TMJ treatment does more than reduce pain. It improves comfort, function and overall quality of life.
Reduce aching, soreness and pressure in the jaw joints, face and surrounding muscles.
Restore smooth, comfortable movement so you can eat, speak and yawn without discomfort.
TMD can cause chronic headaches and neck strain. Treating it helps ease tension throughout the face, head and shoulders.
TMJ disorders often cause clenching or grinding. Treatment helps prevent chips, fractures, enamel wear and gum recession.
A balanced jaw makes chewing more comfortable and protects long-term oral health.
Reducing nighttime grinding and tension often leads to deeper, more restful sleep.
You may benefit from TMJ treatment if you experience:
Jaw clicking, popping or grinding noises
Pain while chewing, speaking or yawning
Locked or stuck jaw
Frequent headaches or facial pain
Clenching or grinding (daytime or nighttime)
At Enhance Dentist, Dr. Kim evaluates your jaw joints, muscle patterns and bite to determine the underlying cause and create a treatment plan that actually works.
At Enhance Dentist in La Crescenta, we provide a calm, comfortable and personalized TMJ treatment experience designed to give you noticeable relief as quickly as possible.
We begin with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, habits and discomfort. Dr. Kim examines your jaw movement, bite alignment and muscles to identify the root cause.
Digital X-rays or imaging help us assess the joint structure and rule out underlying issues.
Dr. Kim recommends the safest and most effective options for your specific condition. Plans may include night guards, bite adjustments, habit training, stress-reduction strategies or restorative treatments.
If grinding or clenching is a factor, we’ll design a custom-fitted night guard to reduce muscle tension and protect your teeth.
We teach simple jaw exercises, muscle relaxation techniques and lifestyle tweaks that help reduce strain throughout the day.
Follow-up visits ensure your symptoms continue improving and your treatment plan stays on track.
Choosing the right provider matters when your comfort, sleep and daily function are at stake.
We don’t rely on quick fixes. Dr. Kim evaluates your bite, jaw joints, facial muscles, posture, wear patterns and dental history to uncover the true cause of your TMJ symptoms. This ensures your treatment is effective, predictable and built for long-term relief.
From digital X-rays to advanced bite analysis, our technology helps us diagnose TMJ issues with precision. You get an accurate plan without unnecessary procedures, and every step is done with a gentle touch to keep you comfortable.
Because every jaw is different, every treatment plan is uniquely designed. Whether you need a custom night guard, bite balancing, stress-management strategies or specific muscle therapies, we prioritize conservative, noninvasive care that fits your lifestyle.
TMJ pain can be exhausting and emotionally draining. Our calm, supportive environment helps you feel at ease the moment you walk in. We take the time to listen, answer questions and make sure you feel understood, never rushed.
Patients throughout La Crescenta and Glendale choose Dr. Kim for his compassionate approach, sharp diagnostic skills and consistent TMJ outcomes. Our reputation is built on honesty, clear communication and real relief — not temporary fixes.
We accept Medi-Cal and most PPO insurance plans. Our team will gladly help you verify your coverage before your procedure so you know exactly what to expect. If you don’t have insurance or need additional help, we offer flexible payment plans to make your care affordable.
"Couldn’t recommend this place enough"
I’ve been coming here the past 6 years give or take and always have such a pleasant experience! It’s great to know that current practices and techniques are constantly being refined, instead of just adhering to the norm and being stuck in the past. They recently fit me for a night guard and used new technology to get a “mold” for me without having to physically put my teeth against a material. Smooth, seamless, and right out the door! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
"The best dental experience I’ve had to date!"
The best dental experience I’ve had to date! Dr. Kim was fast, efficient, kind, and did excellent work. His dental hygienist had the most calming presence and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After not being in a dental chair for years I was anxious going in, but my experience went so well, any fears I had completely disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and his amazing staff. I plan on staying with Enhance Dentist.
