Jaw pain, frequent headaches, clicking or popping when you chew — these can all be signs of TMJ dysfunction, a condition that affects the complex system of your jaw joints, muscles, and bite. At Hampton Park Dentistry, Dr. Serra takes a unique, highly trained approach to treating TMJ issues, focusing not just on relieving symptoms, but on addressing the underlying cause.
Advanced Training You Can Trust
Dr. Serra has trained extensively at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), one of the world’s leading centers for neuromuscular and cosmetic dentistry. LVI emphasizes the importance of neuromuscular dentistry — understanding how your teeth, jaw joints, and muscles all work together as one system.
This advanced perspective means Dr. Serra doesn’t simply mask TMJ symptoms. Instead, he works to restore proper balance and harmony between the bite and jaw, bringing long-term comfort and function back to your smile.
