What a TMJ provider does in Eagle River

Eagle River, Alaska. The directory lists 2 organisations and 2 clinicians in Eagle River — 4 records in total, and has only a handful of listed records. The commonest NPI taxonomy here is oral and maxillofacial surgery, on 2 records. 99577 alone holds 2 of them. The temporomandibular joint is the hinge where the lower jaw meets the skull, with a cartilage disc between the bones and the closing muscles attached to the mandible. Jaw pain, clicking and locking usually come from that joint or those muscles rather than from the teeth themselves. Providers who treat it in Eagle River work out of offices spread across the state, and the taxonomy on the registry record is the only specialisation the registry itself records.

How to use the Eagle River list

Every entry below is an organisation in the federal NPI registry, carrying the address and phone number the registry holds. The listings cover 1 ZIP code in Eagle River. Every listed address sits in the same ZIP code. Every listed organisation on this page has at least one clinician attached in the registry, so you can see a name before you call. Every listing here carries a phone number from the federal registry. No listing on this page publishes opening hours, so call before travelling. 2 listings have coordinates on file, so every entries appear on the map. A clinician appears under an organisation only when the registry points the same phone, street, ZIP or name at both records. That is a registry match, not a verified employment history.

What to ask when you call an Eagle River office

The registry records what an organisation is, not what it treats, so one phone call settles most questions. Ask whether the practice sees jaw joint and orofacial pain problems, whether they take patients referred for a TMJ assessment, and what a first visit involves. With 2 clinicians attached to Eagle River records, you can name the person you are asking about before you call. Ask about insurance before you go: TMJ treatment runs through dental, medical and surgical routes, and Alaska coverage follows the plan rather than the procedure. If the office says it does not treat TMJ disorders, the state page still lists every Alaska organisation, and the near-me finder works from your own location or a ZIP code.
