Facial Pain & TMJ
Pain that wakes you at 4am has a cause. We find it before we treat it.

- Tension-type & myofascial headaches
- Bruxism damage
- Trigeminal neuralgia (referred)
- Post-traumatic facial pain
Procedures we perform
- Diagnostic occlusal splint
- Trigger-point injections

Workflow
- 01
60-minute pain interview
Pain map, sleep history, stress and medication review — pain is rarely the disease itself.
- 02
Imaging & occlusal analysis
MRI for the joint disc when indicated, plus T-Scan digital occlusal mapping.
- 03
Conservative trial
8–12 week splint and physio trial. Most patients improve substantially before invasive options.

Escalation if needed
If conservative care fails, arthrocentesis or arthroscopy is offered with full informed consent.
