TMJ Treatments at Wins Dental, Jamsil Seoul

Wins Dental proudly serves patients from Gangnam, Jamsil, and Songpa, welcoming visitors from across the greater Seoul area.

Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and limited opening can signal TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). At Wins Dental (Jamsil, Seoul), we diagnose the root cause and provide conservative, step-by-step treatments to relieve pain, protect teeth, and restore comfortable jaw function.

Common TMJ/TMD Symptoms

  • Jaw pain, tightness, or morning soreness
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
  • Headaches around temples or behind the eyes
  • Ear fullness, ringing, or facial pain
  • Limited opening, locking, or jaw deviation
  • Tooth wear, fractures, or gum recession from clenching

How We Diagnose

  • TMJ exam & range of motion (opening, lateral movements)
  • Muscle palpation (masseter, temporalis, pterygoids)
  • Bite analysis (occlusion, wear patterns, parafunction)
  • Imaging as needed (panoramic, CBCT, MRI referral for joint soft tissue)

Conservative TMJ Treatments We Offer

Custom Night Guard (Occlusal Splint)

Reduces clenching forces, protects teeth/veneers, and relaxes jaw muscles for better morning comfort.

Bite Balancing & Micro-Adjustments

Selective polishing or minor restorative refinements when high spots aggravate the joint or muscles.

Physio & At-Home Therapy Plan

Gentle stretches, posture coaching, heat/ice cycles, and habit training (no gum chewing, tongue-up rest position).

Medication Support (When Appropriate)

Short courses of anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants coordinated with your medical history.

Trigger-Point & Adjunctive Care (Case-Dependent)

Focused muscle therapy, dry-needling referrals, or botulinum toxin adjuncts for refractory myofascial pain.

TMJ-Friendly Restorative Sequencing

If broken/short teeth from bruxism are involved, we stage restorations to support a stable bite.

(Surgical referrals are rare and reserved for true joint pathology or trauma.)

What to Expect From Treatment

  • Most patients feel noticeable relief within 2–6 weeks of consistent splint wear and home care.
  • Complex cases improve with multimodal care (guard + physio + habit change).
  • We track progress and fine-tune the plan at each review visit.

Self-Care Tips That Help

  • Soft diet during flare-ups; avoid hard/chewy foods and wide yawning
  • Heat 10–15 min for muscles, ice 5–10 min for joint inflammation
  • Tongue-up, teeth apart, lips together rest posture
  • Manage stress/sleep; limit caffeine late day
  • Don’t cradle the phone or lean on your jaw

When TMJ Affects Your Bite or Teeth

Clenching can chip enamel, wear down edges, and loosen fillings/crowns. We’ll protect teeth with a night guard first, then plan conservative bonding, onlays, or crowns only as needed—aiming for comfort and stability, not over-treating.
