Stop Living with Head, Jaw, and Facial Pain

If you suffer from chronic headaches, jaw clicking, or facial tension, you aren’t just “dealing with stress.” You may have a treatable orofacial condition. Dr. Hugh Hawkins provides advanced, minimally invasive solutions right here in Littleton to help you regain your quality of life. Much like our approach to minimally invasive surgery, our TMJ treatments are designed to address the source of your discomfort with as little disruption to your daily life as possible.

Our Specialized TMJ Treatments

PhotoBioModulation (PBM Therapy)

Best for: Immediate, non-invasive relief.

PBM Therapy uses targeted light energy to reduce inflammation and stimulate cellular repair in affected tissues. It is a fast, painless way to get temporary relief from acute head, facial, and jaw pain, and is an excellent starting point for patients seeking a gentle, drug-free option.

Botox and Trigger Point Injections

Best for: Medium-term relief (3 to 4 months).

By injecting therapeutic Botox or localized treatments into overactive trigger point muscles, we can physically relax the tension that causes chronic migraines and TMJ discomfort. This targeted approach calms the muscles responsible for clenching and grinding without affecting your ability to speak, chew, or smile naturally.

TMJ PRF Injections

Best for: Long-term jaw joint health (2 or more years).

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) uses your body’s own natural growth factors to heal the jaw joint from within. Similar to the PRF techniques we use in our surgical and implant procedures, this advanced treatment is highly effective at reducing joint noise such as clicking and popping, as well as significant jaw pain. For patients looking for a durable, long-lasting solution, TMJ PRF injections represent one of the most powerful tools available today.

Comprehensive Diagnostic and Support Services

We don’t just treat the symptoms. We find the source. Every TMJ treatment plan at Dr. Hugh’s Dental begins with a thorough evaluation so we can understand exactly what is driving your pain and discomfort.

Advanced Imaging: Precise jaw joint imaging gives us a detailed look at what is happening inside the joint, allowing us to build a treatment plan based on your unique anatomy rather than guesswork.

Custom Dental Splints: Tailored oral appliances protect your teeth from grinding and help stabilize your bite, reducing the strain placed on your jaw joints throughout the day and night.

Educational Self-Help Programs: We equip you with tools and techniques you can use at home to manage tension, support your healing, and help prevent future flare-ups between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ and Botox Therapy

How do I know if my jaw pain is related to TMJ disorder?

Common signs of TMJ disorder include jaw clicking or popping, difficulty opening or closing your mouth fully, chronic headaches or migraines, facial soreness or tension, and pain around the ears or temples. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hugh so we can determine whether a TMJ-related condition is contributing to your discomfort.

Is Botox for TMJ different from cosmetic Botox?

Yes. While the same FDA-approved Botulinum Toxin is used, the application is therapeutic rather than cosmetic. Our injections are placed precisely into the muscles responsible for jaw clenching and tension, with the goal of reducing pain and dysfunction rather than changing your appearance.

How soon will I feel relief after a Botox or PRF treatment?

Most patients who receive Botox or trigger point injections report noticeable improvement within a few days, with full results typically developing over two to four weeks. PRF injections work over a longer timeline as your body’s natural growth factors stimulate healing in the joint, with improvements continuing over several months.

Can TMJ therapy be combined with other dental treatments?

Absolutely. Many of our patients benefit from combining TMJ therapy with restorative or wellness care. Our team will evaluate your overall oral health and coordinate any additional treatments needed to give you the best possible outcome.

Do you offer sedation for TMJ injections or procedures?

For patients who experience anxiety around any dental procedure, we are happy to discuss your comfort options. Learn more about our sedation dentistry services to find out what may be appropriate for your visit.
