It is with immense pride and gratitude that we announce a significant milestone for our practice: 25 years of serving the wonderful Fairfield community. To commemorate this special occasion, we hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and celebrated the grand opening of our new, dedicated TMJ Relief Center. The event, held on Wednesday, July 16th, at our office, was a heartwarming gathering of distinguished guests, valued patients, business partners, and our cherished friends and family. We were honored to share this moment with representatives from the Town of Fairfield and the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, all of whom have supported us on this incredible journey.
For over a quarter of a century, our practice, led by Dr. Donald Miller, has been devoted to providing excellence in cosmetic, general, and family dentistry. This celebration was not just about looking back on our accomplishments but also about looking forward. The launch of the TMJ Relief Center is a testament to our ongoing commitment to evolving with the needs of our patients and providing comprehensive, state-of-the-art dental healthcare for our community in Fairfield and throughout Connecticut.
A Milestone of Service and Community
Celebrating 25 years is a profound honor, and it’s a milestone we couldn’t have reached without the trust and loyalty of our patients. Dr. Donald Miller has always believed in a patient-first philosophy, a principle that has guided our practice since its inception. Dentistry has evolved tremendously over the past two decades, and we have made it our mission to remain at the forefront of these advancements. Being on the cutting edge allows us to provide you with confident, beautiful smiles, and doing so is a privilege we do not take lightly.
The ribbon-cutting event was made even more special by the presence of key community figures who have been part of our story. We were delighted to welcome Mark Barnhart, Director of Community & Economic Development for the Town of Fairfield; Jennifer Leeper, CT State Representative; and Beverly Balaz and Katelyn Thaler from the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce. Their presence underscored the strong community bonds we have built. We also extend our thanks to local business leaders like Jessica McCormack of Fairfield Moms and Al DiGuido of Saugatuck Sweets, whose support means the world to us. This celebration was a reflection of the incredible Fairfield community that has embraced us for so long.
Introducing the TMJ Relief Center
One of the most exciting parts of our anniversary celebration was the official grand opening of our new TMJ Relief Center. We have long specialized in TMJ and bite alignment care, but the creation of this dedicated center allows us to expand our services and provide focused treatment for those suffering from the pain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint disorders. This new addition is a direct response to the growing healthcare needs we see in our patients.
Dr. Miller expressed our collective excitement, stating, "We are excited to mark this milestone by bringing the TMJ Relief Center to our practice, to our patients, and to all others who suffer from TMJ jaw pain and discomfort." Jaw pain, headaches, and other symptoms of TMJ disorders can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Our goal with the center is to provide a path to wellness, helping people achieve not only beautiful and healthy smiles but also pain-free ones. We believe this new facility will further establish our practice as a leader in comprehensive dental care. We are ready and eager for many more years of helping you maintain a confident and comfortable smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ Relief
What are the common symptoms of a TMJ disorder?
TMJ disorders can present a wide variety of symptoms, which is why they are sometimes difficult to diagnose. The most common signs include pain or tenderness in your jaw, aching pain in and around your ear, difficulty or pain while chewing, and locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth. Some people also experience a clicking or grating sensation when they move their jaw, chronic headaches, and facial pain.
How do you treat TMJ disorders?
Treatment for TMJ disorders varies depending on the severity and cause of your symptoms. For many, relief can be found through non-invasive therapies. At our TMJ Relief Center, we may recommend custom-fitted oral appliances or night guards to prevent teeth grinding and clenching, which can alleviate pressure on the jaw joint. We also focus on bite alignment correction. In other cases, physical therapy, stress management techniques, or specific medications might be suggested. Our approach is to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs for effective and long-lasting relief.
