Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are located on either side of your head and connect your jaw to your skull. These complex joints make it possible to do many things you probably don’t think much about – like talking, eating, laughing, yawning, and even singing. If these joints become irritated, you can experience a great deal of pain just trying to do these simple tasks.
Even though researchers don’t fully understand the causes of TMD, we do know how to alleviate the symptoms. When you come in for your initial consultation, Dr. Arif-Holmes will examine your jaw movement, plus we may take some digital X-rays for a close-up look of your jawbone. In many cases, a custom-fit TMJ appliance will eliminate your pain:

I am not one to leave reviews, but after my experience today, I JUST HAD TO!! My first dentist appointment with Dr. Holmes and staff was epic!!! The office is beautiful and inviting and my experience and they way my teeth were examined are cared for was just amazing. Z, was hilarious and she made me feel at home!!! I never experienced anything like this before at my previous dentist! I felt like a patient 🤗 I’m so excited I did my research and came across this place!
Heaven Sent! This is the most AMAZING place and dentist ever. I suffered severe ‘trauma’ as a child at the hands of a dentist and was literally TERRIFIED of the dentist office. I was so bad that I nearly got kicked out of the service because I wouldn’t go to the dentist (leading to a FORCED visit escorted by MP’s = more trauma). I truly believed I would die with a mouth of rotted and decaying teeth. That all changed when I finally decided to seek help. I looked on-line and prayed for a dentist that could deal with all of my anxieties AND PTSD. Doctor Holmes and her staff are AWESOME! They worked with me to develop a treatment plan and literally held my hand at some points in the process. Fast forward to today (see photo). I can now walk into that office with minimal anxiety knowing that I am in wonderful , caring, compassionate, and EXTREMELY TALENTED hands of Dr. Lakisha Arif-Holmes at Mayfair Family Dentistry. God bless them.
The doctor and staff are really nice. They care about the patients and and meeting their needs Any concerns that I had… they listened to and provided the best answer possible. I haven’t been to a great dentist for many years now. I’m so thankful for this office and their meaningful services. Thank you all for reminding me, what’s it’s like to be a welcomed patient in your facility.
Dr Holmes and her staff are very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Holmes is truly conscientious and thorough in her evaluation and care of my teeth. I am informed of any options that might be available and feel like my best dental care is a collaborative decision.
Dr. Arif-Holmes and her team are fantastic. Highly recommend this office. I have moved a lot and been to many dental practices so can confidently say they are all around great.
Dr. Holmes and staff always explain issues and communicate problems/treatments in a way that is easy to understand. Office atmosphere is very nice and friendly. Efficient. Highly recommend.
Great family dentist need to be more consistent in mask requirements with other patients I came in with my kids and I was not wearing a mask was told mask required but seen 2 people walk in no mask and checkin and never was not told by noone they needed to wear mask.
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.
This varies depending on your insurance policy. TMJ disorders are a health issue that should be treated, and our team will do our part to make sure you get the full benefits covered by your dental plan. You also should know that we offer flexible payment options, including financing through CareCredit, so you can manage the cost of your care.
You may need ongoing treatment for a TMJ disorder. Fortunately, by wearing a simple appliance, you can prevent teeth grinding, a common cause of TMJ problems. We have helped many patients find the solution to this particularly painful problem. Today, they are enjoying their lives with fewer headaches, earaches, jaw pain, and jaw stiffness.
