TMJ (TMD) THERAPY

The temporomandibular joints connect the lower jaw to the skull and are responsible for opening and closing the mouth. Poorly functioning joints can cause pain in the face, neck, back, or shoulders, and may even cause severe headaches.

If you suffer from TMJ (TMD) pain, Dr. Zabner offers multiple approaches to treatment, and can customize a plan that will address your unique situation. A bite appliance, splint, or crown may be recommended to change the position of your bite, relieving stress and pain on the joints.

For more information about these treatments, and other options for TMJ (TMD), please contact our office today for a private consultation with Dr. Zabner.

Migraine Solutions

Suffer from migraines or tension headaches?  New approaches to treatment can virtually eliminate or greatly reduce the need for medications.

Developed in response to research that indicates the majority of all migraine patients clench their jaws while sleeping, the FDA-approved NTI (Nocioceptive Trigeminal Inhibition) appliance is custom-made to fit on the lower two front teeth or the upper two front teeth. By reducing pressure on the sensitive trigeminal nerve, the NTI device has been shown to greatly reduce or even eliminate the symptoms of migraine and the need for medication.

The NTI can be custom-made for you by Dr. Zabner right in his office. If you are interested in learning more about the NTI dental device, please contact Dr. Zabner today.
