Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) Screening

Comprehensive Evaluation for Lasting Relief

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) can cause persistent jaw pain, difficulty chewing, headaches, and even ear discomfort. At Bend Oral, Facial & Implant Surgery, we utilize advanced imaging technology and comprehensive diagnostics to accurately assess TMJ disorders and develop effective, personalized treatment plans.

State-of-the-Art TMJ Diagnostics

We use the Kodak 9000/9500 Cone Beam CT Scanner to obtain detailed 3D images of your jaw joint, condyles, and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging allows us to:

  • Evaluate Joint Alignment & Function – Identify structural abnormalities causing discomfort.
  • Measure Condyles with Precision – Detect joint degeneration, fractures, or asymmetry.
  • Assess Bone & Soft Tissue Health – Pinpoint arthritis, inflammation, or other underlying conditions affecting the TMJ.
  • Determine Treatment Options – Develop a customized care plan based on your specific diagnosis.

Do You Have TMJ Disorder?

TMD symptoms vary but may include:

  • Chronic jaw pain or stiffness
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding in the jaw
  • Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
  • Frequent headaches or earaches
  • Pain while chewing, talking, or yawning

 

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, a comprehensive TMJ evaluation can provide answers and relief.
