How we Help Manage TMDsOur Management Philosophy
Our Ethos
- To treat TMD conservatively with evidence base
- To avoid “overtreating”
- To Listen
- To be up to date with current research
- To tailor the treatment to the patient – not a ‘one size fits all’ model
We believe that conservative care (reversible, non-surgical) should be the first line therapy for patients suffering with Temporomandibular disorders.
With this approach, we can help 80% of TMD sufferers.
We first examine and assess for the following (see image below):

After a thorough assessment and diagnosis, we provide the following services:
