Sound familiar? Don’t continue suffering – these symptoms rarely resolve on their own, but our Abbotsford dental clinic can help. The sooner you seek treatment, the better your chances of finding lasting relief.

What’s Happening With Your TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. When the muscles controlling this joint become overactive or the joint itself becomes inflamed, it can lead to TMJ disorder (TMD). Botulinum Toxin works by temporarily relaxing these overactive muscles, reducing tension and allowing the joint to function more normally.

Common causes of TMJ disorders we frequently see include:

We make sure you’re comfortable. The procedure is quick with minimal discomfort, using very fine needles.

We identify the specific jaw muscles that are overactive and contributing to your TMJ symptoms.

We administer small, precise amounts of Botulinum Toxin into these targeted muscles.

The Botulinum Toxin begins working within 24-48 hours, gradually relaxing the overactive muscles.

You’ll notice reduced muscle tension, decreased grinding force, and relief from pain over the next 1-2 weeks.

Botulinum Toxin treatments take 10–15 minutes, lasting 3–4 months. Abbotsford patient Mark shares, “Years of stress caused jaw locking, but these treatments restored normal function and relieved constant pain, giving me comfort and ease in daily life.”

Why Not Just Use a Night Guard?

Most recently, they fit me in the next morning after I chipped my tooth. I was in and out in 20 minutes. My 5 year old looks forward to his checkups because the staff is so great. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to Medora for a few years now. I suffer from significant anxiety when going to the dentist and they have always taken care to make sure I am ok. I would say that since I have to go to the dentist this dentist manages to make the best of what will always be a crappy experience for me and i actually find my anxiety getting better. The only minor thing is I think communication could be a touch better when changes in hygienist or dentist occur as it tends to throw me off as to what i mentally prepare for but still 5 stars as far as a dentist goes.
