About Additional Dental Care at Martindale Smiles
At Martindale Smiles, we believe a truly healthy smile reflects overall well-being. That is why we offer additional dental services that go beyond routine care. Whether you feel anxious about dental visits and would like a more relaxed experience, or you are dealing with jaw pain and headaches from a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), our team has the experience and technology to help you find comfort and relief.
We understand that not every dental visit is straightforward. Some patients need extra support to feel at ease in the dental chair, while others live with ongoing jaw problems that affect eating, sleeping and daily life. We approach every patient with empathy, take the time to explain each option and design care around your needs.
Our Additional Dental Care Services
Our two additional services focus on comfort and relief. Select a service to read the full details.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry provides comfortable dental care for patients who experience dental anxiety or need lengthy procedures. Using sedation options chosen for your needs and medical history, we help you relax so you can receive the care you need without fear. It is a helpful choice for anyone who has been avoiding the dentist.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ treatment focuses on diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint disorders, including jaw pain, clicking and headaches. We look for the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommend a plan that may include custom-fitted appliances and other therapies to relieve pressure on the jaw. The aim is lasting comfort, not a temporary fix.
