“After 18 years of practicing dentistry and thousands of hours of continuing education, a recurring factor present for many of my patients was their experience with a breakdown of dentistry and chronic pain.
My studies have given me the resources to understand how muscles, TMJ position, posture, airway and the way teeth bite all go together like a gear system. That was the connection to understand why this was happening to these patients! The “ah-ha” moment!
My passion is to help you discover why your pain has happened, and then give you choices to get relief. TMJ+ is the name that embodies the source and the solution for your relief.”
-Dr. Becky Coats
Dr. Becky Coats began private practice in general dentistry in 2004 in Grapevine, Texas as Grapevine Dental Care where she provided family and cosmetic dentistry until 2008.
In 2009, Grapevine Dental Care moved into the custom designed and high-tech equipped location Dr. Becky Coats still serves you in today.
In July 2018, Dr. Coats changed her business name to TMJ Plus to better connect the public with how she practices dentistry differently.Dr. Coats is personally impacted by the way TMJ disorder can not only destroy the way teeth look and function but understands that people who suffer from TMJ disorder are all too familiar with its debilitating symptoms including endless expenses from temporary treatments, crippling pain that affects the entire body, and the inability to be fully present with family, friends, and work. The side effects are endless and life-altering and many TMJ disorder patients unfortunately go incorrectly diagnosed for years.
Her continued studies and a search for relief of her own symptoms led her to her purpose, to serve and end the pain for so many other people that suffer not only from daily pain of health complications from TMJ disorder, but also from the lifestyle effects of constantly being in pain. Those symptoms of being unfocused or being unavailable physically or emotionally sometimes result in difficult personal and professional relationships, inhibit advancement in careers or maintaining employment, or achieving overall health and wellness. Truly, TMJ disorder is a disruption to enjoying life.
She understands that options for treatment will depend on the individuals personal goals for relief, dental and total body health, as well as budget. She offers both immediate relief and long-term and long-lasting solutions for TMJ disorder.
Away from the office, Dr. Coats spends time with her family, is active in her daughters school, enjoys traveling, and going to concerts.

She graduated from Texas Tech University with her undergraduate degree and attended the University of Texas Health Science – San Antonio, where she received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree.
