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.

✨ Why are so many patients choosing Angel Aligners? ✨
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but are worried about noticeable braces, Angel Aligners could be the perfect solution.
In today’s video, Yasmin explains why patients love Angel Aligners. The clear aligners are comfortable, removable and incredibly discreet, meaning most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
But it’s not just patients who love them.
As a dentist, Yasmin values the flexibility Angel Aligners provide. By carefully placing attachments on the teeth, she can achieve precise movements and help treat more complex cases than many people realise.
The result? A straighter smile with a treatment that fits around your everyday life.
Watch the video below to hear Yasmin explain why Angel Aligners have become such a popular choice for patients looking to transform their smile.

Are dental X-rays safe? 🤔
It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often - and in this video, Richard explains why modern dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation and play an important role in protecting your oral health.
Dental X-rays help us spot problems that may not be visible during a normal examination, including decay between teeth, infections, bone loss and other hidden issues - often before they become more serious.
At Evolve Dentistry, we only recommend X-rays when clinically necessary and always keep radiation exposure as low as possible.

Today is World Environment Day 🌍
At Evolve Dentistry, we’re always looking at ways we can reduce our environmental impact while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.
Over the years, we’ve introduced a number of changes within the practice
🦷 Using digital scanners instead of traditional impressions
📄 Reducing paper usage through digital systems and communication
☕ Choosing paper cups rather than plastic alternatives
🌱 Using environmentally friendly materials and products where we can
Modern dentistry is constantly evolving, and we believe small changes can make a big difference over time.
Thank you to our patients for supporting a practice that is always striving to improve - not just for our patients, but for the environment too. 💚

Did you know that snoring can affect more than just your sleep? 😴
In this video, Maggie explains how snoring and mouth breathing can lead to a dry mouth - which may increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath.
Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth and gums, so when your mouth becomes dry overnight, it can have a bigger impact on your oral health than many people realise.
If you struggle with snoring, waking with a dry mouth, or persistent bad breath, it may be worth speaking to a dentist.
