TMJ dysfunction refers to a group of disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jawbone to the skull. This crucial joint allows you to chew, speak, and yawn comfortably. When misaligned, injured, or stressed, the TMJ can cause discomfort and affect your quality of life.
At Greenvale Dental House, by The Dental House Group, we take the time to educate our patients about the complexities of TMJ disorders. Our team helps you understand the anatomy of the joint, empowering you to make informed decisions about your treatment for lasting relief from discomfort.
This has to be the best dental practice I have ever been to (and I’ve been to a few over the years)! Have attended both Sunbury and most recently the Bacchus Marsh Dental House. All the Staff are wonderful. I see Dr. Fong and he is amazing. He makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. He is very personable and always make me laugh. Thanks also to the lovely Hannah who assisted when I had my recent procedure done.
Not just any old dental clinic, made to feel right at Home as soon as I walked in the door. Friendly and caring team and love the color purple throughout!
Had my first visit to Sunbury Dental House last week – they promise a gentle approach and having a crown prep done by Dr Fong after cracking a tooth, I’ve felt comfortable during my dental appointment. Being able to watch a movie during treatment certainly helped! Looking forward to my return visit in a few weeks!
After hearing numerous excellent reports about this clinic, I decided to visit myself. I must say that it was a fantastic experience, even better than I expected! The clinic is bright and modern, the receptionists and nurses are friendly and help to put you at ease. The dentist is gentle, knowledgeable and explains everything so thoroughly!
I highly recommend this clinic!
Have been to this dentist several times now and each time i have received professional and friendly service. Dr Claire is amazing! She is very gentle and thorough and has never recommended unnecessary treatments. The staff here are genuine and caring, as evident by the many highly rated reviews.
Great dental practice. Fong is a very experience dentist acquiring all my dental needs and the nurse emily helped my dentist experience a comfortable one. Highly recommend them.
Great staff. Fong was very gentle, personable and skilled. They take the drama out of going to the dentist. I am happy to recommend Sunbury Dental House to anyone.
I just want to say a very big thank you to Claire and her team for the excellent work l received on my recent visits to the clinic after a very bad experience. I can not recommend them highly enough for fitting me in asap especially losing a front tooth when l was out to dinner the night before. They went above and beyond and to attend to this disaster was unbelievable. I am so thankful that they were able to help and would not go anywhere else. So professional in everything they did especially as l am extremely nervous about dentists. Thank you again ??
Would recommend Dr. Fong and Caroline at Dental House, both Sunbury and Bacchus Marsh. Very friendly and welcoming. They ensure you feel comfortable and Dr. Fong has the best jokes! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
It’s all about the client here! You are made to feel welcome and comfortable the second you walk in the door. They are forward thinking in dentistry which is a huge positive for the client. Well done to all
TMJ disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, injury, arthritis, or misalignment of the teeth or jaw. Stress can also contribute significantly to the condition, as it often leads to muscle tension around the jaw. Additionally, habits like poor posture or excessive gum chewing can exacerbate the symptoms.
At Greenvale Dental House, we thoroughly evaluate your symptoms to identify the root cause of your TMJ issues. Understanding the underlying factors helps us create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
While some mild cases of TMJ disorders may improve with at-home care or self-management techniques, many people find that their symptoms persist or worsen over time without professional treatment. Leaving TMJ issues untreated can lead to further discomfort and complications, such as permanent jaw misalignment or even tooth damage from chronic grinding.
At Greenvale Dental House, we recommend early intervention to prevent these issues. Our experienced team provides effective, customised treatments that address both the symptoms and the root causes of your TMJ disorder.
The time it takes to see results from TMJ treatment varies depending on the severity of your condition and the type of treatment. Some patients may experience relief from discomfort within a few weeks of starting therapy, while others may need several months to see significant improvement. Factors like stress levels and consistency with exercises also impact recovery time.
At Greenvale Dental House, we are committed to providing ongoing support and monitoring throughout your treatment journey to ensure the best outcome. Your progress will be regularly assessed, and adjustments will be made if needed to speed up relief.
