Custom TMJ treatment to relieve jaw pain, headaches, and tooth wear with bite analysis, gentle appliances, and a clear step‑by‑step plan.
“We specialize in dental implants, including All-on-X full arch restorations, single tooth implants, and advanced implant-supported bridges, giving patients permanent, natural-looking solutions for missing teeth.
Dental implants and All-on-X provide a secure, long-lasting replacement for missing teeth, restoring natural function and confidence without the hassle of removable dentures.
Our advanced All-on-X full arch treatment replaces an entire row of teeth with only four to six implants, giving patients a complete smile in less time.
Implant crowns and bridges are custom-designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, so your smile looks and feels authentic.
Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth and helping to maintain natural facial structure. Done the right way.
With modern technology, digital scans, and minimally invasive techniques, most patients experience quicker healing and less discomfort after implant placement. The best in the business.

• “I’m tired of jaw pain and headaches but scared I’ll be pushed into surgery.” • “I don’t want to wear a bulky appliance I can’t sleep in.” • “I’m worried I’ll spend money and still feel the same.”
• We start with conservative, non‑surgical options first: custom splints, bite adjustments, and habit guidance. • Appliances are designed to be as slim and comfortable as possible, then adjusted over time so you can actually wear them. • We track your symptoms, jaw movement, and tooth wear over time and explain each step, so you can see if treatment is helping and what comes next.
• A calmer, more comfortable jaw with fewer flare ups and less tension. • Teeth that are better protected from grinding and clenching. • A clearer understanding of your bite and a long‑term plan to keep things stable.
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. TMJ disorder is when the joint, the muscles around it, or your bite aren’t working well together. It can cause jaw pain, clicking, headaches, ear fullness, or difficulty opening and closing.
TMJ issues can come from clenching or grinding, past dental work, bite misalignment, stress, injuries, arthritis, or airway and sleep problems. Often, it’s a mix of factors. That’s why we look at your joints, muscles, bite, and teeth together instead of blaming just one thing.
In most cases, no. We start with conservative care first, custom splints or night guards, bite adjustments, and simple habit and posture changes. Surgery is a last resort if nothing else helps and is almost never our first recommendation.
A custom splint is designed to support and relax your jaw joints and muscles while protecting your teeth from grinding. It can reduce strain on the TMJ and help us see how your jaw wants to sit when it’s not fighting tight muscles or a stressed bite.
We design our appliances to be as slim and smooth as possible, and we adjust them over time so they fit comfortably. It’s normal to notice them at first, but most patients adapt quickly and often feel better with the added support once their jaw starts to relax.
It depends on how long you’ve had symptoms and what’s causing them. Many patients notice some relief within weeks of wearing an appliance, but full treatment can take several months or longer. We’ll give you a phased plan with milestones so you know what to expect.
For many patients, yes. If your headaches or facial pain are related to clenching, grinding, or jaw tension, supporting the TMJ and adjusting the bite can reduce how often and how intensely those headaches show up. We’ll track your symptoms over time to see how you respond.
The first step is usually functional, relieving pain and protecting your teeth. If your teeth are already worn, chipped, or uneven from grinding, we can talk about restorative options like crowns or veneers after your joints and bite are more stable.
Coverage varies a lot between plans. Some see TMJ appliances as medical, others as dental, and some don’t cover them at all. We’ll provide an itemized plan and help you check your benefits and any payment options so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. We look beyond just one tooth or one joint and consider your bite, muscles, airway, habits, stress, and previous dental work. Our goal is to relieve pain, protect your teeth, and create a more stable, comfortable bite that fits your overall health goals.
Every patient starts with a one-on-one consultation using digital scans and advanced imaging, so we can understand your needs and design a treatment plan tailored to you.
You’ll receive a detailed Free Treatment Plan that explains all options, costs, and timelines upfront, giving you full clarity and confidence before any work begins.
Our team uses sedation dentistry, digital impressions, and in-house technology like same-day crowns to deliver gentle, efficient, and precise treatments with less downtime.
We monitor your progress and provide ongoing care to ensure your results last, from follow-up visits to long-term maintenance plans designed for healthy smiles.
