Rod Eccles, DDS can create custom splints and mouthguards in our office to relieve your jaw pain and prevent teeth grinding. Call 317-682-0884 to make an appointment at our office to start feeling better.
If you are experiencing mouth pain or TMJ pain, we can provide services for that. It may be as easy as a mouth guard or night guard. And it may be very complicated. But we can provide those or direct you to those that can help you.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is where your lower jaw connects to your skull. When you have TMJ disorder (TMD), you may have symptoms like pain when opening and closing your mouth or a jaw that locks into place.
Because there are many potential symptoms and causes of TMJ disorders, you should see a professional like Dr. Eccles for a proper diagnosis. Teeth grinding can also be related to TMDs or a separate issue entirely brought on by stress, depression, a bad bite, or other sources.
To relieve any issues you may be having with tooth grinding or TMJ pain, we can create custom splints or nightguards in our general dental office. You won’t have to wait days or weeks for a lab to fabricate and ship your oral appliance!

You may see even more benefits from using your custom-made appliance in conjunction with relaxation techniques, stretching exercises, massages for your jaw, and dietary changes.

Dr Eccles office was closed for the holiday BUT he quickly returned a call regarding our emergency need related to a broken tooth. He met us at his office and quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue. Dr Eccles and his staff are simply outstanding and we would highly recommend him for dental needs.
Dr. Eccles is wonderful dentist and compassionate about his patients. His service along with his staff are 5 star. I recently had a emergency visit and within an hour I was successfully treated and released.
Dr Eccles is a fantastic dentist. He does great work, and doesn’t try do work that doesn’t need to be done. He actually cares about my needle phobia, and uses a special tool on me that makes it way less painful. His office manager, Linda, is stellar, and his other staff have all been super nice and compassionate. I have had many dentists over the years, and Dr Eccles is one of the best. I also like how they have handled still being able to see patients during covid; they are cautious, but in the nicest way possible. I hope he has no plans on retirement any time soon!!
Once again I arrived a little early and had a short wait after a friendly welcome from Linda. Shortly thereafter I was taken to the back where Dr Eccles filled a small cavity in his usual professional manner and boom …. I was finished and leaving in no time at all. This is my normal at this office … friendly, courteous, and professional staff with great service
Always a pleasure to visit Dr. Eccles and staff. Family type office with efficient staff and excellent service!! Welcome, Kelly and thank you !
This was my 2nd cleaning for 2021 Love my New Dentist and Love my Dental hygienist Kellie ❤ Front desk and all the gave me a warm welcome Thank you
I had a dental emergency. Dr. Eccles was able to see me the same day and took care of it! I highly recommend him.
Always a great experience. All of the staff is super friendly and work to make you comfortable (well as much as possible since you are at the dentist after all). Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new dentist.
I hate going to the Dentist however Dr. Eccles make the experience so much easier and his staff is simply wonderful when talking with them!!
Dr Eccles and his staff are wonderful. They take time to listen and explain. They also respect your time. Best dentist I have ever seen.
TMJ may be caused by extreme pressure placed on your jaw by jaw clenching or teeth grinding, two habits that are often linked to stress. So if your stress goes away and those behaviors stop, your TMJ pain may eventually go away too. However, it’s quicker and more effective to stop clenching and grinding with a custom-made mouthguard.
Insurance coverage for TMJ treatment varies. The only way to know if your insurance company covers any part of your treatment is by researching your policy, something our team can help with. A lack of insurance shouldn’t keep you from treatment. Consider joining our Smile Care Club to save on most treatments, or you can use third-party financing.
Every case is different, of course, but most patients experience relief from TMJ pain by wearing a custom-made splint or mouth guard, which we create in-house without any delay. We can also offer suggestions for relaxation techniques and exercises to stretch your jaw. These treatments relieve pressure on your jaw so it can heal.
It’s possible, yes. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to pain in the surrounding muscles of the head and neck, which can be misinterpreted as migraines. By wearing a mouthguard, you can alleviate the pain caused by TMJ inflammation and potentially experience relief from headaches.
Signs of a TMJ disorder may include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth completely, facial pain, headaches, and ear pain or ringing. Some people may also experience neck and shoulder pain or toothaches unrelated to dental problems. Also, your jaw may feel locked or stuck. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to visit our practice for help.
