Cupertino

If you are experiencing chronic jaw pain, headaches, or other symptoms of TMJ disorder, we're here to help!

What is TMJ/TMD disorder?

Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are positioned in front of your ears and play a key role in linking your lower jaw to your skull. If one or both of these joints are not properly aligned, it can result in strain on the joints and the adjacent muscles. This can lead to inflammation in the muscles as they exert additional effort to maintain the correct jaw position, placing added pressure on the surrounding tissues and nerves. Our aim is to assist you in managing jaw tension and discomfort, enabling you to lead a pain-free life.

Oral Appliance Therapy

At night, you can wear a personalized mouth appliance, like a mouthguard, to stop teeth grinding and support correct jaw positioning. Our use of cutting-edge technology allows us to create a tailored, snug-fitting appliance specifically for your needs.

BOTOX® Therapy

Our experienced doctors are trained to safely and effectively use BOTOX for TMJ and facial pain disorders, helping to alleviate pain and tension by relaxing the overworked muscles around the TMJs with injections.

Bite Adjustment

TMJ symptoms can be relieved by correcting a misaligned bite using tooth reshaping, orthodontics, or restorative treatments. Our use of cutting-edge technology allows us to assess your bite and decide on the most minimally invasive treatment plan.

What are the symptoms of TMJ disorder?

Common signs and symptoms of TMJ disorder include:

  • Pain or tenderness in the jaw, face, neck, or shoulders
  • Clicking, popping, or grating sounds when opening or closing the mouth
  • Difficulty or discomfort while chewingLocking of the jaw joint
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Earaches or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Dizziness or vertigo

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation with our TMJ experts today.

Is TMJ treatment covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage for TMJ treatment differs according to your particular plan and the recommended type of treatment. Typically, most dental and medical plans provide some coverage for TMJ therapies if they are considered medically necessary. We will collaborate with you to maximize your benefits and identify a financial option that suits your budget.

Can TMJ disorder go away on its own?

In mild instances, TMJ symptoms might improve without intervention through self-care techniques such as rest, ice/heat therapy, and gentle jaw exercises. Nonetheless, if your symptoms continue or get worse, it is essential to seek professional treatment to avoid long-term damage and persistent pain. Getting help early gives you the greatest opportunity for effective, non-invasive treatment.

How long does TMJ treatment take?

The duration of your TMJ treatment will be determined by the seriousness of your condition and the recommended therapy type. While some patients may find substantial relief in a few weeks, others might need several months of therapy to get the best results. We will give you a customized timetable and support you throughout to make sure you succeed.

Patient Testimonials

You say it best.

Dr.Pham & Dr.Katerina are the best! Very conservative and go into details to explain things to patients.

I have never liked the look of my teeth. The spaces between my teeth have always bothered me. I found PCCD while doing research on the internet and went to him to find out what my options were. He gave me new porcelain veneers and closed the spaces between my teeth. Now, I feel more confident about my smile.

In a word.... AWESOME! I lost a front crown the night before calling Dental Arts of Mountain View. The next day, only hours later, I had a new crown! Dr. Oh and his staff, Susie, Haley, Margorie and Beatrice were truly amazing. The lobby and offices are gorgeous and provides a tranquil environment with massage chairs during procedures. Yes, this dental office is second to none. I did extensive research by googling the "best cosmetic and general dentistry." Dental Arts was at the top of the list. A well deserved reputation that I drove an hour and half to confirm.  The cost was unbelievable affordable.  Great value and results that left a very big Smile on my face! Thank you very much Dental Arts you are the BEST!

Phenomenal experience. I look for a dentist who not only has experience but the highest quality of skill and care. It’s not just about quality, though, I also look for someone who has an excellent reputation. Doctors who have the skill-set as well as attention to detail. It is important to me to have  the ability to understand my needs and desired outcome. I really do appreciate Dr. Field being a premier leader in cosmetic dentistry. Impressive.

I can’t wait to see the models of my teeth not to mention, my new smile! I even brought my kid with me, too! Now that is incredible!  Thank you!

I came to PCCD after doing extensive research online. I had old crowns on my front teeth, old amalgam fillings on my molars that have been worn down. I was also never comfortable with my smile. I’ve always had a dental phobia since childhood and have avoided seeing a dentist… They listened to all my concerns and issues. They presented different options and reviewed them with me. I ended up doing a full mouth reconstruction and I am very happy with the results. It was the best decision I ever made.

Because I am on camera everyday, my smile is so important. PCCD’s dentists and wonderful staff made it beautiful, white and healthy. And the best part – no pain and no anxiety. Going to PCCD was a pleasant experience. Did you ever think you would hear that about going to a dentist? I would recommend PCCD to anyone.

I had a great experience having work done on my teeth! The staff was super friendly and scheduling was a breeze. Dr. Pham took his time making sure that I was completely comfortable throughout the procedure. The folks in the office were very thoughtful making me feel well taken care of. After the procedure, everything aligned properly the first time which I was impressed by!

Such a lovely place for me and my teeth! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, they always remember me and ask about my family, the whole facility is immaculate, and while they recommend options they never try to push extra services on me. The cost is competitive for Silicon Valley and they accept insurance and flex spending accounts so I waltz right out the door with no hassle! Happy teeth and BEE!

Bonnie E.

Excellent and professional care for replacement of two crowns by Dr. Van and his able assistant, Lo. Clear explanations as he proceeded, Dr. Van's manner was warm, reassuring and expert. I am squeamish about dental care, and they made me feel so safe, calm and reassured.  I am happy to recommend the entire office.

Face it, nobody likes going to the dentist. I get that. But I actually look forward to my dentist visits because of the people! Everyone here is so nice and non-judgmental it's been my pleasure to go here for going on 5 years now! They also know what they're doing, which hasn't been my experience in the past. I am consistently confident that they will take care of my mouth when I go here!

Clint D.

Thank you, staff of the Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry for making my cosmetic dentistry experience outstanding. Before visiting, I was self conscious of my teeth and hardly smiled at new people or in pictures. Now I have a brilliant smile and my self confidence has been boosted! I would recommend the Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry to anyone.

As a new patient, I can say the whole team was super friendly! When you walk in the door, you immediately feel welcomed. The whole staff were all nice and helpful. Dr. Pham did a good job to make sure you felt comfortable and that you left without any questions. Definitely recommend!

I had my first visit with Dr. Indah at Dental Arts of Mountain View today. It was for a TMJ consult. It was by far and away one of the most thorough exams and consultation I've ever had. Amayra, her assistant, was professional, kind and a very warm person. Dr. Indah was also very professional, informative and kind. I am very happy with this office and my first visit was excellent!
