Causes for a TMJ disorder are often hard to determine since they differ so greatly. Trauma to the jaw, arthritis, tooth alignment issues, and teeth grinding or clenching can all play a role. Whatever the reason, we can help you get out of pain and allow your jaw to heal. One of the ways we do this is with a custom-made oral appliance. Since teeth grinding occurs most often when you sleep, you’ll wear your night guard when you go to bed. It will:
We may also pair this treatment with occlusal adjustment. If your teeth are out of alignment, whether due to normal wear and tear or because of your TMJ disorder, your dentist will examine your mouth for any necessary adjustments. This usually involves smoothing out problem areas of your teeth to prevent further bite problems.

Very welcoming and such a neat office. Not to mention the love and support from the dog at the office, April. Such a sweet dog! Aside from that, everyone there is very informal and talks you through the right procedures you will need to follow to ensure healthy teeth 🙂 very professional and I would recommend to anyone looking into getting their teeth checked, etc 🙂
Super impressed with the entire experience as a new patient. From the front desk staff to the assistants to the hygienist and doctor, everyone was so kind and welcoming. The exam was incredibly thorough, and having their therapy dog (Dr. April) on my lap the whole time definitely calmed my nerves. Prices were very transparent, and they were very helpful with navigating through my insurance. Office is clean and pretty and not at all impersonal or uptight like many of the corporate-owned facilities can be. Happy to have found this office/team!
I had the best experience at Greenwood today! The staff was so welcoming & friendly, I felt so comfortable from the moment i walked into the office. April is the sweetest pup, so affectionate & such a valuable resource to make you feel at ease. Absolutely would recommend to anyone who is in the market for a dentist.
Dr. Kurziak is amazing! She did a few fillings on me and made sure it was a painless and easy process. After she finished she even took the time to give me tips on how to better avoid cavities so I will need less fillings in the future. Thank you Dr K and the Greenwood Dental Care staff for giving the best quality care for your patients!!!
Staff is personable and sensitive to my dental needs. Service is quick and thorough. The atmosphere is calming with intriguing decor. Location is very conveniently accessible. I will be bringing my family for their needs to Greenwood, as well. Best dental visit I have ever had within this group.
I’ve been going to this dental practice for over 30 years – it’s changed hands a few times and some of the dentists have come and gone but it’s the best it’s ever been! Dr Kurziak and dental hygienist Dawn and staff are THE BEST! They not only care about your teeth, but they care about you as a person! If you’re lucky you can schedule an appointment for one of the days when Dr April the canine is in the office ❤️ The office is beautiful and conveniently located. They have appointments available to fit your schedule! 😁😁😁
I can’t say enough how thankful I am for Greenwood Dental and all that they have done for the health of my mouth. Prior to coming to Dr. Kurziak and her incredible team, I was so anxious about walking into a dentist office. They are amazing here and the care they have taken to make me at ease is so appreciated. It’s a pleasure to now say “I love going to the dentist”.
My experience with Greenwood Dental Care has been amazing! The staff are friendly and show that they really care about their patients. They are also always on time with their appointments and get you taken care of in a timely manner! I will for sure keep on coming back!
It is always a good experience at Greenwood Dental. Yesterday My dentist and her assistant sang to every song that played on the radio during my procedure! What fun!! Had another appt today and as always Dr. K has made a visit to her office a pleasurable experience! Thanks Greenwood Dental.
This place was recommended by my neighbor and I am so happy to have brought my kiddos here! Dr. Z and her assistant were so patient with my 2.5 year old and my 10 year old, both are anxious about dentist but both left with a very positive experience here due to the service and patience they provided. Highly recommended.
Yes, our TMJ treatment has been able to help many patients over the years relieve their pain for good. No matter which type of treatment you end up going with, the team here at Greenwood Dental Care will make sure it’s the right one for you. Besides you, no one wants your treatment to be successful more than we do.
There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.
Your insurance may pay for a portion of the cost of your TMJ treatment. We recommend you check with your carrier to determine what they will and won’t cover. We’ll work with your insurance to maximize your benefits and ensure that your out-of-pocket cost is minimal. Our team wants you to get the help you need to feel better.
