Real Patients, Real Relief
Real Relief for Jaw Pain, Clicking, and Tension Headaches
A Thorough, Personalized Evaluation
Every TMJ and TMD treatment plan starts with a full evaluation of your jaw movement, bite alignment, stress levels, sleep habits, and nutrition. That thoroughness matters, because jaw pain often has more than one contributing factor, and understanding all of them from the start means your plan is built around you specifically.
Dr. Asthana takes the time upfront so your care feels right from day one.
Advanced, Evidence-Based Training
Dr. Asthana trains through the BAARD Institute and Pankey Essentials and is working toward her AGD Fellowship, with digital iTero scanning built into her bite analysis. That means your appliance or treatment plan is grounded in established, evidence-backed technique.
Comfortable Care, On Your Terms
You'll get clear, honest explanations at every step, with no pressure, so you always know what to expect. Custom-fitted appliances and digital impressions keep treatment precise and comfortable, so you feel supported from your very first visit.
Why Jaw Health Deserves Real Attention
Your jaw plays a part in so much of your day, from eating and talking to sleeping soundly. When it's out of balance, that can ripple into parts of your life you might not expect. The good news is that bringing your bite and jaw back into balance often brings noticeable relief in ways patients don't always anticipate:
Every case is different, and symptoms can show up gradually, which is exactly why an evaluation is worth having sooner rather than later. Dr. Asthana takes the time to genuinely understand what's going on with your bite and jaw, so the plan she builds with you brings relief that lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes TMJ disorders?
TMJ dysfunction can come from a combination of clenching, grinding, bite imbalances, stress, arthritis, or a jaw injury. A thorough evaluation helps us pinpoint your specific cause, so we can build the right plan for you.
What's the difference between TMJ and TMD?
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint itself, the joint connecting your jaw to your skull. TMD (temporomandibular disorder) refers to the pain or dysfunction affecting that joint. In everyday conversation, most people use "TMJ" to mean both, and our team does too.
Can TMJ problems be prevented?
Early care, managing stress, and addressing bite imbalances proactively can all help prevent TMJ issues from getting worse.
What makes Bloom Dentistry different?
Dr. Asthana combines advanced training, modern digital tools, and local care rooted in compassion. She takes the time to get to know you, and it shows in the quality of your results.
How much does TMJ treatment cost?
Costs vary depending on your treatment plan. We provide transparent pricing and flexible financing options to help make care accessible.
Are TMJ and TMD treatments effective?
Yes. Many patients see significant improvement with consistent appliance use and occlusal adjustments.
When should I seek TMJ treatment?
If you're experiencing jaw pain, clicking, headaches, or trouble chewing, it's time for a professional evaluation.
Are TMJ appliances painful to wear?
Not at all. Our appliances are custom-fitted with your comfort in mind and designed specifically to relieve pressure on your jaw joint.
Is a night guard the same as a TMJ appliance?
Not quite. A night guard mainly protects your teeth from grinding. A TMJ appliance is calibrated to help guide your jaw into a healthier, more relaxed position.
How long does TMJ treatment take?
Some patients feel relief within weeks, especially with consistent use of oral appliances. Others benefit from ongoing bite care or lifestyle adjustments over a longer period.
Will my insurance cover TMJ care?
Coverage varies by plan. We'll review your benefits with you and discuss flexible financing options if you need them.
