Find Relief: Botox for TMJ and Teeth Grinding

Tired of waking up with a tight jaw and headaches? There’s a solution you might not expect: Botox. This innovative treatment targets the root cause of jaw pain and teeth grinding, helping to ease tension and protect your smile.

What Causes TMJ and Bruxism?

If you wake up with headaches, notice jaw pain in the morning, feel tension in your face, or hear clicking when you open your mouth, you may be experiencing:

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder: A condition affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often causing pain, clicking, and limited movement.
Bruxism: Unconscious teeth grinding or clenching, typically during sleep, leading to worn teeth and jaw discomfort.

How Botox Can Help

Relax Jaw Muscles with Botox

Botox treatment works by gently relaxing the masseter muscle—the muscle that controls jaw movement. By precisely targeting this area, we can:

Reduce muscle tension and jaw clenching
Minimize teeth grinding, especially during sleep
Provide relief from TMJ-related headaches
Help protect your teeth from further wear

Botox & Mouthguards for Relief

We combine Botox injections with traditional mouthguard treatment for optimal relief from jaw pain and teeth grinding.

The Botox procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and precisely targets the masseter. Each treatment is customized to your specific needs and performed in a safe, sterile environment by our experienced team.

Is Botox Right for You?

Botox treatment for TMJ and bruxism could be an excellent option if you:

Experience regular jaw pain or headaches

Have worn or damaged teeth from grinding

Use a mouthguard but still have symptoms

Seek a non-surgical solution for jaw tension

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don't replace a missing tooth?

Without a tooth replacement, neighboring teeth can shift, and you may experience bone loss in your jaw. This can lead to changes in facial structure and additional problems over time.

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. We use local anesthesia during the procedure, and sedation options are available for anxious patients. While some mild discomfort is normal during the healing process, it’s typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.

Are dental implants covered by insurance?

Many dental insurance plans now offer partial coverage for implants. Our team will help you understand your coverage and discuss financing options to make implants affordable. We also offer payment plans to help manage the investment in your smile.

Can implants replace multiple teeth?

Yes, implants can replace single teeth, multiple teeth, or even all teeth. Different solutions like implant-supported bridges or full-arch replacements are available based on your needs.

What can I eat after getting implants?

We recommend a gradual return to your normal diet. Begin with soft foods like smoothies and well-cooked pasta in your first week. As you heal, slowly introduce firmer foods. Once your implant fully bonds with the bone (3 to 6 months), you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite foods again; dental implants restore nearly 100% of your natural biting force.
