Find Relief from Jaw Pain

At Island Smiles Dental Care in Kahului, our TMJ specialists provide expert care for patients suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Using advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans, we help alleviate jaw pain, discomfort, and related symptoms so you can enjoy life without constant tension or headaches.

What is a
TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes misaligned or inflamed, it can lead to pain, difficulty chewing, and clicking or locking of the jaw. TMJ disorders can be caused by teeth grinding, jaw injuries, arthritis, or stress. At Island Smiles Dental Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders, providing relief from discomfort and restoring normal function to your jaw.

Signs You May
Have TMJ Disorder

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it might be time to seek care from a TMJ specialist:

  • Persistent jaw pain or tenderness.
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds in the jaw.
  • Difficulty or discomfort when chewing.
  • Locking of the jaw joint.
  • Frequent headaches or migraines.

    Best Dentist on Maui

    Highest regard to the level of service and skill at this practice. My dental hygienist was the most tactful and comprehensive I have experienced since leaving my holistic hygienist on Oahu. Finding this level of care here in Maui is such a comfort. Mahalo for making me feel comfortable and cared for.

    I had 2 caps replaced today. I was able to get an appointment right away. I like Dr. Brooks. He was very good about letting me know what to expect during the procedure and kept me informed about what he was doing before he transitioned to each part of the procedure. It helped decrease any anxiety. His technician, Casey was so sweet and caring. All the way to the ladies running the front desk, I felt very comfortable and confident with my care. Thank you, Island Smiles Dental Care! 😁

    My sisters referred me to Island Smiles Dental Care so I set up an initial appointment to try them out. I had to reschedule, but they were able to fit me into a last-minute appointment when I called again. The entire process of getting X-rays and the cleaning with Dr. Stanley went well. He was attentive to my concerns and dental history. I have to go back to get some work done, but I'm happy it was discovered when it was
