Botox for TMJ

Reclaim a Pain-Free Life with Botox for TMJ

When you chew, do you struggle with constant jaw pain, headaches, or a clicking sensation? TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder can turn simple daily activities into painful challenges. At Artistic Dentistry in Houston, we offer Botox for TMJ as a noninvasive, highly effective treatment to relieve tension, reduce pain, and restore comfort to your jaw.

How Botox Eases TMJ Pain

Botox isn’t just for smoothing wrinkles—it’s a game-changer for TMJ relief. This advanced treatment works by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for pain, tension, and teeth grinding. When these muscles relax, they reduce strain on the TMJ, alleviating discomfort and restoring normal jaw function.

  • Quick & Non-Surgical – A simple, in-office procedure that takes just minutes
  • Long-Lasting Relief – Results can last up to 4 months
  • Minimally Invasive – No surgery, no downtime, just relief

What to Expect During Your Botox for TMJ Treatment

Our treatment process is straightforward, gentle, and customized to your specific needs:

1. Personalized Consultation

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, jaw movement, and muscle tension. Our goal is to understand your pain and provide a tailored treatment plan.

2. Precise Botox Injections

Using a fine needle, we carefully inject Botox into key jaw muscles, including the masseter and temporalis. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort—many patients say it feels like a small pinch.

3. Gradual, Noticeable Relief

You’ll start feeling the effects within a few days, with full relief setting in after one to two weeks. Over time, the muscles relax, easing pain, reducing clenching, and preventing further TMJ-related damage.

Who Can Benefit from Botox for TMJ?

Botox may be the perfect solution if you experience:

  • Chronic jaw pain and tightness
  • Frequent headaches or migraines caused by jaw tension
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism) and excessive jaw clenching
  • Limited jaw movement or a locking sensation
  • Ear pain or ringing due to TMJ disorder

Our expert dental team at Artistic Dentistry is here to help you break free from the cycle of pain and regain control of your life.
