TMJ Therapy

Thousands of Americans currently suffer from facial, jaw, head, and neck pain caused by malfunction of the TMJ or temporomandibular joint. The TMJ is the joint that connects the jaw (mandible) to the skull, and often times the TMJ can become damaged, inflamed, or dislocated, causing serious pain. Temporomandibular disorders or TMD can be caused by a variety of factors, many of which can be remedied by a New Jersey TMJ specialist such as Dr. Peter Ciampi.

First, Dr. Ciampi performs a thorough evaluation to diagnose the type of dysfunction that is occurring with the TMJ. Depending on his findings, Dr. Ciampi will then recommend the most appropriate treatment to restore health, balance, and proper function to the TMJ. As each patient’s case is unique, we offer a variety of surgical and nonsurgical TMJ treatment options. Therapy may involve a special splint to realign the bite called a neuromuscular orthosis, a semi-permanent splint, comprehensive orthodontics (including braces), or tooth restoration.

TMD is a serious disorder that should only be treated by an expert. In New Jersey TMJ specialist Dr. Ciampi can provide you with the comprehensive treatment you need to alleviate your TMJ pain. Contact Spring Lake Dental Care today to schedule your consultation.
