My husband and I had been looking for a new dentist, Monroe Smiles was recommended to us. We have nothing but great things to say about this dentist! The entire team is so friendly and kind! Very detailed and knowledgeable. We would recommend to anyone looking for a dentist!
Highly recommend Monroe Smiles! Everyone in the office is so friendly, they’re gentle and make sure you’re comfortable. I like that they have modern updated equipment and the waiting area is decorated cute to feel more cozy and not like a medical facility.
Very welcoming environment. The staff was really friendly and kind. For someone that gets really bad anxiety about going to the dentist this was the perfect place. Very clean. Helped me understand everything that was going on and answered my questions.
I went in to get a chipped front tooth looked at thinking I’d need a crown. Dr Johnson said I didn’t need one he fixed it right then. He did a perfect job on it. The staff is very professional and friendly. I will definitely be back for routine work. I highly recommend.
I highly recommend Monroe Smiles. I recently moved to the area and was concerned about finding a new dentist. I am so happy to have found them. They are genuinely kind, have all the latest equipment, and really know their stuff! Best dental office I’ve been to in my 56 years!!
I just came back from my first appointment at Monroe Smiles and it was by far the best experience I have had at a dentist office. It is a very nice facility, everything is top end, the entire staff is friendly and great to chat with, and they are very transparent in their care and share details and explanations for what they are doing and seeing. I have found my “forever dentist”. Highly recommended!
Staff were sweet and gentle even though I hadn’t had a cleaning in a long time. They explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. Highly recommend Dr. Johnson and his team!
Everybody here is extremely friendly, attentive, and professional. I always have an enjoyable experience here and receive excellent care. They even went above and beyond to celebrate my birthday! They’ve always communicated clearly, provided a clean environment, and resolved any questions or concerns I’ve had. Nothing but good things to say about this place and I recommend it to all.
Great atmosphere, really friend staff, quick working and know what they’re doing. I really enjoyed my experience and that is something I never thought I’d say about going to the dentist. Very happy to have found them!
Excellent facility, staff and professionalism. Total excellence from the moment you walk in the door to sitting back in the chair to completing the visit and walking out. No surprises, awesome people and exactly what you want in a dental experience. Keep up the great work. Thank you, Happy Dental Patient
TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal. We may also recommend Xeomin treatments, a safe injectable that relieves the muscle tension that can trigger TMJ problems.
The length of your TMJ treatment will depend on the treatment method you require. Some patients respond well to Xeomin treatment, which requires only 10 minutes to administer. Other patients need to wear a night guard or splint while sleeping to eliminate their TMJ pain. Some patients respond best to clear aligner therapy to correct a misaligned bite, which usually takes between 12 and 18 months to complete.
TMJ treatment may be covered by your regular health insurance. We recommend you check with your insurance carrier for specifics on your coverage. If you don’t have coverage for your treatment, we offer several payment options, including in-house financing. We’ll work with you to get the TMJ treatment you need.
