Facial Pain Management

Are headaches an unwelcome part of your life?

The cause may be a misalignment of your bite or TMJ Disorder also referred to as TMJ. Dr. Konz is among an elite group of dentists who are experts in facial pain management.

Dr. Konz has the knowledge and experience to relieve your pain

Facial pain results when there is an imbalance between your facial muscles, teeth and gums. It often starts with misalignment of your teeth, which leaves you with the painful symptoms of TMJ. Effective treatment of TMJ requires a delicate balance of your facial mechanics.

Dr. Konz has extensive training in the relationship between facial muscles, tooth position and occlusion (how your upper and lower teeth meet). During a scheduled consultation Dr. Konz will examine your facial muscles, teeth and gums to identify the root cause of your pain. There are a number of treatment options available and Dr. Konz will work with you to find your best solution.
