Your Premier TMJ & Sleep Treatment Center in [city]
At Raymond E. Carpenter DDS, we specialize exclusively in advanced TMJ and sleep disorder care, offering comprehensive, evidence-based solutions designed to restore comfort, function and quality of life.
Root-Cause Treatment, Not Temporary Relief
What sets us apart? We believe in forward progress. Just as medical science continues to evolve, so should the way TMJ and sleep disorders are treated. Gone are the days of simply masking symptoms. Our approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of dysfunction to create lasting, meaningful results.
Our [dr_type] and team recognize that no two patients are alike, which is why we never take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, we offer multiple treatment pathways to ensure each patient receives care tailored to their unique anatomy, symptoms and goals.
Leaders in Noninvasive TMJ Innovation
As San Diego’s premier TMJ treatment center, we are proud to be the first clinic to offer EMFACE® for TMJ treatment — an effective, FDA-approved, and completely noninvasive option designed to relax overactive jaw muscles, improve muscle balance and reduce TMJ-related discomfort without needles, downtime or surgery.
PRF Injections for TMJ Regeneration
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy is an advanced, biologic and regenerative treatment option for TMJ disorders rooted in inflammation and joint degeneration. Using the patient’s own blood, PRF concentrates growth factors that support the body’s natural healing response.
PRF injections may help:
- Reduce joint inflammation and pain
- Support tissue regeneration within the TMJ
- Improve joint function and comfort over time
This minimally invasive option is ideal for patients seeking a regenerative approach to TMJ care without synthetic fillers or steroids.
Customized Oral Sleep Appliances for Sleep Apnea
We offer custom-designed oral sleep appliances for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and sleep-disordered breathing. These FDA-approved devices gently reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep — providing a comfortable, effective alternative to CPAP therapy for many patients.
Benefits include:
- Improved airflow and oxygen levels during sleep
- Reduced snoring and nighttime awakenings
- Better sleep quality and daytime energy
Each appliance is precisely fitted and adjusted to ensure optimal comfort, effectiveness and long-term success.
Integrated TMJ & Sleep Care
TMJ disorders and sleep apnea are often closely connected. Our expertise in both areas allows us to provide integrated care, addressing jaw health, airway function, muscle balance and sleep quality under one roof — something few clinics are equipped to offer.
Advanced Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Jaw Clenching) Treatment
Bruxism — commonly known as teeth grinding or jaw clenching — is a frequent but often overlooked cause of TMJ pain, jaw tension, headaches and dental damage. Many patients grind or clench unconsciously, especially during sleep, placing excessive strain on the jaw joints, facial muscles and teeth.
Dr. Raymond Carpenter takes a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating bruxism. Rather than simply protecting the teeth, we focus on addressing the underlying muscular, joint and airway factors that contribute to chronic grinding and clenching. Treatment options may include custom oral appliances, advanced muscle therapies, regenerative treatments and noninvasive technologies designed to reduce muscle overactivity and restore jaw balance.
