What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, connects your jawbone to your skull and plays an important role in speaking, chewing, and everyday jaw movement. When this joint becomes strained, misaligned, or irritated, it can lead to TMJ disorder symptoms such as jaw pain, stiffness, clicking or popping, headaches, and pain in the neck or shoulders.
At GeDental Wellness, TMJ treatment in West Hollywood focuses on identifying the source of the problem, including bite imbalance, teeth grinding, jaw tension, or joint stress.
Common Causes of TMJ Disorder
- Teeth grinding or clenching, also known as bruxism
- Jaw misalignment or bite imbalance
- Stress and muscle tension
- Arthritis or joint inflammation
- Injury to the jaw or face

Posted on Google Jeanette TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have always been terrified of dental appointments, but after a couple years of neglect I knew it was time to face those fears head on. From the moment I arrived I felt cared for.. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. Janae made me feel completely at ease on all levels, including insurance questions. Dr. Montilla carefully explained everything that we needed to do to take care of my dental issues. He is patient and gentle and has gained my full trust. I like that we are taking care in a heathy manner, not just "covering up" with a quick fix. I'm so pleased to have a dental office that truly cares and I will recommend Dr. Montilla to anyone and everyone.Posted on Google Matt MitchellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best Dentist’s Office in LA! My teeth have never looked better and it’s all thanks to themPosted on Google Bryan PalaciosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I previously posted this review under the wrong practice by mistake, so I wanted to repost it here for the correct office. I started going to Dr. Jay M. Schulman’s office when Dr. Montilla took over, and since day one I’ve felt so welcomed by Christina, Iliana, and Dr. Montilla. They were able to fix my chipped front tooth beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. After going to my previous dentist for over 10 years, making the switch was a bit scary, but it turned out to be the best decision I’ve made. Janae joined the team not long after, and she’s been such a sweetheart as well! Everyone here is friendly, professional, and truly cares about their patients. They also check insurance coverage and always consult you before any procedures so you can make an informed choice. I have my Invisalign which is something that has been in my bucket list ever since Elementary school. (Even though I still had my baby teeth - I just always wanted a nice smile). I highly recommend visiting them! You’ll be in great hands!Posted on Google thomasj peningerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love the whole GeDental team! They are always caring and thoughtful. I went to them after having been terrified of dentists, and they have completely cured my fears.Posted on Google Stephan BaukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were able to fit me in last minute and gave me the best experience I could imagine, in spite of the circumstances (dental emergency…). Really happy with the work they did!Posted on Google Robert BirdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Dentist!. I've been with this practice for decades and I highly recommend Dr. Montilla and entire staff. They are all the best!Posted on Google Benecia JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Montilla is absolutely amazing! He’s very passionate and genuinely cares for his patients dental health!!Posted on Google Alana CuzorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Montilla is the best! I’ve had some preventative dental work done by him, and just did a crown which was done with a 3D scan and then made in-office on the same day. After numerous dental procedures, trials, and tribulations at other practices over the years, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Montilla!Posted on Google Travis CookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. precise and friendlyPosted on Google Maurice LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Gedental and Dr. Montilla more. I have had horrible past experiences with dentists all my life in Los Angeles, with Dr. Montilla’s attention to detail and genuine care for not only my oral health/goals but my comfort and experience in his office I have completely changed my view on my dental appointments and would even say I look forward to them. 10/10!!!
