Relieve Jaw Pain. Restore Comfort & Function.
If you’re experiencing jaw pain, tension headaches, facial soreness, or clicking and popping when you chew, you may be dealing with a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD). At Studio Blu Dental in Highland, NY, Dr. Chuan Wang provides personalized, conservative TMJ treatment designed to relieve discomfort, reduce joint strain, and restore smooth, pain-free jaw movement.
Our approach is thoughtful and comprehensive—we take the time to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and design treatment that fits your lifestyle, oral health, and long-term wellness goals.
We proudly serve patients throughout Ulster County and the Hudson Valley, including Highland, Marlboro, New Paltz, Poughkeepsie, Kingston, and surrounding communities.

Understanding TMJ Disorder (TMD)
The temporomandibular joint connects your lower jaw to your skull, allowing you to speak, chew, and move your jaw comfortably. When this joint becomes inflamed, misaligned, or overworked, it can lead to TMJ disorder.
Common symptoms include:
- Jaw pain, stiffness, or soreness
- Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Ear pain, pressure, or ringing (tinnitus)
- Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth fully
- Facial tenderness or swelling
Many patients with TMJ also grind or clench their teeth—often at night—a condition known as bruxism. TMJ treatment frequently addresses these issues together to provide lasting relief.
Personalized, Comfort-focused TMJ Care
At Studio Blu Dental, TMJ treatment reflects our overall philosophy: precise dentistry delivered in a calm, supportive environment. We listen carefully, explain your options clearly, and guide you toward solutions that address the root cause—not just the symptoms.
By treating TMJ from multiple angles, we help patients restore comfort, improve jaw function, and protect their long-term oral health.
TMJ Treatment Options at Studio Blu Dental
Consistent cleanings and exams help you stay proactive—not reactive—about your dental health. With routine visits, we can:
Custom Nightguards & Occlusal Splints
Custom oral appliances help reposition the jaw, reduce pressure on the joint, and protect teeth from grinding. These are often worn at night to minimize bruxism-related damage and muscle tension.
Bite Evaluation & Adjustment
In some cases, subtle adjustments to how your teeth meet can improve balance between the jaw muscles and joints, reducing strain and discomfort.
Lifestyle & At-Home Support
Jaw exercises, posture guidance, stress-management strategies, and habit awareness can significantly reduce flare-ups and support long-term improvement.
Our focus is always on conservative, effective care — helping you feel better without unnecessary or aggressive treatments.
