At North Shore Dental Group, we're proud to offer specialized care for patients suffering from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, also known as TMD. Led by Dr. Luma Naim, recently certified in TMJ/TMD therapy, we provide personalized, non-invasive solutions to help relieve jaw pain, headaches, and facial tension — so you can get back to living comfortably.
TMD refers to disorders affecting the temporomandibular joints — the hinges attaching your jaw to your skull. These joints are responsible for essential movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When they become inflamed or misaligned, it can lead to chronic symptoms such as:
◉ Jaw pain or soreness
◉ Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
◉ Frequent headaches or migraines
◉ Earaches or ringing in the ears
◉ Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth fully
Dr. Naim combines her dental expertise with the latest training in TMJ/TMD treatment to identify the core reason for your pain and discomfort and then design a customized treatment plan. Whether your symptoms stem from bite misalignment, stress-related grinding (bruxism), or joint dysfunction, she'll guide you toward relief using advanced diagnostics and therapy techniques.
Dr. Luma established her practice in 2008; only 2 years after starting to practice dentistry in 2006. Dr. Luma Naim specializes in beautifying smiles, maintaining dental health, and helping you improve your appearance. Our experienced and friendly staff takes great pride in keeping your teeth healthy and your smile beautiful. We promise you that the veneers, fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures will look as good as or better than the teeth nature gave you. And to make sure we keep that promise, the products we recommend and use are of the highest quality and incredibly durable. You can trust your smile with us.
