Everyone has unique oral health needs. Unfortunately, sometimes dental issues are more complex than others, like a TMJ disorder. As a result, not just anyone will do. You need the skills and experience of a qualified and specially trained dentist. You need a professional who specializes in the temporomandibular joint, which connects your lower jaw to your skull on either side of your face. Dr. Gasper is the dentist for you. For over 3 decades, he’s gone above and beyond to help patients with specific dental needs.
Get Relief from TMJ Disorders
A TMJ disorder can significantly compromise your quality of life.

You don’t need to let the pain and symptoms of the disorder interrupt your day any longer.
Dr. Gasper can create a personalized treatment plan to improve your oral functions and stop your pain. He combines his experience with the latest innovations in dentistry for effective TMJ therapy.

Over the years, he has completed extensive post-graduate education in many areas of specialty, including TMJ therapy, orthodontics, and neuromuscular dentistry. He has completed various courses in advanced orthodontics and TMJ at the Mid America Orthodontic Society. In addition, he has accomplished over 1,000 hours of training in the nonsurgical correction of TMJ dysfunction.
Dr. Gasper has the qualifications and experience necessary to treat multiple concerns affecting the temporomandibular joint, such as those caused by anatomical defects, stress, misaligned bite, or injury. He helps his patients find relief with TMJ therapy.
Treating TMJ Disorders
Dr. Gasper doesn’t use cookie-cutter treatment plans. Instead, he takes the time to create individualized solutions to stop persistent jaw and neck pain. He’ll find the root cause of your discomfort to design a plan to improve your jaw’s function, such as an oral appliance or orthodontics.
Using the knowledge acquired during his training at the Pankey Institute, he can enhance the relationship between the teeth and jaw to promote proper functions. Focusing on balancing the upper and lower teeth can offer long-term relief from your TMJ symptoms.
