TMJ Treatment in Westlake, TX
Lasting relief from jaw pain, clicking, and tension, with a plan built around the real cause.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joints connect your jaw to your skull, and when they don't work smoothly, the result is TMJ disorder, often felt as jaw pain, clicking, headaches, or difficulty chewing. It affects up to 12% of Americans and is twice as common in women as in men.
TMJ disorder has many causes: genetics, injury, a misaligned bite, teeth grinding during sleep, stress, and arthritis among them. Because the causes differ from person to person, effective treatment starts with finding yours. Dr. Stone evaluates the source of your symptoms before recommending a plan, rather than treating the pain in isolation.
Relief Built Around the Cause
From grinding to a misaligned bite, Dr. Stone identifies what is driving your TMJ, so treatment targets the cause, not just the symptom.
Treatment is matched to your case, from conservative therapies and bite appliances to Botox for muscle tension, up to surgery for severe cases.
As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Stone can manage TMJ across the full spectrum, including the complex cases other providers refer out.
The TMJ Treatment Process at Stone Dental Implant Center
1. Consultation & 3D Scan
Dr. Stone evaluates your jaw, bite, and symptoms, with imaging when needed, to pinpoint the cause of your TMJ rather than guessing at it.
2. A Tailored Plan
Treatment is matched to your case and its severity, starting with the most conservative effective option before anything more involved.
3. Conservative & Non-Surgical Care
Many cases respond to bite appliances, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or Botox to relax overactive jaw muscles and ease pain.
4. Surgical Options When Needed
For severe cases that don't respond to conservative care, Dr. Stone offers surgical treatment of the joint, planned precisely to your anatomy.
5. Lasting Relief
The goal is durable relief, a jaw that moves comfortably and pain that stays gone, with follow-up to keep it that way.

Many patients see several providers before getting a clear TMJ diagnosis. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Stone understands the jaw joint at every level, from conservative care to surgery, and finds the answer that finally makes sense.
