatment is simple, fast, and effective:
- Targeting muscles: Dr. Beck identifies the specific jaw and facial muscles that are causing your clenching and pain.
- Quick injections: The Botox is injected directly into those targeted muscles in a procedure that lasts no more than 30 minutes. You'll likely feel a brief pinprick sensation.
- Immediate return: You can resume your normal schedule right away, but avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for the first couple of days.
- Relief begins: Muscle relaxation and relief from jaw tension start within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect typically reached within two weeks.
- Maintenance: For continuous comfort, treatment is typically readministered every three to six months.
