Expert TMJ Treatment With a Biologic Approach
At SohoSmile®, under the leadership of Dr. John Koutsoyiannis and our expert team, we employ a comprehensive and biologic approach to treating TMJ disorders. With the collaboration of our multidisciplinary dental team, we ensure the highest quality results for every TMJ procedure.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders arise from issues affecting the temporomandibular joints, leading to pain or limited mouth movement. Symptoms include persistent discomfort during chewing, speaking, or swallowing, jaw clicking, popping, or locking, earaches, headaches, and jaw muscle soreness.
Additionally, pain can extend beyond the joints, causing inflammation in the face, neck, and shoulders. Factors like teeth grinding, jaw injuries, arthritis, or everyday wear and tear can contribute to joint and muscle damage. Dr. John provides precise diagnosis of TMJ symptoms and develops personalized treatment plans to meet each patient's unique needs.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates for TMJ Treatment?
Ideal candidates for TMJ treatment seek relief from chronic or acute pain associated with TMJ disorders. Dr. John assesses each patient’s condition and prefers non-surgical options initially, reserving TMJ surgery for severe cases.
TMJ Treatment Options
From night guards to physical therapy, we offer a range of TMJ treatments to alleviate pain and discomfort. Our treatments include wearing a night guard, physical therapy sessions, dietary adjustments, and pain management techniques.
TMJ Surgery
In severe cases, TMJ surgery may be recommended to relieve pain and restore jaw function. Procedures such as TMJ arthroscopy or TMJ replacement are performed on an outpatient basis, with surgery considered as a last resort.
What to Expect During Treatment
TMJ treatment varies depending on the recommended modality, ranging from physical therapy to medication and night guard usage. Dr. John guides patients through each step of the treatment process to ensure optimal results.
After TMJ Treatment
Ongoing follow-up visits may be necessary to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. Dr. John provides personalized care and support to help patients achieve long-term relief from TMJ symptoms.

Ensuring your well-being post-procedure is paramount to us. We tailor our post-operative care to each procedure, facilitating a smooth recovery and ensuring optimal outcomes.