I see Dr. DiCaprio at Smile Magic. I'm old, and he is the best dentist I've ever had. Very knowledgeable, very pleasant. I have a jaw issue, and he knew what I needed to do. I've been seeing Dr. DiCaprio for several years. His prices are very fair!

I have been going to Dr. DiCaprio for many years. He is an excellent dentist that is gentle and kind.The new office is beautiful and has a great staff that are friendly and efficient.
I’m new to this area and had a dental emergency. They were able to see me the following day. Dr. DiCaprio took great care of me. He was gentle and provided me with the various options for my situation. I’m very satisfied with the office environment and service.
I had one extraction of a tooth the other day and at the same time I had three inserts put in for tooth implants to be installed in a few months. It was a great and painless experience and Dr. Nazir is amazing and I would highly recommend him.
My visit to Smile Magic and Dr Di Caprio went very well. I look forward to to the next visit and fixing my smile! Thanks. Gary Jones
I hand a dental emergency and they were able to see me an hour after my call. After an xray and exam, i was seen by the oral surgeon who artfully handled an extremely difficult extraction. The care and speed were simply outstanding!
Dr DiCaprio is an amazing dentist. He is honest and trust worthy. I wish I had found him sooner.
Dr D is a GREAT dentist. Absolutely the best. He’s been our family dentist for over twenty years. Staff is polite friendly and efficient. The office is alway super clean. Just spotless.
Dr.Nazir and the staff are excellent. They always make our family feel comfortable and at home. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Been a patient for 11 years.
Dr. Nazir is just the doctor I needed. He takes a holistic approach to dentistry and doesn’t treat symptoms tooth by tooth. He sees the big picture and how your whole mouth contributes to your overall well-being. So thankful for doctors like him!
Wow!! What a first for me…instead of X-rays Smile Magic actually took pictures of my teeth showing me what they see and to me that made it very clear as where I needed to work better at cleaning & softer at brushing. Then the cleaning was incredibly thorough. they even checked my throat and glands for any thyroid swelling I was super happy with my care at Smile Magic!
Actually the staff seems to be well experienced… Quite happy with Smile Magic.
Dr DiCaprio is calm, professional and gentle. 14 years now
Dr. DiCaprio was great! Gentle, caring, compassionate, thorough and informative. He was highly recommended, I am so glad I went to see him! Smiles~ D~
They are very friendly and made my daughter feel comfortable about having her wisdom teeth pulled
As always, my dental care with Dr Joe DiCaprio at Smile Magic Dentistry, 601 Dover, Newport Beach, CA, was superb! The office staff is amazing! 5 stars is not enough!!!
The best doctor and lovely staff.
Excellent dentistry! Very personable & informative throughout my visit.
The staff was so friendly and professional. Dr. Di Caprio takes his time to give you the best care. I recommend him often to friends.
Amazing dentist!! Dr DiCaprio is a pro! He’s been my dentist and my son’ for over 10 years. He is gentle, caring and honest . The dentist’s and staff at Smile Magic are all amazing! Bronwyn
Great review of Smile Magic Dentistry!! Dr. Oz was very knowledgeable and personable with my dental examination. Really appreciated the professional care. I’ve been going to Smile Magic for several years now and I can’t say enough the high quality of care
It seems that I add the same post, but that’s because my visits are always the same…WONDERFUL! Dr DiCaprio at Smile Magic Dentistry is the Wizard of Dental Care! As always, I had a pain free and comfortable dental visit. The whole staff is remarkable! 5 stars is not enough!!!
No communication that the dentist doing my cleaning would delay my appointment by 30 minutes. I sat in the chair waiting all that time while he dealt with an emergency walk in. Somebody should have called me to delay my coming in or at least told me while I waited for “the emergency” which was a veneer replacement. Usually very satisfied with my care and the staff
Great service as always! Thank you so much!
Dr. Joe DiCapprio did an amazing job as always. I’m 60 years old and my 40 year old large fillings (from other dentists) are starting to fail now. Dr. Joe did an amazing job on my 3rd Crown yesterday.
My experience at Smile Magic Dentistry has been amazing! Everything is neat, clean and top of the line. The dentist are extremely skilled and highly professional. I wish they were closer to San Diego!
Excellent communication, timely appointment and procedure. Great dentist.
