Supremia Dentistry is off-the-charts amazing. I went in for a routine cleaning and a consult about my TMJ/TMD. Dr. Suh and his staff were completely engaged with me, spent time answering my questions, and the overall energy in the office is very positive and warm. The conversations we had around my TMJ/TMD were extremely honest - I didn't feel "sold to" - and I was impressed with Dr. Suh's insights as he looked at my pictures. He basically told me my life story (regarding my teeth) by looking at my pictures. Because of Dr. Suh's perspective that "everything is connected" I left feeling hopeful because he digs deeper than just the "Oh, you grind your teeth, let's give you a mouth guard" to find root cause. It's apparent Dr. Suh challenges the historical standard answers and seeks deep understanding to inform his approach to dentistry. It's also apparent that he invests in his team and his practice. I highly recommend.

What is TMJ/TMD?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, and disorders affecting this joint are known as TMD. Various factors, including misaligned orthodontics, can contribute to its development. In many cases, TMD begins in childhood and may be linked to early bottle-feeding (before nine months), thumb sucking, or neuromuscular issues. 

Due to its wide range of symptoms, TMD is often undiagnosed or mistaken for other conditions. Common signs include

  • Migraines or frequent headaches
  • Tinnitus (ear ringing) or ear pain
  • Dizziness or vertigo
  • Fractured teeth, crowns, or restorations
  • Teeth grinding or clenching
  • Pain in the shoulders, neck, or behind the eyes
  • Jaw popping or difficulty moving the jaw

Diagnosis

Many patients endure years of debilitating migraines and unexplained symptoms, even after consulting neurologists or pain specialists and undergoing extensive imaging like CT scans and MRIs. Without a clear diagnosis, they often rely on pain medication, which can negatively impact overall health. In many cases, TMD is the overlooked root cause behind these persistent issues.

At our practice, we utilize BioPac, an advanced computerized diagnostic tool from Bio Research, a leader in neuromuscular and physiological technology. This cutting-edge system provides precise data on muscle activity, joint function, and jaw movement.

Dr. Suh carefully analyzes this information, along with a comprehensive evaluation, to ensure an accurate diagnosis and develop a targeted treatment plan.

Treatment

We offer personalized, non-invasive, and non-surgical treatments for TMD. Our custom-made dental orthotics and splint therapy help protect the jaw joint from excessive strain while providing lasting relief. Depending on your condition, treatment may also include traditional dentistry, orthodontics, or a combination of both.

With our help, many of our patients have successfully eliminated the need for long-term prescription pain medication. Regaining comfort and function can truly transform your life. If you’ve been diagnosed with TMD or suspect you may have it, schedule a consultation with Dr. Suh today.
