Finding Relief from TMJ Discomfort
Jaw pain, clicking, and chronic headaches are often signs of an underlying issue with the temporomandibular joint, commonly known as TMJ. Designer Dentistry & Smiles offers TMJ treatment to patients throughout Sioux Falls, Brandon, Harrisburg, and Tea, using the TruDenta System to identify and address the muscle and force imbalances contributing to jaw pain and related symptoms.
Rather than simply masking discomfort, our approach focuses on identifying what is actually causing your symptoms, then creating a personalized treatment plan designed to provide lasting relief.

Common Signs of TMJ Issues
TMJ-related problems can show up in a variety of ways, and many patients do not immediately connect their symptoms to the jaw joint.
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds in the jaw
- Chronic headaches or migraines
- Jaw pain or tightness, especially in the morning
- Facial pain or soreness
- Ringing in the ears
- Neck and shoulder discomfort
- Clenching or grinding of the teeth
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully
If you are experiencing any combination of these symptoms, an evaluation can help determine whether TMJ dysfunction is the underlying cause.
What to Expect from Treatment
TMJ evaluation and treatment typically begins with a detailed questionnaire and health history, followed by computerized measurements of muscle function and bite force balance. From there, a personalized treatment plan may include in-office therapies such as light therapy, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound, paired with an at-home care program designed to support lasting results.
Our Approach to TMJ Treatment
At Designer Dentistry & Smiles, we treat TMJ dysfunction using the TruDenta System, a drug-free, needle-free approach that targets the muscle and force imbalances in the head, neck, and jaw responsible for TMJ symptoms, chronic headaches, and facial pain. Rather than relying on medication or invasive procedures, TruDenta uses objective diagnostic measurements to pinpoint the specific source of your discomfort, then applies targeted therapies adapted from sports medicine to help correct it.
