With Dr. Kenneth Allen and Dr. Shiloh Lindsey leading your treatment, you’ll receive expert care designed to address the root cause of your TMJ pain.
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders affect the joints that connect your lower jaw to your skull. These joints play a crucial role in helping you talk, chew, and yawn; when they aren’t functioning properly, they can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms.
Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our Espire Dental Fort Collins team is here to help. We provide TMJ therapy that can reduce pain, improve jaw function, and help you get back to enjoying life without constant discomfort.

With beautiful parks like Twin Silo and Fossil Creek just around the corner, we know how important it is to enjoy an active lifestyle without being bogged down by TMJ discomfort. Our team, led by Dr. Allen and his expertise in TMJ therapy, is dedicated to restoring your comfort so you can live pain-free.
As a Fort Collins native, Dr. Allen’s commitment to improving the well-being of local residents has been recognized through various awards, including his ranking in 5280 Magazine.

By addressing your TMJ issues early, you’ll experience a wide range of benefits:
If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty opening your mouth, you may have TMJ. A thorough evaluation by Dr. Allen can confirm this and help identify the cause of your symptoms.
No, TMJ therapy is designed to reduce pain, not increase it. We use non-invasive treatments like custom nightguards and exercises to alleviate discomfort and restore function.
The length of therapy varies depending on the severity of your case. Some patients experience relief after a few weeks, while others may need several months of consistent treatment.
Many insurance plans cover TMJ treatment, but it’s always best to check with your provider. Our team can help you navigate your benefits to get the care you need.
In some cases, TMJ symptoms can improve with rest and relaxation. However, chronic issues often require professional intervention to prevent long-term damage.
Absolutely. Stress can lead to jaw clenching and teeth grinding, both of which can worsen TMJ symptoms. We’ll work with you on relaxation techniques and therapies to reduce this impact.
Don’t let TMJ pain control your life. If you’re ready to start feeling better and eliminate jaw discomfort, contact Espire Dental Fort Collins today. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Kenneth Allen, is here to provide the expert care you deserve.
