I got a much needed deep dental clean + x-rays from Dr. Shin's office and found the experience to be pretty comfortable. The clean, bright, mellow atmosphere along with the staff's pleasant and professional demeanor helped me to feel that I was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Dr. Shin's office. - Sarah

Dr. Shin was my dentist for the entire ten years that I was in the Bay Area. I am not exaggerating when I say that her practice is the reason my partner & I stayed in the Bay Area for as long as we did. - Julie

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about TMJ treatment and our services

Is TMJ treatment painful?

Most TMJ treatments are non-invasive and well-tolerated. Splint therapy is comfortable, and therapeutic Botox involves minimal discomfort with small injections. Our approach prioritizes your comfort throughout the treatment process.

What if previous dental treatments didn't help?

Many patients come to us after trying other treatments. We take a comprehensive approach to identify underlying causes that may have been missed. Our specialized expertise in TMJ and facial pain allows us to create personalized treatment plans that address your specific condition.

How do I know if I have TMJ disorder?

Common signs include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when opening/closing your mouth, headaches, difficulty chewing, and facial muscle tension. If you experience any of these symptoms, a consultation can help determine if TMJ disorder is the cause.

Is therapeutic Botox safe for TMJ treatment?

Yes, when administered by a trained dental professional. We use conservative doses specifically targeting jaw muscles, with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy. The treatment has been proven safe and effective for TMJ and bruxism relief.

How quickly will I see results from treatment?

Results vary by treatment type. Botox typically shows effects within 3-7 days. Splint therapy may provide relief within 1-2 weeks. Cold sore laser treatment offers immediate pain relief. We'll discuss expected timelines during your consultation.
