Harmony Dental brings 20 years of clinical experience diagnosing and treating complex temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders for the eastern San Gabriel Valley also known as the greater Los Angeles area community. Our dedication to finding the non-surgical root cause of your jaw pain is backed by our 200+ 5-star reviews.

Your comprehensive TMJ evaluation will be expertly managed by Dr. Nguyen. As a highly trained DMD, they specialize in the complex neuromuscular relationship between your teeth, jaw joints, and facial muscles. Our practice is also incredibly proud to be recognized with 5 star dentist of West Covina.

Common symptoms include a clicking or popping sound when you open your mouth, pain while chewing, lockjaw, chronic tension headaches, ringing in the ears, and unexplained neck or shoulder pain. If you are experiencing these, we utilize 3D Digital X-rays, 3d scanners, digital impressions, and pain-free laser dentistry to accurately pinpoint the source of the joint dysfunction.

Absolutely. The vast majority of TMJ cases can be treated entirely without surgery. We prioritize conservative, non-invasive therapies such as custom-fitted oral orthotics (splints), bite equilibration, and muscle relaxation techniques. We also offer local anesthetic, powerful numbing gel, warm blankets and noise-canceling headphones so your evaluation and fitting visits are completely stress-free.

The cost of TMD therapy varies widely depending on whether your condition requires a simple bite guard to stop nighttime grinding or a more advanced neuromuscular orthotic to continuously realign your jaw. Because living pain-free is vital, Harmony Dental proudly offers CareCredit, Sunbit, Alpheon, Credit Card and in-house membership plan to make your custom treatment plan highly affordable.
