We take the time to understand your symptoms and create a treatment plan that supports long-term comfort and jaw health.

How We Can Support Your Jaw Health
At Dentistry On Derry Dental, we provide personalized and compassionate TMJ/TMD care focused on long-term relief and comfort. When TMJ/TMD is left untreated, everyday activities like chewing, speaking, or even laughing can become uncomfortable. Below are some of the treatment options we offer to help manage your symptoms effectively:
Custom Night Guards
Our professionally crafted night guards are made specifically for your bite to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. These guards help minimize the effects of nighttime grinding and clenching, which are common causes of jaw strain and soreness. By reducing pressure on the jaw joints and protecting your teeth, night guards can ease discomfort and promote more restful sleep.
Muscle Relief & Jaw Therapy
We provide guided jaw exercises and gentle therapeutic techniques aimed at easing muscle tension. These therapies help improve jaw mobility, reduce tightness, and support healthy joint movement. By learning proper relaxation methods and exercises, you can actively reduce pain and prevent TMJ/TMD symptoms from worsening over time.
Occlusal (Bite) Correction
An uneven bite can place extra stress on your jaw joints and muscles. Our dental team can carefully evaluate your bite and make minor adjustments to help your teeth align more comfortably. Improving how your teeth come together can significantly reduce jaw tension and improve overall function. Along with in-office care, we also share practical lifestyle tips—such as dietary changes and jaw-friendly habits—to help you manage TMJ/TMD symptoms at home.
