What Is TMJ Treatment?

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can affect everyday comfort—talking, eating, yawning, and even sleeping. Many people experience ongoing discomfort without realising that the jaw joint is the root cause. TMJ treatment focuses on easing muscle tension, reducing pain and helping to prevent long-term damage associated with clenching and grinding.

At Veritas Dental Care in Harley Street, we provide gentle, conservative and effective treatment options, including muscle-relaxing treatments that help reduce jaw tension and grinding forces.

Step-by-Step Treatment Process

Step 1: Consultation
We begin with a thorough assessment of your jaw function, muscle activity and tooth wear. We also discuss your symptoms, lifestyle and any contributing factors.
Step 2: Planning
If muscle-relaxing treatments are suitable, we determine the exact location and dosage based on your muscle activity and desired relief.
Step 3: Treatment Day
Treatment typically involves a shallow injection on each side of the jaw or temple. The procedure is quick and generally comfortable, with minimal sensation.
Step 4: Aftercare Guidance
You can return to normal activities immediately. We provide simple aftercare advice to ensure the best results.
Step 5: Follow-Up
A review appointment allows us to assess your progress and plan ongoing care if needed.
Most patients begin noticing improvement within 1–2 weeks.

Before & After Expectations

Many patients report a significant reduction in jaw tightness, headaches and clenching forces after treatment. Teeth grinding often becomes less intense, which may help limit future tooth wear.

While results vary, most feel relief for several months at a time. The goal is always to improve comfort in a safe, predictable and gradual way.

How Long Do Results Last?
