I’ve been coming here for my routine dental care, and every visit has been excellent. The dentist is thorough, gentle, and takes time to explain each step, which really puts me at ease. The dental hygienist is equally wonderful—professional, friendly, and very skilled at making cleanings comfortable while ensuring my teeth feel fresh and spotless. Special thanks and credit to Dr. Ashtana, Ms. Violeta, Whitney, Emmanuel and Kerstin. The clinic is clean, well-organized, and always runs on time, which I appreciate. From the moment I walk in, the staff greets me warmly and makes me feel welcome. I truly feel my dental health is in great hands here. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality care and a pleasant experience.

Its my daughter's 1st doctor appointment. Dr. Ashtana, Whitney and Violeta was very patient with her. They keep her informed on what is being done. Emmanuel was very helpful and provides best information. If your looking for a dental clinic, I highly recommend you visit them.

Took my 5 year old to the dentist for her usual cleaning. Dr. Saakshi was sooo awesome with her! She made her feel very comfortable and made her laugh. When they first called us back to the room Emmanuel immediately asked her what she would like to watch, sounds simple, but at her age comfort is everything and I’ve been to other dental offices that don’t put something on to distract her from nerves. He was friendly, and helpful. Whitney was a hoot, she joked with my daughter and made taking X-rays fun! My daughter loved the little coin machine with prizes at the end. It’s makes a dental visit so fun for kids which is great and easier on the parents.

“A trusted dental home for our whole family. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Hussain for 7–8 years, and now my children are too. Every visit feels welcoming and personal. Dr. Sasha recently completed a filling, and the care, attention to detail, and clear explanations made it another great experience. If you’re looking for a dental practice that feels like family and delivers top-notch care, I highly recommend Dr. Hussain, Dr. Sasha, and their entire team.”

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:

Eating with more ease. Foods you've been easing off of, anything that takes a bit more chewing, can feel comfortable again.
Speaking without fatigue. Long conversations and full workdays feel easier on a jaw that isn't working overtime.
Sleeping more soundly. Addressing clenching and grinding can mean waking up feeling more rested, without that familiar morning tightness.
Thinking clearly. Fewer tension headaches means fewer distractions pulling your focus away from your day.
Protecting your smile for years to come. A balanced bite helps your teeth wear evenly over time.


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.

Signs You May Benefit From TMJ or TMD Care

TMJ and TMD symptoms look a little different for everyone, and there's no single "right" way to notice them. Here are some of the patterns patients most often bring to us:

Morning tightness. Waking up with jaw or temple soreness, which can be connected to nighttime clenching or grinding.
Clicking or popping. Sounds you notice when you chew, open wide, or move your jaw side to side.
Limited movement. A jaw that feels harder to open wide, or one that catches briefly during certain movements.
Frequent tension headaches. Especially ones centered around your temples or the sides of your head.
Changes in your bite. Noticing your teeth wear unevenly, or that your bite feels a little different than it used to.
Nighttime grinding or clenching. Sometimes noticed by a partner, or simply by how your jaw feels first thing in the morning.

Not sure if what you're feeling is related to your TMJ? That's completely okay, and more common than you'd think. Our job is simply to listen and help you figure it out together.

Our TMJ & TMD Treatment Options

Here's a closer look at how we help bring your bite and jaw back into balance, so you can find the option that fits you best.

Custom Oral Appliances

Custom-fit appliances gently guide your jaw into a more balanced, relaxed position while you sleep. Because each one is designed around your bite specifically, you can expect:

●
Relief from pressure on the jaw joint, thanks to a more neutral bite position overnight
●
Less inflammation around the joint as your jaw settles into better alignment
●
Genuine, ongoing comfort that builds over time
●
The confidence of an appliance built on Dr. Asthana's training at the BAARD Institute and Pankey Institute, so it's designed to fit and feel right

Night Guards for Bruxism

If grinding or clenching is part of what's going on, a custom night guard is a simple, comfortable way to protect your smile while your care plan addresses the bigger picture:

●
Helps protect your smile from the effects of grinding over time
●
Eases strain on your jaw joint overnight, so you can wake up feeling more comfortable
●
Fits precisely and comfortably, thanks to digital iTero scanning

Occlusal Equilibration

When your bite is out of balance, your jaw muscles can end up working harder than they need to. Occlusal equilibration gently corrects that balance with a conservative, precise approach:

●
Uses small, careful adjustments to fine-tune your bite
●
Helps distribute pressure evenly across your teeth and jaw joints
●
Supports lasting comfort for your jaw for years to come

Your TMJ Evaluation, Step by Step

1

A Relaxed Conversation First

Your visit starts with an unrushed conversation. Dr. Asthana takes the time to hear:
●
What your symptoms actually feel like, and when they tend to show up
●
What your daily routine looks like, including stress, sleep, and habits like grinding or clenching
●
What you're hoping treatment will change for you
2

A Detailed Jaw and Bite Evaluation

Next comes a full evaluation designed to find the real cause of your symptoms:
●
Jaw movement and muscle assessment
●
Bite analysis using iTero digital scanning
●
Intraoral imaging and visual evaluation
●
Review of lifestyle factors that could be contributing to your symptoms, from stress to sleep habits
3

A Plan Built Around You

From there, Dr. Asthana walks you through your options clearly and answers your questions before anything moves forward. Your plan is built around:
●
Your specific symptoms and evaluation results
●
Your lifestyle and daily routine, so the treatment actually fits your life
●
Your comfort level, with no pressure to decide on the spot

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.
