Experienced TMJ specialists
Under the leadership of Dr. Prabhjeet Singh Sethi — Dawson Certified with 25+ years of experience — our team focuses on accurate diagnosis and predictable, jaw-friendly outcomes. We combine deep insight into TMJ dysfunction with modern restorative and occlusal principles.
Comprehensive treatment plans
We look for the underlying drivers of your symptoms using updated clinical and imaging tools where appropriate, then design a plan that may include medication, splint therapy, physiotherapy, lifestyle guidance, and — only when necessary — referral for surgical options.
Technology for accurate diagnosis
Our clinic uses contemporary digital records, imaging, and bite analysis as indicated so your TMJ specialist can explain findings clearly and track progress over time.
Compassionate, conservative-first care
Most patients prefer non-invasive options first. We emphasise splints and night guards where appropriate, therapeutic modalities (such as TENS where suitable, jaw physiotherapy, and selected cases of Botox for TMJ), and stress-related support when anxiety amplifies symptoms.
