TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ treatment specializes in diagnosing and resolving temporomandibular joint disorders through advanced techniques like MAGO Therapy. We address symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and facial discomfort by stabilizing the chewing system. Patients receive personalized treatment plans combining oral appliance therapy, bite adjustments, and restorative dentistry to achieve lasting relief from chronic conditions.
BioRejuvenation Dentistry
BioRejuvenation Dentistry restores optimal function and aesthetics to damaged teeth using minimally invasive techniques. This approach focuses on re-establishing proper jaw alignment, tooth contact, and muscle relaxation to improve both appearance and oral health. Treatments include composite bonding, porcelain veneers, and bite reconstruction to address wear patterns caused by TMJ disorders.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made clear aligners that are removable for eating and oral hygiene. Our certified providers create personalized treatment plans to correct misalignment issues while maintaining comfort and aesthetics. The process typically takes 6-12 months, with patients wearing aligners 20-22 hours daily for optimal results.
Restorative Care
Our restorative services repair damaged or missing teeth through crowns, bridges, and dental implants. We use durable materials like porcelain and ceramic to rebuild tooth structure while maintaining natural aesthetics. CEREC technology enables same-day crown placement, eliminating the need for multiple visits and temporary restorations.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through veneers, teeth whitening, and contouring procedures. We offer both porcelain and composite veneers to address discoloration, chips, and gaps while preserving tooth structure. Our approach combines aesthetic improvements with functional benefits to create balanced, natural-looking results that enhance overall oral health.

Questions
What makes Gallagher Dentistry unique for TMJ treatment?
We specialize in MAGO Therapy and Bioesthetic Principles with over 30 years of experience addressing complex TMJ disorders through non-surgical, personalized approaches.
How does MAGO Therapy provide TMJ relief?
MAGO Therapy stabilizes jaw joints by keeping teeth apart, allowing muscles to relax and joints to realign through weekly adjustments to the Maxillary Anterior Guided Orthotic device.
Can cosmetic dentistry address functional issues?
Our cosmetic treatments like veneers and bonding correct both aesthetic concerns and functional problems caused by improper bite alignment and tooth wear patterns.
What TMJ symptoms qualify for treatment?
We treat clicking/popping jaws, chronic headaches, facial muscle pain, earaches, and teeth sensitivity caused by unstable bites or joint dysfunction.
How long does TMJ treatment typically take?
MAGO Therapy usually requires 4-12 weeks for joint stabilization, followed by restorative work to maintain proper alignment and prevent future issues.
Do you accept dental insurance for TMJ treatment?
While we don't directly bill insurance, we provide documentation for potential reimbursement since most dental plans don't cover TMJ-specific treatments.
