I just finished getting a permanent lower denture after a 20 year journey. I received a lower denture 10 years ago but it had problems. I was referred to CWD about a year ago. Dr. Paul and crew have been great. I have a 4 hour drive each time I come to Chesterfield and the have been very considerate of my time. Technology has morphed in the last 20 years and Dr. Paul is on it.

Highly recommend! Dr. Edgerley was thorough, gentle, kind, and professional. As someone who was very nervous about having extensive work performed, I could not be happier with how my crowns and veneers look and all of it was PAINLESS. Everyone from the front desk, hygienists, and assistants were all very kind and helpful. Thank you so much for giving me back my smile!

Absolutely fabulous experience with this group! Everyone was so nice during the whole process. I had a lower retainer come unglued and called the next morning. They set me up with an appointment the same day and got me squared away quickly! I set up an appointment for next month for a cleaning and I’m looking forward to it! Thank you!!!

Dr. Paul Edgerley is fantastic! If you're looking for a great dental office, look no further than Chesterfield Woodlake Dental! I've been dealing with TMJ pain and some serious teeth grinding at night; Dr. Edgerley discussed all options with me, and we decided on a bite guard that would best meet my needs. It fits so well, and it's the best one I've ever had. Highly recommend!

Comphrensive TMJ Treatment

Welcome to Chesterfield Woodlake Dental & Prosthodontics! We are proud to offer top-of-the-line dental services to our patients, including advanced treatments for TMJ disorders. TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, affects millions of people worldwide and can cause severe pain and discomfort. It's essential to address the symptoms of TMJ promptly to avoid further damage to the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.

If you are experiencing symptoms of TMJ, please contact us at Chesterfield Woodlake Dental & Prosthodontics to schedule a consultation.

What is TMJ?

TMJ is a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, neck pain, and earaches. TMJ can result from a variety of factors, including stress, injury to the jaw, teeth grinding, or misaligned teeth.

How is TMJ Treated?

At Chesterfield Woodlake Dental & Prosthodontics, we offer various treatments for TMJ, depending on the severity of your condition. One of the most common treatments is a mouthguard, which can be worn at night to prevent teeth grinding and clenching, reducing stress on the jaw joint. We also offer orthodontic treatments to correct misaligned teeth, which can alleviate TMJ symptoms. In more severe cases, we may recommend medication or surgery.

The Benefits of Treating Your TMJ

The benefits of TMJ treatment are numerous. By addressing the underlying cause of TMJ, we can alleviate pain and discomfort, improve jaw function, and prevent further damage to the jaw joint. TMJ treatment can also help improve your overall oral health, reducing your risk of developing other dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss.
