What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint—the small but complex joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorder occurs when this joint becomes misaligned, inflamed, or overworked, often due to clenching, grinding, trauma, arthritis, or bite imbalances.

Signs You May Have TMJ Disorder

Persistent jaw pain or soreness
Clicking, popping, or grinding when opening or closing your mouth
Frequent headaches or migraines
Pain behind the eyes, ears, or temples
Difficulty chewing or locking of the jaw
Neck, shoulder, or facial tension

If you’re noticing one or more of these symptoms, a personalized TMJ evaluation at our Newport Beach office is the first step to relief.

TMJ Treatment Options We Offer

Custom TMJ Mouth Guards / Night Guards

These oral appliances help reposition the jaw and reduce clenching or grinding (bruxism), especially during sleep. Custom-fit guards relieve muscle tension and protect teeth from wear.

Occlusal Adjustment

For patients with bite imbalances, we can reshape specific tooth surfaces to improve how the teeth come together and alleviate pressure on the jaw joint.

TENS Therapy (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

This non-invasive technique uses gentle electrical pulses to relax the jaw muscles, increase blood flow, and reduce pain.

Imaging & Digital Bite Analysis

We use advanced imaging technology and bite analysis tools to pinpoint the root cause of your TMJ symptoms and develop the most precise treatment plan.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

We’ll review your symptoms, medical history, and jaw movement, followed by imaging and bite assessments if needed.

Dr. H. is gentle, professional, kind and consistently maintains high standards for patience health, changing gloves when handling things and in the patient's mouth. I appreciate her performing the cleanings and her use of both ultrasound and the metal implements. I am very relaxed in her care.

Great dentistry crew. From the front desk receptionist, the hygienist, the Doctor, and the assistant. Hygienist is very gentle. Went in for chipped enamel on front teeth and they transformed my smile. Gave me some confidence back. Thanks for everything!!

Over the years, I have had several dentists in Southern California and no office and staff take the time and provide the level of care as this team. If you are looking for a dentist in the Orange County area, do yourself a favor and look no further. Simply put, they are exceptional and set the standard!

You know what they say, bad things happen for a good reason. It was exactly that!

Already 8pm (Wed, Feb 4) and I don’t think I can wait another moment so I looked and found Dr. Omid Haroonian and his wife (The Newport Beach Dentist).

They took real good care of me! Felt like I’ve been with them for ages. I can’t write enough how great they were. I even got a call the next morning, checking in to see how I was doing.

My family and I were in the middle of transitioning to a new insurance and was in search for a new dentist.

We are definitely making The Newport Beach Dentist our go to.

Newport Beach Dental is is the Best Dentist office I have ever been to. The staff is friendly with a warm greeting and aftercare instructions. Dr Haroonian is very gentle and concerned for you being comfortable during procedures. Mine was an implant. I wasn’t expecting but received a follow up call from the Dr later that afternoon checking to see if I was doing ok. It felt like a friend calling. I would recommend Dr Haroonian for your dental needs.

Absolute nightmare. STAY AWAY!

I went here for basic cleaning and to check on two slightly sensitive teeth that they were not in significant pain by any means. In about 30 minutes, he performed what he told me were two full-blown root canals. I left and no follow up was scheduled. Never received a call back. I assumed I was all taken care of.

A month and a half later I'm brushing my teeth and I noticed cotton sticking out of my tooth, but I began to pull and it was completely infected and what was under. It was a huge hole in my tooth that wasn't there previously. At this point, I had already developed an infection, had no idea what was going on because he gave me no instruction that I need to come back for a crown or a full root canal.

I went back and once I was there, they informed me that they didn't actually do two root canals. They did two "half root canals" they ultimately did not need and by half root canals he drilled massive holes into my teeth, stuffed them with cotton and never told me I needed to come back. Luckily, I had a friend who was a dentist who informed me this was an emergency because now with these two open holes, I was very prone to the infection getting worse quickly. I called them, went in, expecting them to fix whatever was wrong only to learn that they never been good to root canals. All they did was throw those massive clothes in my teeth and stuff with cotton. Then he told me I had no option because of what he did, but to due to root canals and to do crowns on my teeth. According to him though, insurance denied this because it wasn't necessary. However, when I ask for the insurance denial letter I was told by the staff that it's illegal to show a patient their own medical records, including insurance, denial letters. They then started laughing at me and then handed me a piece of paper for nearly $7000 to fix it.
I went to custom smiles the next day and they did a fantastic job, but I am in shock at this place is still in practice. I plan to file a formal complaint and initiate an investigation into his practice.
