Great family dentist…Our family is very happy with the care and value we receive. My 5-year old son feels very comfortable which says a lot about the quality of care. I was recently seen for an emergency procedure during the height of the Pandemic and was able to quickly communicate with the doctor and receive an appointment immediately. The office staff is superb and overall, highly recommend.

Reclaim Your Life With Our TMJ Therapy
If your temporomandibular joints (TMJs for short) are functioning properly, you probably don’t think much about them; you just live your life like normal. However, if these jaw joints located on either side of your head are inflamed and irritated, you can experience a significant level of pain. Researchers don’t fully understand the causes of TMJ dysfunction, but we do know that teeth grinding is both a contributor to and a symptom of TMJ problems.
When your TMJs are irritated, it can be painful to eat, talk, laugh, or yawn. In short, your everyday life can be misery. If you’re in that situation, our team wants to help you enjoy a better quality of life. We’ll examine your jaw, check its functioning, take digital X-rays, and create a treatment plan for you.
In many cases, a TMJ appliance will help eliminate your pain. This noninvasive approach lets you avoid surgery or other more extensive treatments. We can have a custom mouthguard made for you that will:
- Rest comfortably in your mouth while you sleep
- Gently move your lower jaw forward
- Ease tension on your TMJs so they can begin to heal
- Reduce or entirely eliminate your jaw pain
- Get rid of tension in your face, neck, and shoulders
A TMJ appliance has an added benefit of stopping teeth grinding (bruxism). Many people grind their teeth without any awareness of it. Bruxism can damage your tooth enamel to the point that restorative dentistry is required to repair the damage. A professionally made mouthguard can prevent bruxism and protect your smile.
Not only will your TMJ pain not be aggravated by teeth grinding, you may also experience fewer and less intense headaches. Teeth grinding is a major cause of migraine and tension headaches. So by eliminating grinding, you will most likely reduce your headaches as well.

Took me a long time to find a great dentist! The entire staff is awesome, helpful, and attentive. Even my 7 year old son loves going in for his check ups and visits! I cant say enough good things. Highly recommend.
New Patient Here, this was the best most friendly place I have been. Everyone was very caring, and made sure I was comfortable and understood everything. While I don’t mind the dentist, I could tell they focused on making sure their office was a comfortable space for people who have had issues with dentists office.
I got started with an emergency on the weekend and I got fantastic care! I highly recommend, great dentists and super attentive to the long term effects as well as patient comfort!
I highly recommend this. The staff is very courteous. The dentist is very knowledgeable and very helpful. Had to bring my wife in on a Saturday.
I Love this dentist office and all the people in it. Everyone is so nice and my hygienist was always so sweet and gentle. I get so nervous going to the dentist and this was the first place I felt comfortable going to repeatedly. They never push anything on you that you don’t need and I always left there with beautiful clean teeth. The Dentist always made sure I wasn’t in any pain and comfortable and happy with my teeth. I never had any issues here.
I’ve been going to Dr. Jackman for quite a few years now and all I can say is the care provided is outstanding! Dr. Jackman is very gentle and his “chair side” manners are superb. He let’s you know what he’s doing and gives the best advise. The hygienist team is also wonderful, teeth cleaning appointments can be fun! The girls at the front desk are all so sweet! I look forward to these visits!
The staff are professional and courteous with an attention to detail and great customer service. Dr Jackman is amazing! He even makes a personal follow up call after a procedure! I highly recommend him as well as the hygienists who work there.
Outstanding service Dr. Jackman and his staff are all you can ask for in a dental office . They are all professional and friendly.
Dr Jackman and his staff are great! I mean really great work with compassion, honesty and precision, I highly recommend their dental services.
The key to relieving TMJ pain is easing pressure on your jaw. To do that, we can make you an appliance that gently moves your jaw into a position that keeps pressure off your jaw. The appliance also keeps you from clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth, two behaviors that trigger TMJ pain.
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, or we can arrange in-office financing.
