Are you dealing with persistent jaw pain, discomfort when chewing, or noticing a change in your jawline? These symptoms could point to a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder or an enlargement of the jaw muscle, known as masseter hypertrophy. At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we offer a therapeutic approach that may help relieve these symptoms by reducing muscle tension and improving the comfort and appearance of your jawline.
TMJ disorders, along with conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) and masseter hypertrophy, can cause chronic discomfort and affect the jaw’s appearance. Many of these issues stem from excessive jaw muscle activity, often related to clenching, grinding, stress, or even past injuries, which can lead to a bulkier jawline, headaches, and other problems.
If these symptoms sound familiar, a visit to Evolve could offer you relief and improved comfort.
At Evolve, we provide a treatment option that targets overactive jaw muscles, which can help relieve discomfort while enhancing jaw function. By working with the muscles around the jaw, this approach may offer:

Your experience begins with a thorough consultation to assess symptoms, understand any specific concerns, and discuss your treatment goals. During this assessment, Dr. Yasmin Zeina will talk with you about your jaw discomfort, grinding, clenching, and any aesthetic preferences, such as achieving a more streamlined jawline.
To achieve the best results, your initial treatments will be spread out every 3-4 months for the first year, allowing gradual and lasting improvement in muscle function and appearance. Following this initial phase, maintenance treatments are typically spaced every six months to help sustain these benefits over time.
At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we’re committed to delivering high-quality, personalised care for patients facing TMJ and masseter-related concerns. Our approach is designed not only to help with jaw discomfort but also to support your overall sense of well-being.
If you’d like to discover whether Evolve’s treatment could help relieve your jaw pain or enhance your jawline comfort, contact us today to schedule a consultation. Dr. Yasmin Zeina and the team are here to help answer your questions and guide you on a path to greater comfort and confidence.

If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.
At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.
Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.
Swipe through for a simple explanation of what the SMART approach involves.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.
We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.
We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.
But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.
Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.
Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.
The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.
If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

🦷 Day one, first clinic!
Carol has sent us the first photos from her trip — and what a first day it’s been!
Working alongside five other dentists, the team saw an incredible 197 patients in just one day. ❤️
In Carol’s words:
“I’ve taken out more teeth today than I have in the past year!”
A very different day in dentistry from the ones Carol is used to back home at Evolve, and a reminder of just how much need there is for the care the team is providing.
We’re so proud of her — and we’ll be sharing more updates and photos from Carol’s trip as they come in. 🌍🦷

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?
There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.
Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
