Headaches and dizziness could be caused by temporomandibular joint dysfunction. If you live in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, or a surrounding area, state-of-the-art dental clinic Millennium Smiles (469-200-8123) is leading the way in diagnosis and treatment.
No, temporomandibular joints are not some type of weed-loving, exotic spider. They’re actually the two points at which your lower jaw connects to your skull, and they can cause lots of problems if they don’t work correctly. Knowing if there’s a problem with your TMJ has been difficult in the past, but Millennium Smiles uses some of the latest technologies to see what’s going on.
The equipment is called Joint Vibrational Analysis (JVA), and it’s a super sensitive listing device that detects the friction caused when your TMJ isn’t working properly. The clinic’s first line of treatment is a non-invasive therapy that has a 95% chance of resolving your symptoms.

Millennium Smiles’ approach is a more accurate and effective means of checking if you have a temporomandibular joint disorder, which can often have very generalized symptoms. These include pain in your face and/or jaw, headaches, neck and upper back pain, ringing ears, dizziness, and/or tingling fingers.
When left untreated, temporomandibular joint dysfunction can lead to several more serious health concerns, including chronic and worsening pain, inability to chew, sleep apnea, insomnia, and depression and/or anxiety.
As Millennium Smiles points out, TMD is traditionally difficult to diagnose, and the clinic’s cutting-edge technologies provide you with a modern solution. The advanced JVA biometric equipment is designed to detect friction caused when your temporomandibular joint is misaligned. The dentist can then understand if a problem exists, and what the precise causes are.
In cases where you have a problem with your jaw joint, Millennium Smiles now uses a 12-16-week therapeutic approach that will almost always resolve your symptoms. More difficult to treat problems can be addressed with phase-2, non-reversible treatments, so you can rest assured that there’s a solution.
In addition to temporomandibular joints, Millennium Smiles offers specialist diagnosis and treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, using some of the latest customized oral appliances. The center now operates from state-of-the-art clinics on Main Road and Lebanon Road, with 24/7 emergency dentistry also available for immediate, out-of-hours dental assistance.
“I moved to the area recently and needed to find my new dentist. From the moment I made my appointment at Millennium Smiles, everything was a positive experience,” one local patient recently stated. “The office staff were kind, bubbly, and helpful. I love the education part of appointments and being walked through each task. The dentist is also very helpful and genuine.”
