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.

We’re excited to invite you to a special event we’re hosting at Evolve Dentistry on Monday 15th December, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
From 10am to 3pm, we’ll be running a Cyclathon at the practice to help raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in communities that need it most.
This year, our very own Carol Somerville Roberts is taking on the incredible Peaks to Plains Safari Cycle Challenge in Tanzania, and this event is part of her fundraising efforts.
How you can get involved:
🚴♂️ Hop on a bike – join us for a few minutes (or more!) and help us cover as many miles as possible.
💙 Come along to cheer us on – your support means so much.
📱 Make a donation on the day – we’ll have SumUp, cash collection, and QR code donation options available.
If the weather is kind, we’ll be cycling outside Evolve; if not, we’ll set up indoors, so the event will go ahead either way.
Whether you’re keen to pedal or just pop by to show your support, we’d absolutely love to see you there. Every mile and every pound makes a real difference to the communities Bridge2Aid supports.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and encouragement — it means the world to us and to Carol.

✨ What is amalgam removal — and when do we use the SMART protocol?
In this video, Carol Somerville Roberts explains what amalgam removal involves and the different options available to patients.
Some patients choose to have their amalgam fillings replaced for cosmetic reasons, while others request that the removal is carried out using the SMART protocol.
For those who request the SMART protocol, it provides an enhanced approach designed to minimise exposure during the procedure, with additional safety measures for both patients and our team.
If you’re considering having your amalgam fillings replaced — with or without the SMART protocol — our team is here to guide you through your options. 💙
