  BOTOX for TMJ

  Many of Dr. Dolgos's Buffalo, NY, area patients have heard that BOTOX is made from a toxin and are anxious about receiving an injection in their jaw muscles. Dr. Dolgos wants patients with pain caused by TMJ disorder to know there is nothing to worry about regarding BOTOX treatment. The toxin dosage in each muscle injection is extremely low but extremely effective. Also, the toxin has been extensively purified for your safety. Side effects other than a little soreness after treatment are very rare.

  Bruxism Treatment

  It's our mission to treat TMJ disorders without the need for surgery or expensive restorative dentistry. Dr. Dolgos at Buffalo TMJ in Orchard Park, NY, offers a range of treatment options for TMJ. Sometimes, in order to effectively treat TMJ disorders, we have to focus on treating bruxism. Teeth grinding and clenching can harm your temporomandibular joint and lead to TMJ disorders, often referred to as simply "TMJ." These disorders cause pain in your jaw muscles, create clicking or popping sounds in your jaw, and hinder movement when you open and close your mouth.

  Oral Appliance Therapy

  An oral appliance looks very similar to a sports mouthguard or a set of orthodontic retainers. Like an orthodontic retainer, an oral appliance is only worn overnight while you sleep, so it won't affect your speech or self-confidence during the daytime. Unlike a store-bought night guard, each appliance made at our Orchard Park dental practice is custom-crafted to complement your bite, correct imbalances, and reduce the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
