End Chronic Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Oxnard, CA

One of the smallest yet most overworked joints in your body is the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. It controls the movement of your jaw, allowing you to open and close your mouth, chew your food, yawn, laugh, sing, and more. That's why you may experience a host of unpleasant symptoms when the joint is out of alignment. But our non-invasive TMJ treatment in Oxnard, CA can:

End your chronic jaw pain and facial soreness
Ease the muscle tension in your neck, shoulders, and back
Prevent teeth grinding that causes damaging dental wear-and-tear
Stop the headaches often experienced by those with TMJ dysfunction

Stop Grinding Your Teeth & Start Feeling Better With a Mouthguard

TMJ problems affect millions of Americans. Too often, people suffer for far too long without realizing their painful symptoms are related to their jaw joint. The good news is, your dentist can tell simply by looking inside your mouth.

A TMJ disorder (TMD) is often linked to teeth grinding, a habit most people don't know they have. Our team can spot the signs when we notice during your dental cleaning and exam that some of your teeth are worn or damaged. You might be grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw involuntarily while you sleep or as a result of stress.

No matter the cause, this habit puts a lot of pressure on your jaw joint. It leads to uncomfortable symptoms like frequent headaches, earache pain, lockjaw, clicking or popping noises while chewing, and soreness in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. It's common to have chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth as well.

We can provide an effective, comfortable solution to end teeth grinding and relieve your pain. A customized mouthguard will:

Prevent you from grinding your teeth while you sleep
Keep your jaw in the right position so it can heal naturally
Help you enjoy more restful sleep
Feel more comfortable than a store-bought mouthguard because of its superior custom fit

You may also benefit from clear aligner therapy to correct your bite alignment. Whether it's a mouthguard or orthodontic treatment, you will start to feel better and have peace of mind that your teeth are protected.

End chronic pain and start enjoying your life again with TMJ treatment in Oxnard, CA. Call Anacapa Dental Art Institute today for an appointment. You can also schedule online if you prefer.

Dr. Jivraj and his staff are the absolute BEST in the industry and we are so lucky they're in practice here, locally, in Ventura County. They worked with me on every aspect of my dental journey. I couldn't have asked for anything more. They're upfront, forthright, and honest. I can't recommend anyone to a better dental group than Anacapa Dental Art Institute. You'll be amazed at how they can change your image of self. Smile again without any worry of what others will think, and give you back your self-confidence.

I have both upper and lower complete implants and couldn't be happier. Dr. J and his assistant Laura are amazing. My appointments always started on time, there was minimal pain, and they always called at home to check in on me. The office is equipped with incredible state-of-the-art...

Dr. Jivraj is a perfectionist, top-notch, and he expects nothing less from his team. Point blank, he's the best. He laid out a plan. He said, "In 6-8 months I'll have you crunching on an apple." I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely comfortable. His wonderful financing department came up with a plan that was affordable for me, and got me interest-free financing for up to 2 years. Not once throughout this process was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and they treated me like family.

Steven W.

This place is professional, comprehensive, and nice. Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning,...

Anthony V.

I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness from the employees at the front desk. They were joyful and made you feel immediately at ease. They then took me on a tour of the facility. The rooms were super clean and all equipment is state of the art. I was introduced to pretty much everyone on staff and they were all happy and friendly. After having X-rays, I then met with the dentist. He was very knowledgeable and I agreed with everything he discussed in regards to the problems with my teeth.

Denise D.

Traveling from overseas and broke my dentures the day before departure. Once in LA, I started looking for a dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. J. I was my lucky day:) after crossing the threshold of Anacapa I felt at home. I couldn't believe it but the Dr. took my dentures and fixed them, so just saw my desperation saw me , not only my money. the tears poured into my eyes by themselves. After this we talked about options, yes, it's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Today I have lower fixed dentures and love them.

Dorota S.

Is TMJ causing my headaches?

It's possible, yes. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to pain in the surrounding muscles of the head and neck, which can be misinterpreted as migraines. By wearing a mouthguard, you can alleviate the pain caused by TMJ inflammation and potentially experience relief from headaches.

What are the signs of a TMJ disorder?

Signs of a TMJ disorder may include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth completely, facial pain, headaches, and ear pain or ringing. Some people may also experience neck and shoulder pain or toothaches unrelated to dental problems. Also, your jaw may feel locked or stuck. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to visit our practice for help.

Yes, our TMJ treatment has been able to help many patients over the years relieve their pain for good. No matter which type of treatment you end up going with, the team here at Anacapa Dental Art Institute will make sure it's the right one for you.
