TMJ: Costs/Insurance
Because TMJ is difficult to diagnose and treat, insurance may not cover TMJ treatments. Total costs will vary considerably, depending on what procedures you have done, and how long treatment is necessary. Before undergoing any treatment, it is best to check with your insurance company to see which procedures are covered.

The cost of splints, which are frequently used in the treatment of TMJ, are usually covered by many health or dental plans. Because they are specially fitted and manufactured, they range in price from $600.00 to $2,000.00, depending on the type used. Be sure to check with your insurance company ahead of time to see which types are covered under your specific plan.
