I have been going to Briarwood Family Dentistry for years now. They have always treated me well. I have sensitive teeth issues and Nikki, my hygienist, always remembers and is very careful when cleaning those areas! Dr. Hanna is always cheerful and professional. I would recommend this office for all your dental needs.

Another great visit at Briarwood Valley Dentistry. Thanks Nikki for my awesome cleaning and Dr Hanna for my exam. I appreciate all the expense the office has taken on to keep the place clean and safe from infection.

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. Then 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.
Your insurance may pay for part of your TMJ treatment. We can help determine what your plan will and won’t cover and what your portion of the cost may be. Keep in mind that we offer financing options to help pay for your treatment. We work with CareCredit, which has low-interest payment plans.
