VOTED BEST DENTIST – BEST OF SAN ANTONIO 2023

TMJ Therapy

Amazing, friendly, and cost effective! I don’t have dental insurance and they have a package within their office that acts like dental coverage. It’s very cost effective and gives me a bit more piece of mind. And, even though it may be cost effective, it does not impact their service at all! All of their staff are friendly, polite, and provide top notch care. I have recommended Legacy Dental to all my family and friends!

TMJ Treatment in San Antonio, TX

Relieve Chronic Jaw Pain at Last with TMJ Therapy

Your TMJ (otherwise known as temporomandibular joints) may be small parts of your body, but they have a very important function – connecting your jawbone to the skull and facilitating essential actions like chewing and speaking. Unfortunately, a variety of causes and conditions can negatively affect this sensitive area and lead to chronic symptoms like pain, excessive tenderness, and more. If you suspect that you may be a victim of TMJ disorder, please contact Legacy Dental SA here in Castle Hills Forest. Dr. Eck and the rest of our team want to help you escape the constant discomfort and reclaim the quality of life you deserve!

Diagnosis & Treatment

So how do you know if you’re a victim of TMJ disorder? Here are some common symptoms:
If any of these sound familiar to you, please visit our San Antonio practice for a consultation. Our doctors will carefully inspect your bite and jaw for tell-tale signs of dysfunction. One potential solution to TMJ disorder is an occlusal adjustment, which involves altering certain teeth in order to create a more balanced and harmonious bite. A misaligned bite is one of the major causes of TMJ disorder, as this can cause undue pressure on the joints over time.

Schedule your next appointment with us.

Occlusal Splints

Another popular treatment option is a customized occlusal splint. These mouthpieces are designed to not only prevent bruxism (one of the common causes of TMJ disorder) but also support the facial muscles and encourage the jaw to move back into its ideal position over time through constant use. Depending on the severity of their condition, patients may need to wear their occlusal splint 24 hours a day or only at night. Our goal is to create steady, noticeable improvements for our patients that will endure. You deserve relief!
