Do you experience frequent jaw pain, headaches, or discomfort while chewing? These symptoms may be linked to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders or an overactive masseter muscle. At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we offer a treatment approach designed to relieve jaw pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve both comfort and jawline appearance.
TMJ disorders and masseter hypertrophy (enlargement of the jaw muscle) are common conditions that can affect daily comfort and quality of life. Many people experience these issues due to teeth grinding, clenching, stress, or injury, leading to symptoms such as:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, Evolve Dentistry can help assess and address these concerns.
Our treatment approach focuses on gently relaxing the overworked muscles around the jaw to provide pain relief and functional support. Targeting these muscles helps to:
Personalised consultation and assessment
The journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Yasmin Zeina to assess your symptoms, discuss any concerns, and identify treatment goals. During this consultation, Dr. Zeina will evaluate your jaw muscles, listen to your concerns, and help create a tailored treatment plan.
Treatment plan and care schedule
To start, most patients receive treatments every 3-4 months during the first year, allowing gradual improvement. Once initial goals are achieved, maintenance treatments are spaced every six months to support continued comfort and function.
Experience relief and improved comfort
Evolve Dentistry in Portishead is dedicated to providing effective, compassionate care for patients with TMJ and jaw muscle issues. Our team is here to help you find relief, enhance your comfort, and improve your quality of life.

How do you know if you grind your teeth?
Teeth grinding often happens without you realising — especially at night. In this video, Maggie explains some of the common signs to look out for, including:

• Frequent headaches
• Worn or flattened teeth
She also explains how your dentist can check for signs of grinding and, if needed, provide a mouthguard to help protect your teeth.
