Dental Veneers & TMJ: A Life-Changing Solution ✨
Hello, I’m Dr. Mike Gallagher, and I feel truly humbled and grateful every day 🙏 to practice a kind of dentistry that doesn’t just restore smiles, it transforms lives. One of the ways I’ve been able to do this is through the use of dental veneers, especially composite veneers, in helping patients with TMJ disorder.

Most people think veneers are only for cosmetic purposes, but in truth, they can play a critical role in restoring the shape and function of teeth when treating TMJ. A “bad bite,” or malocclusion, often contributes to TMJ symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, or teeth grinding. By restoring the teeth to their proper form, veneers can help create harmony in the bite ⚖️, which relieves stress on the joints and muscles.

For over 10 years, I’ve used composite veneers as a conservative and affordable option for patients. When the jaw is stable, these veneers can last for years while also giving patients a natural, healthy smile 😁. Of course, I still offer porcelain veneers for those who prefer them, but I’m grateful to be able to provide composite veneers as an option that balances beauty, function, and affordability.

My Journey in TMJ Care
For more than 25 years, I’ve dedicated myself to studying and treating TMJ Disorder, a condition that affects nearly 10 million Americans. It’s a misunderstood problem, often misdiagnosed, yet it causes tremendous suffering. My journey has taken me through extensive training with respected leaders in dentistry, from the Dawson Center to the OBI Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry, where I completed Level 3 Bioesthetic Treatment.

The guiding principles of Bioesthetic dentistry, stabilizing the jaw joint, ensuring proper guidance of the front teeth, and restoring teeth to their biologic form, have shaped the way I care for patients. It’s been a privilege to witness hundreds of individuals find relief after years of pain. Each story reminds me how impactful this work is and how fortunate I am to serve in this way.

Treatment That Restores More Than Teeth
When patients first come to me, many are exhausted from chronic pain, worn or fractured teeth, or years of clenching and grinding. The first step is often stabilizing the bite with MAGO Therapy, a non-invasive oral appliance approach. Once the jaw is stable, we can restore teeth with veneers to rebuild proper form and function.

Composite veneers are not only functional but also carry many benefits:
✅ More conservative than porcelain
✅ Lower cost and faster treatment
✅ Natural looking and versatile
✅ Durable and protective against further wear

The best part? Patients not only regain proper function but also enjoy a brighter, healthier smile 🌟.

It’s deeply moving to see how their confidence and quality of life improve along with their dental health.

A Grateful Calling
Dentistry, for me, has never been just about fixing teeth, it’s about restoring health, comfort, and hope 💙.

I’m humbled by the trust patients place in me and grateful to be part of their journey toward healing. Helping people smile again without pain is one of the greatest privileges of my life.

🦷 Struggling with TMJ Pain? Let’s Talk. 💬
Hi, I’m Dr. Mike Gallagher, DDS and for over 30 years, I’ve had the honor of helping patients find relief from TMJ disorder and the pain that comes with it.

TMJ is complex, and no two cases are the same. That’s why I’ve created a dedicated one-hour TMJ Consultation for $150, an opportunity for you to sit down with me, one-on-one, and finally be heard. No rush, no pressure - just a compassionate conversation customized to you. 💙

During this time, I’ll review your symptoms, answer questions, explore proven treatment options and help you understand your condition with clarity and care. If you’ve seen other providers or are seeking a second opinion, this consultation may be the missing piece in your journey toward relief.

My training and passion for TMJ care go deep. I’ve spent decades immersed in continuing education, including advanced training with the OBI Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry, where I am a proud Level 3 graduate. OBI is a global leader in biologic, minimally invasive dentistry focused on restoring harmony to the chewing system using nature’s design. 🌿

This journey began when I saw how often patients were being passed around without real answers, often dismissed with a bite guard and told to “wait it out.” I knew there had to be more, and today I am humbled to say I’ve been part of hundreds of success stories, helping people restore their lives, function, and joy.

❤️ You can read many of these testimonials on our Google reviews or view video stories on my website. I am deeply grateful to each patient who has trusted me with this intimate part of their life, and for sharing their healing journey to help others find hope.
If you’ve been living in pain, wondering if anyone truly understands what you're going through, please know you’re not alone, and you deserve answers.

👉 Schedule your $150 TMJ Consultation today. It’s time to take the first step toward healing and hope. For more information on TMJ, our diagnosis process and treatment plan, please contact my office at 952-942-9600.

If you’re like most people you probably enjoy having a couple snacks each day in between meals. The human body needs food about every three or four hours to maintain optimal functionality. This is why we start to get hungry during the time between lunch and dinner.

Most people have a tendency to snack on items like chips, nuts, and granola bars because they’re convenient. However, if you have TMJ Disorder, snacks like these can be bad for your health. Hard, crunchy, and chewy snacks cause the jaw to work harder and can result in TMJ pain.

Fortunately, there are still many healthy foods you can enjoy that won’t impact your TMJ health. Below, I’ve listed some refreshing summer snacks that individuals with TMD can enjoy worry-free.

TMJ-Friendly Snacks for Summertime:
Just because you have TMD doesn’t mean you have to go hungry in between meals. Stay energized, healthy, and happy with these nutritious TMJ-friendly summertime snacks!

Enjoy Some Delicious Grilled Vegetables:
Fruits and vegetables are light, healthy, and packed with nutrients, which makes them great summertime snacks. However, if you have TMJ Disorder, you may want to avoid eating certain items like carrots, apples, and celery in their raw form. Instead, try grilling your veggies to soften them up. They’ll taste just as good, but will put significantly less strain on your jaw.

Cottage Cheese is a favorite TMJ-friendly protein snack for my Eden Prairie patients:
If you’re feeling low on energy, you may feel tempted to grab a protein bar as a quick snack. But think about how hard your jaw muscles are going to have to work to break down its super chewy texture. You may want to rethink your choice of protein. As an alternative, you could eat cottage cheese instead. Cottage cheese is high in protein, low in sugar, and is fairly soft. This makes it a great TMJ-friendly snack.

Fresh Juices & Smoothies, Great for you and Fun for your Kids and Grandkids:
What could possibly be more refreshing on a hot summer day than a delicious fruit smoothie?! Smoothies are a great snack if you have TMJ because you can enjoy all your favorite fruits without having to worry about them putting stress on your jaw or chewing muscles. You can even toss in some veggies if you’d like! Or, opt for a green smoothie made from spinach, kale, and other leafy greens. You can make it a fun activity for your kids or grandkids and let them choose all their ingredients and learn about healthy fruits and vegetables and how mixing them is delicious.

Foods High in Potassium are really good for your chewing muscles!
Did you know that potassium helps regulate muscle contractions in your body? That’s why soft foods that are high in potassium are an excellent option for people with TMJ Disorder. Snacks like bananas and cooked sweet potatoes can provide the extra potassium that TMJ sufferers need to keep their chewing muscles healthy.

Caffeine-Free Drinks:
Many people drink beverages like iced coffee and tea during the summer in an effort to stay cool. However, if you have TMD, you should avoid beverages that are high in caffeine. These drinks are notorious for causing teeth grinding and jaw pain. Instead, opt for something caffeine-free like herbal tea, lemonade, or flavored water to quench your thirst.
