When you speak, laugh, bite, chew, or open your mouth, you are relying on your temporomandibular joints (TMJ). They act as hinges that enable you to open and close your jaw comfortably. Unfortunately, when the area becomes inflamed, it can lead to a TMJ disorder that causes pain and discomfort in your mouth. At 19th Street Dental, you can find TMJ treatment in Atlanta that will help you:
Find relief by calling 678-990-3143 for an appointment. We offer appointments as early as 7 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If you’ve noticed popping sounds when you open your mouth, pain in your jaw, or frequent headaches, those are all symptoms of a TMJ disorder. These issues may be caused or intensified if you grind your teeth. Teeth grinding is common among those who suffer from TMJ trouble. If you leave your TMJ dysfunction untreated, you risk damaging your teeth by cracking or chipping your tooth enamel or even loosening your tooth.
When you come to see us for treatment, we may recommend a night guard. We’ll help you obtain a custom night guard that will act as a barrier between your teeth. This helps avoid damage caused by grinding and also gives your jaw a chance to heal so you’ll feel better.
We’ll also do an examination to address any damage to your smile. We can do dental bonding to address minor cracks or chips. If you have more significant injury to your teeth, we can use dental crowns to repair your smile.
You no longer have to live with jaw pain! Call 678-990-3143 for new patients or for existing patients. You can also request an appointment online.
Best dentist ever! Dr. Patel and his staff are friendly, gentle, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. My boyfriend referred me to 19th Street. My root canal was failing. Dr. Patel removed the bad tooth as quick and painless as possible. He understands aesthetics and set me a temporary tooth while I wait on my implant. I trust him with my dental health and highly recommend.
Our family have been seeing Dr. Patel for our dental needs for years and he and his staff are phenomenal. They listen, take care, remedy dental issues immediately and work with your insurance for proper care. I highly recommend them the best! Hubbard Family

TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal.
The length of your TMJ treatment will depend on the treatment method you require. Some patients respond well to a night guard while sleeping to eliminate their TMJ pain. Some patients respond best to clear aligner therapy, which usually takes between 12 and 18 months to complete.
Your insurance may pay for a portion of the cost of your TMJ treatment. We recommend you check with your carrier to determine what they will and won’t cover. We’ll work with your insurance to maximize your benefits and ensure that your out-of-pocket cost is minimal. Our team wants you to get the help you need to feel better.
