Jaw pain and headaches don’t have to be a part of your daily routine. TMJ or TMD issues and teeth grinding could be causing these problems and may be easily corrected with Punta Gorda TMJ treatment. Instead of constantly taking pain meds, let us determine if a customized mouthguard is right for you. This treatment can help you:
Call Smiles of Punta Gorda today at 941-575-2626 so we can make your pain go away for good!
A customized mouthguard can be worn to correct TMJ issues. Your dentist will listen to your concerns and examine your mouth. If they believe a mouthguard can help, they’ll create a painless digital impression of your mouth so a custom mouthguard can be made specifically for your smile. It will be designed to comfortably fit right over your teeth to prevent grinding and help your jaw muscles relax.
We urge you to avoid mouthguards found at drugstores or supermarkets. These may promise to be easily customizable, but they are often ineffective and a waste of time and money. That’s why you should come see us for your TMJ mouthguard. We know what’s best for your smile, and if you’re in pain, we want to help you solve the problem ASAP.
You have two jaw joints called temporomandibular joints, also known as TMJ. Sometimes, you may experience discomfort while chewing and hear clicking or popping sounds. This could be the result of a TMJ disorder, or TMD. Another cause of your jaw pain or related headaches and migraines could be due to an irregular bite, such as an underbite or overbite.
If you grind your teeth during the day, it’s causing damage to your tooth enamel and may be making your teeth sensitive to hot and cold food and drinks. You may also be grinding your teeth at night without knowing it, leading to major stress on your jaw and damage to your teeth that could require restorative dentistry to correct.
You can avoid these problems for good with our custom mouthguards. Call us today for TMJ treatment in Punta Gorda: 941-575-2626. You can also request an appointment online.

I wish I had come here years ago.
Thanks to Dr. Martin, my smile now matches my enthusiasm for life. I could not be happier.
Just moved down from Central Florida and needed to find a dentist in my area of Punta Gorda! Went to see Dr. Martin for exam and Damian for cleaning! Both very professional and honest with me! Will be back in September I would recommend Smiles of Punta Gorda to any one who needs dental work done! Also front desk was very friendly and got me back on time!!
Mary was excellent as usual! It’s too bad she has to deal with a couple of ninjas running around the office though. I put in my request for a free nose hair removal procedure on my next visit. I hope they find the right tool for that procedure!
From Kathy to my visit with Dr. Martin, I give 5????’s. My emergent situation was corrected in ONE (1) day! I’m looking forward to working with Dr. Martin and his Team to resurrect my Dental wellness. Young, intelligent and attentive to my needs. Thank You!
The staff are very polite and professional. I had a root canal with ZERO pain. I highly recommend Smiles of Punta Gorda!!
the staff was very professional, courteous and friendly. Mary, my hygienist, was and has always been exceptional. great place to have dental work done
Great office, caring people. Hygienist was thorough but gentile. I have been coming to Dr. Martin for 17years. Never a problem
I had an abscessed tooth and they were able to get me in the same day I called. They were personable, professional and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them as your dentist.
TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors. Then your jaw can heal.
There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.
Your insurance may pay for part of your TMJ treatment. We can help determine what your plan will and won’t cover and what your portion of the cost may be. Keep in mind that we offer financing options to help pay for your treatment. We work with CareCredit, which has no-interest and low-interest payment plans.
