What to expect
from this service.
TMJ treatment helps relieve jaw pain, clicking, locking, headaches, and muscle tension caused by temporomandibular joint disorders. Using personalised treatment plans that may include splints, laser therapy, lifestyle guidance, and conservative care, we focus on restoring healthy jaw function and improving your quality of life.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders affect the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, and connective tissues responsible for chewing and speaking. Following a comprehensive assessment, we develop an individualised treatment plan that may include bite splints, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, or advanced multi-wave laser therapy. At Alfredton Dental, our goal is to reduce pain, improve jaw movement, and provide long-term relief through personalised, evidence-based care.

Comprehensive Assessment
We carefully assess your jaw joints, muscles, bite, and symptoms to identify the underlying cause before recommending treatment.
02
Conservative Treatment First
Most TMJ disorders respond well to non-invasive treatments including bite splints, lifestyle changes, laser therapy, and physical rehabilitation.
03
Advanced Multi-Wave Laser
Our advanced laser therapy helps reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension while encouraging natural healing and improved jaw function.
04
Tailored Care Plan
Every patient receives an individualised treatment plan designed to relieve symptoms, restore function, and support long-term jaw health.
