Pain management at Comfy Dental Studios is a highly personalized, holistic experience based on a more natural way to combat inflammation and discomfort as opposed to pharmaceuticals. We treat a variety of pain-based conditions that can negatively impact your quality of life, including TMJ, tension headaches, migraines, jaw clenching, and more.
Using the latest techniques and technology, as well as alternative healing modalities like acupuncture, we can help you achieve lower pain levels without a prescription. In fact, many of our patients specifically reach out to us for pain management to avoid these medications or simply because everything else they’ve tried hasn’t worked.
Are you dealing with chronic facial pain and discomfort? Here’s a bit more about what we do here to keep our patients comfortable and on the most steadfast path to healing:
Botox for pain relief
Botox is a highly effective therapeutic option for patients who struggle with chronic facial tension, migraines, and TMJ-related pain. When injected into overactive muscles of the jaw, temples, or forehead, Botox relaxes them, reducing the clenching and tension that drive pain. This helps minimize headaches, jaw soreness, and the inflammation caused by habitual grinding or stress.
We recommend Botox for patients whose facial pain symptoms, like migraines, haven’t improved with traditional therapies or who want relief without medication. Treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and the results usually last several months. Most patients experience a noticeable improvement in pain, range of motion, and overall quality of life.
Dental Acupuncture
Dental acupuncture is a holistic approach to relieving facial, jaw, and dental-related pain that stimulates specific points on the body. Using extremely fine, sterile needles, the dentist activates nerves and muscles that influence relaxation, blood flow, and the body’s natural healing response.
This targeted acupuncture technique helps reduce inflammation, muscle tightness, and stress-driven symptoms, making it effective for patients with
- TMJ disorders
- Tension headaches
- Anxiety during dental care
- Chronic facial pain
Dental acupuncture is especially helpful for people who want a non-pharmaceutical treatment, and many patients find the experience calming and restorative, with relief that accumulates over a series of sessions.
EmFace Treatment
EmFace is a non-invasive treatment that uses synchronized radiofrequency and muscle stimulation to reduce facial tension and improve muscle balance. It can significantly relieve TMJ-related pain by strengthening weakened muscles while simultaneously relaxing overactive ones.
Radiofrequency warms deep tissue to improve circulation and ease tightness, while the electrical stimulation retrains your facial muscles to work more harmoniously. We recommend EmFace as an excellent treatment option for patients with:
- Jaw fatigue
- Clenching
- Headaches
- Asymmetry caused by chronic stress on the facial muscles.
Nightguard for TMJ & Chronic Pain
Our customized dental nightguards are a simple way to significantly reduce pain caused by teeth grinding, clenching, and TMJ dysfunction. Made to fit your bite precisely, the nightguard creates a protective barrier that prevents enamel wear and tear and also repositions the jaw to reduce muscle strain. Over time, this reduces morning soreness, headaches, facial tension, and joint inflammation.
Because the device is custom-made, our dentist-designed nightguards offer a level of comfort and durability that over-the-counter guards can’t match. With consistent use, nearly all patients report significant improvement in both pain levels and sleep health.
Professionally crafted nightguards are often recommended for patients who:
- Grind their teeth at night
- Wake up with jaw pain
- Experience chronic stress-related clenching
Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation therapy uses gentle, targeted light energy to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and soothe irritated tissues in the mouth, jaw, and face. Light penetrates deep into tissue, stimulating cellular repair and improving circulation. This makes it highly effective for patients experiencing TMJ pain, post-procedural soreness, chronic muscle fatigue, or slow-healing areas.
The treatment is completely non-invasive, painless, and quick, perfect for people who want drug-free relief or who are sensitive to pain medications. Most patients will notice improved pain levels shortly after treatment, along with faster tissue recovery. Photobiomodulation can be used on its own or combined with other therapies for a more comprehensive pain-management plan.
