TMJ/TMD Treatment Near You

Jaw pain is one of those problems that sneaks into your daily life. It shows up when you speak, chew, yawn, or even smile.

When the jaw joints stop working properly, the pain can spread to your head, neck, ears, and even your shoulders, making simple moments feel stressful.

If you're searching for TMD/TMJ Treatment in Atlanta, Heart of Vinings Dentistry offers gentle, effective solutions to bring comfort back into your daily routine.

Dr. Jay Kansal, Dr. Caitlin Mercke, and Dr. Farnia Shariati use advanced, patient-focused care to ease your discomfort and support long-term jaw health.

What Exactly Is TMD/TMJ Treatment?

TMD refers to disorders affecting the temporomandibular joints, the hinges that help your jaw move.

When these joints become strained, inflamed, or misaligned, symptoms like clicking, headaches, and jaw stiffness begin.

Our TMD/TMJ Treatment in Atlanta is designed to uncover the cause of your pain and create a personalized care plan - which includes custom nightguards, bite adjustments, muscle relaxation and more.

We follow a gentle and non-surgical approach to help patients reduce and restore a natural jaw movement.
