If you’re experiencing jaw pain, frequent headaches, clicking sounds, or difficulty chewing, you may be suffering from TMJ disorder. At DentalLand Leslieville, we provide expert diagnosis and non-invasive treatment options for TMJ disorders Leslieville to help you restore comfort, jaw function, and quality of life.
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. TMJ disorders (TMD) refer to problems that affect this joint and the surrounding muscles, often leading to pain, tension, limited movement, or locking of the jaw.
TMJ disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including teeth grinding (bruxism), arthritis, misaligned bites, stress, or injury.
We examine your jaw joint, measure range of motion, check for tenderness or clicking, and evaluate your bite alignment.
Digital X-rays or 3D scans may be taken to assess joint position, muscle condition, and possible structural issues.
We recommend the best non-invasive options, such as night guards, bite adjustment, muscle relaxation techniques, or stress management.
We track your progress and adjust the treatment as needed—ensuring long-term relief and jaw stability.
Popping, clicking, or aching in the jaw joints when speaking or chewing is a common TMJ symptom.
TMJ-related tension often causes migraines, facial pain, and discomfort that radiates to the neck and shoulders.
If you grind your teeth at night or clench your jaw during the day, you're at risk of TMJ strain and dental damage.
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth, jaw locking, or discomfort while chewing can all indicate TMJ dysfunction.
The cost of TMJ disorder treatment in Leslieville depends on the specific therapy needed. On average:
TMJ exam and imaging: $150–$350
Custom night guard: $400–$800
Bite adjustment or splint therapy: $500–$1,200+
We’ll provide a detailed treatment plan and quote during your consultation, including any insurance eligibility.
TMJ disorder treatments may be partially covered under extended dental or medical insurance plans, depending on the cause and treatment type. However, TMJ therapy is not currently covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
