Are putting crowns on my teeth a way to treat TMJ, or is it a waste of money? \u2013 Thanks. Max from Fort Lauderdale<\/p>\n<p>Max,<\/p>\n<p>Treating TMJ disorder is common and acceptable by using dental crowns to rebuild your bite and change how your teeth come together. Sometimes, a full-mouth reconstruction involving crowning all the teeth is recommended. \u00a0Sometimes, a dentist may recommend full-mouth reconstruction or dental crowns on all teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Although people may use the term &#8220;TMJ specialist,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-tmj-specialist.html\">TMJ treatment is not a recognized dental specialty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What Kind of Training Does a Dentist Need for Complex TMJ Cases?<\/h2>\n<p>Comprehensive TMJ treatment often requires advanced training beyond standard dental school education. Because jaw movements are intricate, this typically involves post-graduate training in complex restorative dentistry.<\/p>\n<p>Dentists seeking advanced training in TMJ treatment often attend renowned institutions such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Piper Education and Research Center<\/li>\n<li>Spear Education<\/li>\n<li>The Dawson Academy<\/li>\n<li>The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies<\/li>\n<li>The Pankey Institute<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Completing the entire curriculum from one of these institutes helps a dentist achieve optimal expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Based on your description, your current dentist may understand TMJ treatment well. The effectiveness of your mouthguard suggests that your current treatment plan is showing positive results.<\/p>\n<p>It may be beneficial to discuss your treatment plan with your dentist, including any specific training they have received in TMJ treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Metairie cosmetic dentist Dr. Duane Delaune sponsors this post.
