TMJ Solutions
Our TMJ disorder treatment addresses chronic jaw pain through comprehensive evaluations and non-invasive therapies. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we identify the root causes of temporomandibular joint dysfunction and develop personalized treatment plans. Patients receive targeted care that may include custom oral appliances, physical therapy techniques, and bite adjustment therapies to restore normal jaw function and alleviate associated symptoms like headaches and ear pain.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We provide dental sleep medicine solutions for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. Our board-certified specialists conduct sleep assessments and prescribe custom-fitted oral appliances that maintain airway patency during sleep. These FDA-approved devices offer a comfortable alternative to traditional CPAP machines, particularly for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or those who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
Craniofacial Pain Management
Our practice specializes in diagnosing and treating complex craniofacial pain conditions. Through detailed neurological and musculoskeletal evaluations, we identify pain sources related to dental structures, jaw joints, and facial muscles. Treatment combines physical therapy techniques, custom orthotic devices, and medication management to address chronic facial pain syndromes while minimizing pharmaceutical dependence.

Report
Dr. Tresgaskes is a great dentist. When I first started seeing Dr. T about two years ago, I had severe TMJ. He promptly started addressing my pain and condition. He was honest about my condition and the expected outcome. Dr. T is a compassionate professional. I have now completed my treatment and do not need to return for a year. His entire staff is professional and very kind. I hope to never experience this issue again, but if I do, I will contact this office right away.
