TMD? Migraines? Chronic Headaches?

What do head and neck pain, and clenching of teeth have in common?

They all could be symptoms of TMJ disorder, a problem that occurs when the jaw joint is out of its ideal alignment. Many patients don't realize that muscles play an important role in dental success or discomfort, but in reality, a strain on one area of the mouth or jaw creates a domino effect on the connected muscles. Dr. Ben Sutter treats patients with these symptoms and many more every day at our Oregon neuromuscular dentistry office. Over the years, he has devoted the time and energy it takes to serve sufferers of TMD, migraines, whiplash, headaches and other head and neck pain with targeted, appropriate therapy.

When you visit our Salem area office, Dr. Sutter will meet with you for a personal consultation and TMJ assessment. He will discuss any current discomfort you may be experiencing, and then employ our computerized tools to assess your current condition, including if your jaw opens and closes as it should. If necessary, the doctor can prescribe measures such as full mouth reconstruction, orthotic appliances, or other bite adjustment techniques. Dr. Sutter uses the philosophy and tools of neuromuscular dentistry to restore full-mouth function for every patient. He is passionate about putting years of training and experience to work stopping discomfort and correcting underlying bite problems. When you smile...we smile!
