What We Offer

Our Specialist Services

We offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based, non-surgical treatments for facial pain, jaw disorders, and sleep-related conditions.

TMJ & Facial Pain

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, causing pain that can radiate to the face, neck, and head. Symptoms include jaw clicking, limited mouth opening, headaches, and earaches.

Our specialists use a comprehensive, non-surgical approach including splint therapy, physical therapy, and targeted injections to restore function and relieve pain.

  • Clicking or popping jaw
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Neck and shoulder pain

Snoring & Sleep Apnoea

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. Left untreated, it increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

We offer custom-fitted oral appliances as an effective alternative to CPAP therapy, helping to keep the airway open and restore restful sleep.

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation)

Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. It is a safe, non-invasive treatment with no side effects.

Dr Joseph Ryan is a leading researcher and clinician in PBMT, and is the current President of the Australian Medical Photobiomodulation Therapy Association.

Oral Appliances

Custom-fabricated oral appliances are precision devices worn during sleep to reposition the jaw, protect teeth from grinding, and maintain an open airway.

We design and fit a range of appliances including stabilisation splints, mandibular advancement devices, and night guards tailored to each patient's anatomy and condition.

Common Symptoms Treated

  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Sleep apnoea
  • Jaw joint pain
  • Worn or cracked teeth
  • Morning jaw stiffness

Medication & Supplements

In some cases, carefully selected medications and supplements can play an important role in managing chronic pain and sleep disorders. Our clinicians take a conservative, evidence-based approach to prescribing.

We consider the full picture of your health before recommending any pharmacological intervention, ensuring treatments are safe and appropriate.

Common Symptoms Treated

  • Chronic orofacial pain
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Muscle tension
  • Nerve-related pain
  • Inflammatory conditions

Trigger Point Injections

Myofascial trigger points are tight knots within muscle tissue that cause localised and referred pain. Trigger point injections deliver a small amount of anaesthetic directly into these points to release tension and provide lasting relief.

This treatment is particularly effective for jaw, head, and neck pain associated with TMJ disorders and bruxism.

Common Symptoms Treated

  • Jaw muscle pain
  • Referred headaches
  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Facial muscle tightness
  • Limited jaw movement

Botox Therapy

Therapeutic Botox (botulinum toxin) injections are a highly effective treatment for overactive jaw muscles. By temporarily relaxing the masseter and temporalis muscles, Botox reduces clenching forces, relieves pain, and can prevent further tooth damage.

Results typically last 3–6 months and the treatment is quick, safe, and well-tolerated.

Common Symptoms Treated

  • Jaw clenching and grinding
  • Chronic headaches
  • Jaw muscle hypertrophy
  • TMJ pain
  • Facial tension

Physical Self-Regulation

Understanding and modifying the behaviours that contribute to jaw pain is a critical part of long-term recovery. We educate patients on posture, parafunctional habits, relaxation techniques, and self-care strategies.

This empowers patients to take an active role in their own healing and reduces the likelihood of symptom recurrence.

Common Symptoms Treated

  • Stress-related jaw tension
  • Habitual clenching
  • Poor posture
  • Sleep-related habits
  • Chronic pain management

Featured Treatment

Combination OSA Therapy (CPAP + MAS)

For patients who struggle with CPAP alone, combining it with a custom mandibular advancement splint can significantly reduce required pressures, improve comfort, and achieve better treatment outcomes. Learn more about this specialist approach.
