Relieve Jaw Pain, Muscle Tension, and Teeth Grinding with Comprehensive Care at Martin Dentistry
If you're living with chronic jaw pain, tension headaches, or teeth grinding at night, you may be experiencing symptoms of TMJ disorder (TMD). At Martin Dentistry, we offer a complete approach to TMJ relief, including Botox therapy, custom guards. With convenient locations in Broad Ripple (Indianapolis) and Fishers, our team is here to help you feel better quickly, safely, and comfortably.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) affects the joints that connect your jaw to your skull. When those joints become tight, inflamed, or misaligned, you may experience:
- Jaw or facial pain
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth
- Limited jaw movement
- Chronic headaches or migraines
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Earaches or pressure near the jaw
Without proper care, TMJ issues can lead to worn or damaged teeth and ongoing discomfort.
TMJ Treatment Options
At Martin Dentistry, we take a multi-faceted approach to TMJ relief. After a thorough evaluation of your bite and muscle activity, we may recommend one or more of the following:
Botox Therapy for TMJ: Botox (botulinum toxin) relaxes overactive jaw muscles, helping to reduce clenching, grinding, and tension-related pain. It’s minimally invasive, virtually painless, and results typically last 3–6 months. Many patients feel relief in just a few days.
Custom Bruxism Guards: Grinding your teeth at night can worsen TMJ symptoms and damage your enamel. Our custom-fit night guards provide a protective barrier and help reduce muscle stress during sleep.
What is Neurotoxin?
Botox or Xeomin (Botulinum Toxin) is a purified protein used in medical, dental, and cosmetic applications. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in targeted muscles, allowing them to relax. This treatment is FDA-approved and widely used for wrinkle reduction, TMJ relief, and facial pain. Results typically last 3–6 months.
What to Expect During Botox Treatment
Your Botox appointment is quick and simple—usually just 15–30 minutes. During your visit, our experienced team will:
- Discuss your symptoms and goals
- Evaluate your jaw muscles and bite
- Administer targeted injections for safe, effective relief
