TMJ Diagnosis & Treatment in Beverly Hills, CA

What TMJ Trouble Feels Like

Jaw pain, neck pain, clicking or popping, headaches, and a jaw that feels tired or stuck are all common signs of a TMJ issue. It can make eating and even talking uncomfortable. The good news is that these symptoms usually have a cause that can be identified and addressed.

Finding the Cause First

Rather than just masking the pain, Dr. Nader looks at how your bite and jaw work together, drawing on decades of reading occlusion. Understanding what's actually driving your symptoms is what makes lasting relief possible, instead of a temporary fix that wears off.

A Path to Relief

Once Dr. Nader knows what's driving your symptoms, he matches the treatment to the cause, whether that's a custom appliance, a bite adjustment, or relaxing overworked muscles with TMJ Botox. He explains every option clearly, with no pressure. You and your health deserve relief that addresses the source.

What is TMJ treatment?

TMJ treatment addresses pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles. At Beverly Hills Dental, Dr. Nader first identifies what is driving your symptoms, often related to your bite, then treats the cause with options like custom appliances, adjustments, or muscle-relaxing approaches.

Is TMJ treatment painful?

The treatments themselves are gentle and aimed at relieving pain, not adding to it. Dr. Nader uses several comfortable options and works at your pace. Many patients feel meaningful relief once the underlying cause is addressed.

How long until I feel better?

That depends on the cause and severity. Some patients notice relief fairly quickly with a well-fitted appliance, while others need a bit more time and adjustment. Dr. Nader will set clear expectations after evaluating your jaw and bite.
