TMJ Disorders: Understanding the Jaw Joint

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is essential for everyday functions like speaking, chewing, and smiling. However, when this joint isn’t working properly, it can lead to significant pain and discomfort. At Lynden Hills Dentistry, we focus on diagnosing the exact cause of your TMJ issues, whether from injury, arthritis, or muscle strain, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to you.

Sleep Apnea: Restoring Your Peaceful Sleep

We offer comprehensive treatments for both obstructive and central sleep apnea, designed to restore restful sleep and improve your health.
