If you suffer from any of the wide range of TMD symptoms, schedule an comprehensive TMJ exam with Dr. Maryam Motlagh.
As needed, we use advanced diagnostic modalities such as computerized jaw analysis, sonography, electromyography (EMG) or CT scans so we can evaluate your jaw function, muscle activity and TMJ health more thoroughly.
The TMJ treatment process is different for everyone. We start with a comprehensive exam to find the root cause of the problem and often address the issue with a multidisciplinary approach, bringing other specialists on board to decide the best treatment plan.
​
For the first 3 months we focus on non-invasive techniques to reprogram and relax the jaw muscles using functional oral appliances. Once the TMJ symptoms are alleviated, the patient has the option to use the appliances long term, transition into orthodontic treatment for long term stability or receive restorative treatment as needed.

Myoaligner Treatment Offers a Modern, Comfortable Way to Find Relief and Restore Balance to Your Mouth
Living with jaw pain, persistent headaches, or that annoying clicking sound can really wear you down. These are often signs that your jaw joint, or TMJ, is under stress. Myoaligner treatment is a really innovative approach to this problem. It's a comfortable, removable device made just for your mouth. You wear it for a specific amount of time each day, and it works by helping your overworked jaw muscles relax and settle into a healthier, more natural resting position. It restores harmony to your entire jaw and can have a big, positive impact on your overall health and confidence.
We Can Help You Achieve Your Personal Smile Goals
Every person who walks into our office has a unique vision for their smile. You might be bothered by a small chip on a front tooth, or maybe you wish your teeth were a few shades brighter. We listen to you. We'll sit down and talk about what you'd like to see, creating a plan that works for you and feels right. Your goals for your smile direct the entire process.
Getting a Brighter, Whiter Smile Is One of the Fastest Ways to Improve Your Confidence!
Over-the-counter whitening strips and pastes can only do so much. Professional tooth whitening, on the other hand, provides powerful, lasting results in a controlled and safe environment. We can lift years of stains from coffee, tea, or just life, revealing a brilliantly bright smile. This is a highly popular cosmetic dentistry service because it has a significant impact with a straightforward process, boosting your confidence almost instantly.
Tooth Whitening
This option provides the quickest and most dramatic results. In about an hour, you can walk out of our Portland office with a smile that is several shades lighter, perfect if you have an upcoming event.
We Use Modern Techniques Like Bonding and Veneers to Create a Beautiful, Natural-Looking Fix
A small flaw on a single tooth can sometimes feel like it's all you see in the mirror. You don't have to live with it. We have simple, effective ways to correct these issues so your smile looks whole and harmonious. We pay close attention to the color and shape of your existing teeth for a final look that is completely natural.
Dental Bonding
This is a fantastic, one-visit solution for minor chips, small gaps, or discoloration on a tooth. We apply a durable, tooth-colored resin directly to the tooth and sculpt it to perfection.
Porcelain Veneers
These are very thin shells of strong ceramic that we bond to the front of your teeth. Veneers are a great choice for correcting a range of issues at once, like stubborn discoloration, gaps, cracks, or a poorly shaped tooth.
The Difference Between Restorative and Cosmetic Work?
Restorative dentistry is all about health. It fixes problems like tooth decay with a filling or replaces a missing tooth with an implant. Cosmetic dentistry is focused on appearance. But often, the two overlap. A porcelain crown, for instance, restores the function of a broken tooth while also being designed to look beautiful and natural. We always consider the full picture, helping you make choices that support both your long-term health and your confidence.
The Health and Appearance of Your Gums Are a Huge Part of Your Smile
Your gums frame your teeth, and their shape and health play a significant role in your smile's overall appearance. If you feel like you show too much gum when you smile, we can help. A balanced gum line makes your teeth appear properly proportioned and contributes to a symmetrical, pleasing smile. Good oral hygiene is essential for maintaining healthy gums.
Laser Gum Contouring
For a smile that appears "gummy," we can use a soft-tissue laser to gently reshape the gum line. This simple procedure reveals more of your natural tooth, creating a more balanced and open smile. It's a quick process with very little discomfort.
