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.

🪥 Smile hack: timing your tooth brushing
Did you know that brushing your teeth straight after eating isn’t always the best idea?
In this quick video, Maggie explains why it’s better to wait a little while before brushing. After eating, especially acidic foods and drinks, the enamel on your teeth can be temporarily softened. Brushing too soon can actually cause more wear.
Waiting around 30 minutes gives your saliva time to neutralise the acids and protect your teeth.
Watch Maggie’s smile hack to learn the simple change that can help keep your teeth healthier.

What exactly is a dental crown?
In this video, Carol explains how crowns help restore and protect teeth that have been weakened by cracks, root canal treatment or large fillings.
A crown acts like a protective cap, binding the tooth together and giving it the strength it needs for everyday biting and chewing.
Watch the video to learn when a crown may be recommended and how it helps protect your smile.

Did you know that chewing sugar free gum after eating can actually help protect your teeth? 🍬➡️🦷
In this video, Carol explains why dentists often recommend sugar free gum after meals. Chewing gum stimulates saliva, which helps wash away food particles and neutralise acids that can lead to tooth decay.
It’s not a replacement for brushing, but it can be a helpful extra habit when you’re out and about and can’t brush your teeth straight away.
