What Our TMJ/TMD Treatment Customers Say

After dealing with jaw pain and headaches for like 2 years, I finally found Dr. Gardner at GD Dentistry. She really took the time to explain what was causing my TMJ issues - turns out I was clenching at night way more than I realized. Got fitted for a night guard and did some exercises she recommended. It took a few weeks to get used to wearing it, but 3 months later my morning headaches are basically gone. The office staff is super nice too, especially Maria at the front desk who helped sort out my insurance coverage. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is sometimes they run a bit behind schedule.

– Sarah M., Norwalk

Best decision I made was coming here for my TMJ treatment. Been suffering for years, tried 3 other dentists before who just gave me pain meds. Dr. G actually found the root cause - my bite was misaligned from an old filling. Fixed that + got me started on physical therapy exercises. Not gonna lie, the first month was rough but now I can actually eat without pain. They're not the cheapest but worth every penny.

– Robert Chen, Stamford

Quick review - had terrible jaw clicking & Dr Gardner helped tremendously. The ultrasound therapy + exercises really worked for me. Office is clean, staff is professional. Only downside is parking can be tricky during peak hours. Been going for about 6 months now and definitely seeing improvement.

– Melissa D., Darien

Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ/TMD Treatment

How much does TMJ treatment typically cost at GD Dentistry of Stamford?

Treatment costs vary depending on the severity of your TMJ/TMD and the required treatment plan. Initial consultations are $175, which includes a comprehensive examination and X-rays. Basic treatment plans involving custom nightguards and exercises typically range from $800-$1,500. More complex treatments involving dental work or Botox therapy can range from $2,000-$4,000. We accept most major insurance plans and offer CareCredit financing options to help make treatment more affordable. We'll provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.

What types of TMJ treatment methods do you offer?

At GD Dentistry, we offer multiple treatment approaches based on your specific condition. Our primary treatments include custom-fitted orthotic devices and nightguards, therapeutic Botox injections to relax overactive jaw muscles, physical therapy exercises, and dental treatments to correct bite issues. For severe cases, we also provide occlusal adjustments and can coordinate with local specialists in Fairfield County if surgical intervention is needed. Dr. Gordon Davidson personally evaluates each patient to determine the most effective treatment combination.

How long does it typically take to see improvement in TMJ symptoms?

Most patients begin experiencing relief within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment. However, complete improvement can take 3-6 months depending on your condition's severity and compliance with the treatment plan. We schedule follow-up appointments every 2-3 weeks initially to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed. Some patients may require ongoing management to prevent symptom recurrence. We've found that patients who consistently follow their prescribed treatment plan and exercises typically see the fastest improvement.
