Don’t Suffer with Chronic Jaw Pain
If you suffer from chronic TMJ jaw pain, you are not alone. There are over 35 million Americans suffering from the effects of a TMJ disorder (TMD), from mild discomfort to severe jaw pain. TMJ disorders occur when the temporomandibular joint that connects your jaw to the base of the skull becomes irritated or inflamed, causing pain and discomfort. At Steadman Family Dentistry, we provide experienced TMD therapy to let you live your life pain-free again.
“Highly Recommend!
I called around to a few Dentist yesterday trying to find someone to help me with my TMJ problem. I was told no one was able to help me until I called Doctor Steadman’s Office. The women at the front desk were exceptionally friendly and got me in a few hours after calling. When I got there everyone was so friendly and immediately solved my problem for me and provided relief. Doctor Steadman thoroughly showed me step by step what was wrong and answered any questions I had. I felt better right after leaving. I will continue to go to the Steadman Family Dentistry and HIGHLY recommend them!”
Common Causes of TMJ Disorder

We Perform Thorough Exams to Find the Source of Your Pain
At Steadman Family Dentistry, we take an educated and detailed approach to treating TMJ disorder. During the initial exam, we will take models of your mouth and check your occlusal bite to see how your bite fits together, and to discover the source of your pain. We will then be able to make the adequate occlusal adjustments, provide muscle therapy, and create oral devices to alleviate pain and stabilize the bite.
