TMJ Treatment in New York
TMJ disorders affect the joints and muscles that move your jaw. They can cause clicking, popping, a jaw that catches or locks, facial tension, and headaches. Dr. Amin Samadian evaluates what's driving your symptoms and, when appropriate, recommends conservative options before anything invasive.
What a TMJ evaluation looks at
A careful history and exam of your jaw, bite, and muscles — how the joint moves, where it's tender, and how your symptoms connect to habits like clenching or grinding. The goal is a clear diagnosis first, so treatment targets the actual cause rather than just the symptom.
Conservative options come first
Many people improve with non-surgical care such as custom oral appliances (bite splints), targeted exercises, habit and posture changes, and management of clenching or grinding. Dr. Samadian favors reversible, evidence-supported approaches and reserves anything more involved for cases that genuinely need it.

Common questions
- Do I need surgery for TMJ?
- Usually not. Most TMJ disorders are managed with conservative, non-surgical care. Surgery is uncommon and considered only when appropriate after a thorough evaluation.
- How long until I feel better?
- It varies with the cause and how long symptoms have been present. Many people notice gradual improvement over weeks with a consistent, tailored plan. Your consultation will set realistic expectations.
- Can I be seen without coming to an office first?
- Yes. The initial consultation is virtual, so Dr. Samadian can review your symptoms before any in-person visit. If you choose to proceed, we arrange the in-person appointment in New York.
