Doctor Dave Dorroh on TMJ Treatment-teeth Grinding
If patients come in in pain with their joint, we have the ability to make the splints for them. We can make them anything from a temporary splint to permanent temporomandibular joint splint. And we do that by taking models of their teeth, taking bite relationships and sending them off to the lab.
They send us back the splints. The patients come in, we make the delivery of the splint, adjust the splint, and then they wear it on a regular basis. And normally their problems resolve within a couple of weeks.

Feel Better With a Custom Oral Appliance
Dr. Dorroh has completed extensive postgraduate training, so he is well equipped to help you manage your jaw pain. He and our team are committed to helping you overcome TMJ disorders and regain comfort in your daily activities.
We offer comprehensive treatment tailored to your specific needs. Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation of your jaw function and joint alignment using digital X-rays and advanced imaging from a 3-D cone beam CT scanner. Based on this assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan centered around a custom TMJ appliance.
The appliance is a key component of our treatment strategy. We will fit you for a specially designed oral appliance that you wear to help reposition your jaw and alleviate pressure on the joint. This appliance is comfortable and custom-fitted to your mouth, allowing for reduced muscle tension. Your TMJ appliance will:
- Reduce pressure on your jaw joints
- Prevent teeth grinding and clenching
- Promote proper jaw alignment
- Allow overworked muscles to relax and heal
The appliance is typically worn at night, though some patients may benefit from daytime use as well. We will carefully adjust the appliance to ensure it fits comfortably and effectively addresses your TMJ issues. Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief from TMJ symptoms, improving your overall quality of life. Dr. Dorroh will closely monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to the appliance to ensure the best possible outcome.
Call us today at 713-999-0300 to schedule a consultation. You can also make an appointment online or talk to us about your symptoms at your next dental cleaning and exam. Dave K. Dorroh, DDS will help you achieve a pain-free, fully functional jaw through Tomball TMJ treatment.

Absolutely amazing. He listened to my concerns, understood what I was telling him, then saw for himself the angst I’d been through for the past 5 years. He then fixed it with just a slight adjustment. Prior told me I’d get used to it. I slept all night without interruption for the first time last night without being awakened by excruciating headache, neck or jaw pain.

Long story short. Had a dentist in Tomball tell me I needed to pull 2 front teeth and do implants because of failing root canals. Over 12,000.00 I was quoted. Decided to come see Dr. Dorroh for a second opinion. This dentist gave me hope and referred me to a root canal specialist who was able to save my teeth. Dr. Dorroh was compassionate and has an excellent bedside manner. His office staff is also very warm and compassionate. His office is also very clean and tidy. Highly recommend him for your dental needs.
A. M. (Verified Patient)
The entire staff genuinely cares about each patient’s well-being; from the check-in to the goodbyes. Dr. Dorroh makes you feel as if you are his only patient of the day. He will spend however much time is needed to perfect his dental work. The knowledge and wisdom that he has is not something you can get out of a book. Can I give more than 5 stars?
N. M. (Verified Patient)
Doctor Dorroh is an excellent dentist. My entire family sees him for dental care and we cannot say enough about he and his office staff’s expertise and professionalism. The most thorough dental care hands down. After 8 years of seeing the same dentist that wasn’t that great and who constantly wanted X-rays taken, I decided to switch my care over to Doctor Dorroh. Upon the very first visit, he discovered a rather serious and obvious issue that somehow my other dentist didn’t notice. To be honest, if it weren’t for Doctor Dorroh, this issue, if gone unchecked, would’ve had most certainly severely impacted my overall health. I don’t think folks realize the critical affect that oral health has on the rest of the body, certainly the cardiovascular system. So to anyone looking for the best of the best in dental care, myself and my family couldn’t speak more highly of Doctor Dorroh and his team!

TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal.
There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.
Signs of a TMJ disorder may include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth completely, facial pain, headaches, and ear pain or ringing. Some people may also experience neck and shoulder pain or toothaches unrelated to dental problems. Also, your jaw may feel locked or stuck. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to visit our practice for help.
You will likely begin to feel relief within a few days to a few weeks, depending on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Your custom TMJ appliance will gradually reduce strain on the jaw joint, allowing your muscles to relax and discomfort to lessen over time. Our team will work hand in hand with you to ensure you get the pain relief and improvement in your quality of life you need.
