If you grind your teeth, you may have noticed it can damage your tooth enamel, even causing chips and cracks that may need restorative repair. Worse, it can result in unseen damage like a TMJ disorder. With this disorder, your temporomandibular joints become inflamed, causing painful symptoms such as chronic headaches and an aching jaw. We can ease pressure on your jaw with TMJ treatment in Calallen Corpus Christi, giving it a chance to heal.
More than 10 million people in the U.S. have TMJ disorder. Source.
Our treatment will:
If you think you could have a TMJ disorder, schedule a consultation with one of our dentists by calling 361-317-7226.
Though several factors may contribute to a TMJ disorder, many people who suffer from TMJ pain grind their teeth and/or clench their jaws, two habits often linked to stress. It is often hard to identify these behaviors, as many people do them only during the night while they sleep. Our dentists look for wear and tear and other signs of damage caused by grinding during every dental exam. Some people are tipped off by other members of their household or routinely awaken with a sore jaw.
If we find evidence of these damaging habits, we can fit you for a custom mouthguard. While making dental impressions can be painful for those suffering from TMJ disorders, our digital scanning technology ensures it will be a comfortable process for you.

The staff and hygienist are so kind and understanding. When I need a quick cleaning, they are efficient and get me out with a nice clean smile in 30 minutes ! And Dr Thompson worked well with my PTSD from childhood dental abuse. I’m no longer scared of the big bad needle. I got a crown that didn’t hurt at all! He’s the best !
It was my first time going to a dentist in years and they made it very comfortable for me. They told me step by step what they were going to do before they did it. Made conversation and gave me solid advice. I’d definitely recommend them 🙂
very pleasant appointment! Dr. Stewart and William were awesome! -They both made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after my procedure. The front staff was friendly! I also felt like I was taken care of in a timely manner.
Had a horrible experience with my previous dentist so I decided to try out Sabal dental which was recommended by a few friends. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I had to come back in for a filling 2 weeks after my first appointment and was in and out within an hour pain free. Love Love Love this office!
I called Sabal Dental to schedule an appointment for my mom because she was having tooth pain. Alicia did a great job verifying her insurance & was able to schedule her the same day for X-rays, an exam & a cleaning. Hilda did a great job, my mother felt very comfortable during the cleaning & she could not be any happier with the treatment plan recommended by Dr. Montalvo, we left with the next appointment scheduled. Thank you Sabal Dental for taking good care of my mother.
I’ve been coming here to Sabal Dental for about two years now and I actually look forward to coming here for my dental check ups. I love the fact that they send out reminders and that they also call you, being that I travel they always try to accommodate my schedule. Plus the staff is just awesome. Thanks 👍🏽
I found the staff personable, friendly, and efficient. I was very pleased with my first experience at Sabal Dental. Thanks for an excellent first visit with Jessica, Allison, and Dr. Blankenship.
I have been going to Sabal dental for over a year now. I went in today to have some Crown work performed. Jolene did an excellent job explaining the procedure and what was going to be done to make me feel completely relaxed. Doctor Sperry took her time to make sure that I was comfortable during the whole procedure. I would highly recommend this dental clinic for any work or general cleaning anyone might need.
Depending on the type of insurance policy you have, it may cover a portion of your TMJ treatment. We recommend that you contact your carrier to see if it is covered and what your out-of-pocket cost would be. Keep in mind that we offer third-party financing options through CareCredit, which has zero- and low-interest rates on their payment plans.
The exact price of your TMJ treatment can vary, depending on the type of oral appliance that we have made for you. It is best for you to first come in for an examination so that we can determine the proper course of treatment. At that time, we can give you an accurate estimate and answer any questions you have about your TMJ treatment.
Yes, our TMJ treatment has been very effective for a number of our patients who were seeking help with TMJ pain. We normally use a custom-fitted oral appliance that you wear while sleeping. It puts gentle pressure on your lower jaw to move it slightly forward, relieving the tension on your TMJs at the same time. Most of our patients have little to no problem getting used to it.
