Providing Painless Solutions For Your TMJ And Teeth Grinding Issues

After a thorough examination of your mouth at Gentle Family Dentists, Dr. Carol, Dr. Carolyn Duong, or Dr. Roberto will recommend painless TMJ and teeth grinding treatment to prevent further discomfort or damage to your teeth. These may include:

An acrylic splint, which will cover a portion of your upper or lower teeth to separate them and relieve TMJ issues
A customized nightguard that will relieve stress on your jaw joints and prevent you from grinding your teeth
Orthodontics if you have an uneven bite that is causing TMJ pain

Why You May Need Treatment For TMJ Or Teeth Grinding

The reason you may need custom oral appliances or orthodontics is because of your temporomandibular joints, known as TMJ. Stress on these joints can lead to TMD, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

A former injury or arthritis could be the cause of your TMD and can lead to grinding your teeth at night without you even knowing it (a condition known as bruxism). Teeth grinding can greatly damage your teeth’s enamel, and it should be dealt with swiftly.

Call Gentle Family Dentists at 563-288-2612 for a consultation at our West Liberty, IA, North Liberty, IA, or Muscatine, IA dentist office, or contact us through our online form to book your appointment or ask any questions. By using the most comfortable and noninvasive techniques, you can enjoy a healthier, pain-free smile soon.

What our patients are saying

All of the dentists at gentle family dentists are amazing! We love Dr. Carole! Her approach is so effective! It has saved both our children from oral surgery in their late teens years. The entire staff is thoughtful, kind, extremely caring and gentle! It is a pleasure to be treated there!

Great experience and the team truly showed concern for me during my extraction experience. They were able to get me in quick and then also accommodated my crazy work schedule and got several timely services done before work so I would not be in pain any more. I would recommend this team to anyone. And if you are not using these wonderful people then you are missing out.

I don’t go but my twin boys do! They love it so much they make the boys feel comfortable and happy when being seen by anyone always a clean and loving environment for them to get their dental work done! They’re 5 so it’s a big part of the reason why we chose to go with gentle family dentist they are so nice to us!

Dr. Caroline did an amazing job with my crowns on my front teeth, fitting my night guard many times until it was right, and guiding me through the zoom at home whitening kit. I have a whole different smile and I feel so confident. Every person there is so friendly and helpful! Thanks so much!

Chipped a molar last night eating popcorn. This morning they were able to get me in for a quick x-ray, then get an appointment scheduled for the afternoon to do the crown. I wasn’t in any pain but I feel so fortunate to have had it fixed so quickly! They have fancy technology & knew exactly what they were doing. Perfectly matched the tooth color. Extremely pleased with my experience!

I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate this office. I have hated the dentist for most of my life and stopped going. Now I have teeth issues that embarrasses me. Dr. Grant and the staff have been amazing and made me feel so supported and not judged at all. I’m so happy I found this clinic. I can’t wait to get my smile back!
