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
Our team is 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, including advanced imaging to assess joint alignment and function. 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. We 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.

I broke a tooth a few days ago. The dentist I used in the past had moved and I had not yet found a new one. I called Dr Dorroh’s office and due to the urgency they got me in right away, even though I was a new patient. Dr Dorroh and all of the staff I interacted with while there were very kind and friendly. I highly recommend Dr Dorroh’ s dentist practice. You will be in good hands.

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.
