TMJ Services

Hall Dentistry Articulator A large segment of the population bruxes or grinds their teeth while they are sleeping and most are unaware of this. Bruxing can be made worse by stress, but the basic cause is an improper bite. Results from bruxing can include headaches, loose or broken teeth, broken fillings and gum problems. Whether caused by stress or some other factor, bruxism can be managed or completely eliminated.

At Hall Dentistry, we can have splints fabricated to prevent you from damaging your teeth and temporomandibular joint while you sleep.  Patients often state that they tend to sleep better when wearing their splints.  We also offer other treatments for temporomandibular joint disorders, such as bite balancing. Bite balancing creates harmony between the function and esthetics of teeth removing any interferences that may be causing one to grind or clench their teeth.

These TMJ treatments have been successful for many and Dr. Hall can use over 30 years of knowledge and experience to recommend which treatment is best for you, ask the dentist today!
