You aren’t alone if you are dealing with a TMJ disorder. It impacts over 10 million Americans. There are various reasons for your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) to become inflamed. Injury, arthritis, or a teeth grinding habit can cause these small joints to become dysfunctional. Whatever the cause of your disorder, Dr. Kim offers long-lasting relief that gets you out of pain.
We’ll begin with a complete exam and digital X-rays of your mouth. Many patients benefit the most from a custom bite guard. This TMJ mouthguard acts as a cushion between your teeth. We offer one you can wear while you sleep or during the day. You can expect many unique benefits:
If alignment issues are causing the problem, we may also recommend orthodontics. Crooked or misaligned teeth can often lead to jaw dysfunction. Dr. Kim will explore your options and determine which one is right for you.

I have been going to Dalton Dental Care for about 2 years and I can honestly say I love it! Staff is very welcoming and professional! Emily, the dental hygienist is amazing and always willing to answer all my questions. Definitely recommend it!
All the staff here are amazing and so friendly. They always make you feel welcomed. Definitely recommend this amazing Dentist Office.
I have been a patient here for years. The staff is very professional and make sure you’re taken care of. I always appreciate that when I make an appointment, they are always on time and I don’t have to wait. It’s good to know they value my time.
A great group of people. They really care about their patients and do great work.
They are so great! Very gentle.
I have been a patient for over 30 years. Dr. Kim and the ladies are truly wonderful. You can tell they enjoy their jobs and each other, in my opinion no other dentist office can compete. When Dr. Schleier retired and Dr. Kim took over it was one the smoothest transitions ever. Major kudos and many thanks to everyone for being so amazing!!
My family has been coming here for years and they have always taken great care of us. Everyone there is kind and compassionate. The staff are professional and accommodating. I am thankful for all that they do to make our visits enjoyable.
Let me start by saying Dr. Kim and his staff are awesome. My dentist retired and I tried the corporate places and those are not for me. I needed some emergency work done. I called , they gave their first available appointment, got me in and taken care super fast. The attention and care I was shown and given today made me a customer for life. Highly recommend 10 out of 10.
Excellent staff! Always helpful!
I’ve been going to Dalton Dental since the mid 2000’s and they are fantastic. The staff is kind, personable and they make you feel comfortable from basic cleanings to getting broken molars capped. Let’s face it, that’s no easy task! I took my daughter there for her very first cleaning years ago and now, as a teen, she still loves dental appointments. Another seemingly impossible task! When Dr Schleier retired and Dr Kim came on board, nothing else changed and they are all still a happy work-family. It is a huge plus to be taken care of by nice people who actually like their job.
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.
It’s possible, yes. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to pain in the surrounding muscles of the head and neck, which can be misinterpreted as migraines. By wearing a mouthguard, you can alleviate the pain caused by TMJ inflammation and potentially experience relief from headaches.
