Kirkwood TMJ Dentist:
Dr. Gary Wiele - General Dentist

Kirkwood's Top Choice for TMJ Treatment

Do you find that you're unable to open your mouth without painful clicking and popping sounds? If so, you may be affected by temporomandibular joint disease or TMJ. Dr. Wiele in Kirkwood has years of experience in diagnosing and treating TMJ and would love to talk with you about your symptoms. If you're experiencing constant headaches, swelling of the face near the jaw joint or feel that your jaw is locking up, please contact Gary Wiele DDS today to get back on the road to recovery.

But what causes TMJ disorder? Some contributing factors may include injuries to the jaw area, certain forms of arthritis, low-level infections and certain dental procedures. Untreated dental problems (crooked teeth, gum disease) can also lead to TMJ symptoms. At Gary Wiele DDS we're committed to listening to you and working with you to develop a plan to treat your jaw discomfort.

The treatment plan that's right for you may include restoration of certain teeth that may be contributing to the problem, attention to proper gum maintenance, pain relief, and a concerted effort to identify the underlying causes of your TMJ sumptoms. Many of our Kirkwood patients have discovered that relief can be obtained from simple changes in their eating and sleeping habits, although more advanced cases may require surgery. Talk to Dr. Gary Wiele now to learn what's right for you. Left untreated, TMJ symptoms can lead to debilitating pain and discomfort.

So why are you still suffering from TMJ syndrome? Dr. Wiele can diagnose your issue and get you started immediately on the proper plan. Call our Kirkwood office at Gary Wiele DDS to schedule an appointment today. Or use our convenience online form and we'll contact you shortly.

Don't suffer another day from debilitating TMJ symptoms. At Gary Wiele DDS we have the training and experience to diagnose and treat your condition and get you back on the road to good health.
