TMJ / TMD Treatment
Peace for Your Jaw. Power for Your Smile.
Is TMJ/TMD pain holding you back?
Living with TMJ disorder means more than just dealing with physical pain. It’s the constant worry about when the next flare-up will strike, the frustration of explaining your discomfort to friends and family who can’t see what you’re experiencing, and the exhaustion that comes from poor sleep quality. Montana’s wonderful active lifestyle, from hiking the Beartooth Mountains to skiing at Red Lodge; shouldn’t be something you have to avoid because of jaw pain.
At Shumway Family Dentistry, we understand how TMJ and TMD symptoms affect every part of your life. As your trusted Dentist, we take time to listen, evaluate the root cause of your discomfort, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and your budget. You don’t have to live with chronic jaw pain anymore. Call us today at (406) 248-7500 to start your journey toward lasting relief.


TMJ Care for Chronic Discomfort
TMJ disorders can feel isolating, especially when others don’t understand the constant discomfort you’re managing. We’ve worked with countless patients who came to us frustrated, tired, and unsure where to turn. Our approach is built on compassion and clarity, no judgment, no rushing, just honest conversation about what’s causing your pain and how we can help.
If you’ve been dealing with TMJ symptoms for months or even years, you might feel like you’ve tried everything, from over-the-counter pain relievers that barely take the edge off to internet remedies that promise miracles but deliver disappointment. You deserve better than temporary fixes and guesswork. At Shumway Family Dentistry, we’ve helped hundreds of Billings residents find real solutions, and we’re ready to do the same for you.
TMD Evaluation & Treatment Plan
Effective TMJ treatment starts with a thorough evaluation. We assess your jaw movement, bite alignment, and any contributing factors like bruxism or previous dental work. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the source of your symptoms, ensuring we’re treating the problem; not just masking the pain.
As a member of the Academy of General Dentistry and committed to ongoing education, our practice stays current with the latest TMD treatment techniques. We may recommend therapies ranging from custom oral appliances and night guards & sports mouthguards to bite adjustments or physical therapy referrals. Every plan is tailored to your unique situation, because we know one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work for something as personal as chronic pain.


Sleep Better and Smile Pain-Free Again
Imagine waking up refreshed, without tension radiating through your jaw or temples. Picture enjoying meals without wincing or constantly adjusting how you chew. That’s the outcome we’re working toward together. Successful TMJ treatment doesn’t just reduce pain; it restores quality of life.
Many of our patients report dramatic improvements in sleep quality once their jaw tension is addressed. If your TMD symptoms overlap with snoring or breathing issues during sleep, we can also explore sleep apnea & snoring dental appliances as part of a comprehensive approach. You deserve to feel like yourself again, and we’re here to help you get there.
