Gentner Family Dentistry

Our temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge joint that connects our lower jaw to the skull and allows us to open and close the mouth. This joint can become inflamed because of numerous medical reasons and cause chronic facial pain, limited mobility, and fatigue. There is not one right solution for every case of TMJ disorder.

There are those who occasionally grind their teeth and do not need treatment, but others can develop a severe habit that can cause serious damage to their teeth and jaw. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can be so damaging that over time some people wear their teeth down to tiny stumps and need to have a full-mouth restoration with crowns, bridges, root canals, dental implants, or possible dentures.

Dr. Gentner has undergone training at the Dawson Academy, a distinctive training facility for dentists focusing on dental occlusion, TMJ issues, and complete esthetic restorative dentistry. Be sure to inform Dr. Gentner of any chronic pain such as headaches, neck aches, or jaw pain as these are also signs of a possible misaligned bite.
