TMJ disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding) can cause jaw pain, headaches, and long-term tooth damage if left untreated. Dr. Russell Kelly diagnoses the cause and builds a treatment plan around it, from custom splints to masseter Botox, so you get relief, not just a mouthguard.
Not always. Bruxism can happen on its own, but the two conditions often overlap, which is why Dr. Kelly evaluates both together.
Effects typically last three to four months, after which treatment can be repeated as needed.
A night guard protects your teeth, but it doesn’t address the underlying muscle or joint cause the way a full treatment plan can.
Newport Dental Arts has maintained a 4.9-star rating across 175 verified Google reviews. Dr. Kelly treats the root cause of TMJ and bruxism, not just the symptoms, using both dental and muscle-relaxation approaches.
