Jaw Pain & TMD
in Henderson

TMJ and jaw pain in Henderson, NV rarely start in the joint — so we don't start there either. The first move is finding what's actually driving the ache, then calming the muscle with gentle, drug-free Emvital® laser therapy. No injections, no bite splint as a first resort, no rush to anything irreversible.

How we treat it

Find the cause first. Then calm it — gently.

Jaw pain is rarely just the jaw. Before any treatment, Dr. Goh looks at how you bite, clench, sleep, and hold tension — because relief that lasts comes from the driver, not the symptom.

01 · Understand

Find what's driving it

A hands-on exam of the joint and muscles, your bite, and clenching or airway patterns that often sit underneath TMD. We name the cause before we treat anything.

02 · Calm

Emvital® laser therapy

Gentle, drug-free laser therapy that eases muscle and joint pain without needles or medication. Most patients simply feel warmth. It's the centerpiece of how we quiet an angry jaw.

Drug-free · needle-free
03 · Protect

Support the habit

Where it helps, we add conservative support — a custom night guard, targeted exercises, and simple daytime habits — so the relief holds instead of circling back.

What it feels like

Twenty quiet minutes. No needles.

You lie back and the laser arm passes over the sore areas of your jaw and face. There's nothing to numb and nothing to recover from — most people feel a gentle warmth and drive home straight after.

Because it's drug-free, Emvital® fits alongside the rest of your care rather than complicating it. We track how your jaw responds session to session and adjust.

What to expect

Is this right for you?

If your jaw clicks, aches, locks, or leaves you waking with headaches and a tight face, there's a good chance conservative care can help — and that you can avoid the surgical conversation entirely.

Dr. Goh starts by listening, then examines by hand and tells you plainly what he sees. If Emvital® and conservative care are a fit, he'll say so. If something needs a specialist, he'll say that too.

  • Good fitMuscle-driven jaw pain, clenching and grinding, tension headaches, clicking, and morning tightness.
  • Talk firstLong-standing locking, prior jaw trauma, or arthritis — often still helped, sometimes alongside a specialist.
  • Beyond usCertain structural joint problems that need surgical or orthodontic care — we'll refer you honestly.

Individual results vary. Emvital® is used as part of a conservative, non-surgical plan — not a guarantee of outcome.

The honest answers.

Most jaw pain is muscle-driven — clenching and grinding, stress-holding, and bite patterns that overload the joint, often tied to how you sleep and breathe. Less often it's the joint structure itself. That's why we start by finding the driver rather than treating the ache in isolation.
Emvital® uses gentle laser energy to ease pain and support recovery in the muscle and joint — no needles, no medication, nothing to numb. It doesn't hurt; most patients feel only a mild warmth and go straight back to their day. It's the centerpiece of our non-surgical approach.
No surgery. We stay with conservative, reversible care first. A custom night guard helps some patients protect the joint from clenching, but it's one option among several — not an automatic prescription. Dr. Goh only recommends it if it fits your situation.
It depends on how long the pain has been building and what's driving it, so we set expectations up front rather than promising a number. Some patients notice easing early; muscle-driven tension usually responds over a short series of sessions. Individual results vary, and we track your response as we go.
Very often, yes. Nighttime clenching, disrupted sleep and airway, and stress-holding all load the jaw. Because we look at the whole picture — not just the joint — we can address what's feeding the pain, which is what makes relief last.
Dr. Goh listens to your history, examines the jaw and muscles by hand, and checks your bite and clenching patterns. Then he tells you plainly what he sees and whether Emvital® and conservative care are a fit — no pressure, and an honest referral if you need something we don't do.
Let's talk

Let's find out what your jaw is telling you.

Come in, and Dr. Goh will examine the joint and muscles, look at what's driving the pain, and tell you plainly whether Emvital® and conservative care can help. No pressure, no obligation.
