What is TMJ therapy?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is commonly known as the jaw joint. TMJ therapy is a highly effective treatment used to improve the function of the TMJs, targeting pain and tension in the surrounding muscles used when you chew. At Covent Garden Dental Spa, we use a holistic and patient centred approach, addressing the underlying cause of your jaw joint disorder in order to provide the best treatment for your needs.

TMJ disorder is commonly caused by stress, teeth grinding, trauma to the jaw joint, medical conditions such as arthritis or an unstable bite where your teeth are not properly aligned. Our TMJ dentist takes your symptoms into account to deliver highly effective treatment and significantly transform your quality of life.

Dr Roop uses her long-established experience and holistic philosophy to treat the multifactorial nature of TMD and improve wellbeing.

Your TMJ treatment steps

Step 1

At your first appointment, we warmly welcome you and make sure you are feeling relaxed and ready to begin your TMJ treatment journey. Dr Roop will discuss your particular set of symptoms before examining your jaws and surrounding muscles. She will also carry out a bite assessment.

Step 2

Following your consultation, Dr Roop will provide you with a personalised TMD treatment protocol customised to your set of symptoms. She will discuss this with you so you have a clear understanding before your treatment begins. You will also be provided with a cost estimate. In some cases, a referral to a specialist colleague may be recommended.

Step 3

Your bespoke TMJ treatment may include an occlusal appliance (custom-made bite splint to be worn during sleep), acupuncture, trigger point therapy, restorative treatment, and jaw exercises, as best suits you. In addition to this, TMJ therapy encompasses nutrition, supplements, relaxation therapies and lifestyle changes.

What our patients have to say about us

Frequently asked questions

What is TMJ disorder, and what are the symptoms?

TMJ disorder affects your jaw joint and the surrounding muscles. The symptoms include jaw pain and tenderness, clicking sounds when you open or close your mouth, tension headaches, facial pain, neck and shoulder pain, and difficulty chewing. Some people may not be able to open their mouth very far or experience tooth wear from excessive grinding or clenching at night.

What TMJ treatment options do you offer in London?

At Covent Garden Dental Spa in London, we offer a range of TMJ treatment options. These include bite splints to be worn overnight, acupuncture, trigger point therapy, restorative treatment to stabilise your bite, and stress management. We favour a holistic approach, looking at nutrition, relaxation therapies and lifestyle changes that can make a big difference.

When is jaw joint replacement necessary?

A jaw joint replacement is a significant procedure that needs specialist attention. It is often considered a final treatment for TMJ disorders after more conservative treatment options have been tried. We find that many patients respond well to other treatments, so don’t need a jaw joint replacement.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific areas of your face and body. The needles stimulate your nervous system, releasing natural painkillers that can relieve some of the pain felt in jaw joint disorders. Acupuncture takes just 30-45 minutes to complete, and is generally pain-free.

How many acupuncture treatments will be needed to treat my TMD?

Each case is different, so you will be advised how many treatments will work best for you at your consultation. Usually, six treatments spaced at weekly intervals are required for the best results. After this, further sessions may be recommended, depending on how well you respond to the treatment.

What is trigger point therapy?

Trigger point therapy is a neuromuscular therapy designed to correct muscular imbalances and relieve pain. The trigger points are tight knotted bands of muscle that can cause pain. Using a combination of acupuncture therapy and massage, we can disperse the tightness and relieve that pain.

What is a T-Scan?

T-Scan is a state-of-the-art digital bite analysis system designed to measure and record relative biting forces over time. It uses an ultra-thin sensor that transfers the data to an animated digital image, mapping the force and timing of pressure of your bite in real time.
