young woman holding her jaw in severe pain, signs of TMJDo you find yourself frequently experiencing jaw pain, clicking or popping noises when you open your mouth, or persistent ear discomfort? If so, you could be dealing with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder, a condition that can cause chronic pain and disrupt your daily life. Thankfully, relief is closer than you think. At the Centreville Dental Wellness Center, located in Centreville, VA, near Chantilly and Manassas, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ conditions to get you back to feeling your best.

Understanding TMJ Disorder

Your temporomandibular joint plays a crucial role in your ability to chew, speak, and move your mouth. But when this joint becomes misaligned or overstrained, it can lead to discomfort and pain that affects more than just your jaw. TMJ disorder symptoms can include:

  • Jaw pain or stiffness
  • Clicking or popping sounds when you open or close your mouth
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Ear pain or a feeling of fullness in the ears
  • Frequent headaches or facial pain

If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to pay attention. TMJ disorder often goes undiagnosed, leaving many patients to endure unnecessary discomfort. Fortunately, Dr. Rena Vakay and our experienced team at the Centreville Dental Wellness Center are here to guide you toward relief.

Expert TMJ Diagnosis and Treatment

At the Centreville Dental Wellness Center, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating TMJ disorder. Dr. Vakay brings a wealth of expertise in TMJ care, carefully assessing each patient’s symptoms, bite alignment, and jaw function to determine the root cause of their condition. Once a diagnosis is made, we can create a personalized treatment plan designed to alleviate your pain and restore proper jaw function.

How We Treat TMJ Disorders

We offer several highly effective options for TMJ treatment, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient:

  • Appliance Therapy

Custom-made oral appliances can help relieve TMJ discomfort by aligning the jaw in a more favorable position. These devices are designed to reduce stress on the joint, improve jaw alignment, and prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) that may worsen your symptoms.

  • Occlusal Equilibration Therapy

This treatment addresses bite misalignments that can put unnecessary pressure on your temporomandibular joint. By carefully reshaping the surfaces of your teeth, Dr. Vakay can achieve a balanced bite that eases stress on your jaw.

  • Botox for TMJ Treatment

Botox is not just for wrinkles—it’s also a tested solution for TMJ pain relief. By relaxing the overactive muscles causing tension in the jaw area, Botox can significantly reduce symptoms of pain and discomfort.

What Our Patients Say

My experience with Dr Vakay and her team has been extraordinary. Very professional, very competent, and very caring. The culture exudes kindness and caring. Dr. Vakay's follow up with her patients is unusual in my experience . She called me in the evening to ask how I was doing. I have never had a doctor do that for me.

Tim S.

A colleague recommended Dr. Abel and my first time there was the best dental experience I have had in 43 years. I had my 2nd appt earlier this week. Another great experience. Everything from reception, cleaning, to leaving was great. The hygienist was so gentle, yet did an extremely thorough job. Excellent dental practice!!

Robin S.

The best dentist in the DMV! I have loved coming here and the office is incredible - you will not be dissatisfied and they take great care of thier patients. I would highly recommend this office.

Kelley M.

I've been coming into this office for years and every time they've been so warm and accommodating. Dr. Vakay and the whole staff really puts in every effort to make sure her patients are taken care of with the most high quality work. She fixed my Maryland Bridge so now my teeth look amazing and my smile gives me so much more confidence! I could not recommend this office enough!

Sydney C.

I have been using this practice for many years. The staff continues to be professional and thorough. The front desk staff is well versed in insurance practices and billing. They help me understand my benefits better than my insurance provider. Holly is a very professional dental hygienist who addressed several teeth and gum health issues by giving very practical tips for me to implement for better personal dental hygiene. Dr. Abel's practice is well run! They use the latest imaging technology that support accurate diagnostics. You will not be dissatisfied.

Charles I.

Professional, personable and all around AWESOME! I've been a fan since day 1 and can't say enough about this team! From the front office to the back, these folks take the edge off of "going to the dentist". Dr. Vacay leads the way with her expertise, gentle hands, and personal touches (she texted me on the evening of what I thought was a pretty minor procedure that day just to see if I was comfortable-WOW! Her assistant Christina really knows her stuff and moves with precision and a gentle touch. From the moment I walk in to the warm greetings of Sogand, Tonia, and Jessica, to the moment I walk out, I hardly remember I was "just at the dentist". Thank you, Centreville Dental Wellness Center! You make going to the dentist a pleasurable experience!!

Anastasia P.

I'm a current patient, doing a search of dentists that treat TMJ, and found Dr Vakay. Words cannot express her concern, a concrete pathway of treatment to make my mouth, my bite, all normal again. She is a wonderful find, has taken care of other issues on my teeth I'm so happy I found her! Thank you Dr Vakay for giving me my bite back!!! Also all staff from front desk to dental hygienist Could not be more satisfied!!
