Dr. Thomas J. (TJ) Bolt graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 1984. He received his undergraduate degree in Biology from Creighton University in 1979. He opened his first dental practice in 1984. In 2002, he relocated his practice from 90th and Fort Street to its current location.
While developing his practice in Omaha he also worked as part-time clinical instructor at the Creighton University School of Dentistry until 1994. His love of knowledge and commitment to his patients, sent him on a journey of continual learning that includes completion of the continuums at the prestigious LD Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida and as well as the completion of all of the programs at The Schuster Center in Scottsdale, AZ.
Many times people suffer from sore muscles and joints. They have frequent headaches and the jaw joints pop and click with pain. There must be a good relationship between the teeth, chewing muscles, and joints. If the relationship is out of balance, a person can suffer. You do not have to suffer.
There are many people who are given night guards to try and help them feel better from headaches and TMD symptoms. These either make the problem worse or at best, have minimal affect at relieving discomfort. They do not get to the cause of the problem and will cause further damage to the joints.
We are committed to the effective treatment of the destructive effects of occlusal disease. We use a novel and exciting presentation tool called BiteFX that uses friendly animations to explain problems in a way that makes sense to the patient. With BiteFX, our patients quickly understand complicated concepts that were previously difficult and time consuming to explain. We can also combine photos of your mouth with the BiteFX animations to give you an even better appreciation of our treatment recommendations.
There must be a good relationship between the teeth, chewing muscles, and joints. If the relationship is out of balance, a person can suffer. We can help you get to the cause of the problem. You do not have to suffer.

Dr. Bolt is very knowledgeable "all around", how to solve the issue causing problems instead of just temporary fix. "What's causing the problem...?" He will fix it. Very knowledgeable staff to assist!

Dr. Bolt and his staff are amazing. They're kind, genuinely caring, and know what they're doing. Had splitting pain from bite issues and he fixed my bite like noone else could, and changed my life. Would recommend to anyone.

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Dr. Bolt and his team. I had my jaw lock up a few years ago. Prior to that I had been asking other dentists about why I was having jaw problems and nobody could answer it. My first visit to see Dr. Bolt he knew how to resolve the issue and he took the time to be sure I understood the issue and the plan to resolve it. I went through his program and haven't had any jaw issues since and I also now see him for my regular dentistry. I highly recommend Dr. Bolt especially if you have any kind of jaw issues.

Dr. Bolt REALLY knows what he's doing. He has been my dentist for years. Originally I saw him for a TMJ problem, which he fixed so well, I haven't had issues with it since, even the headaches went away. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because he isn't in my network for insurance so it is pricey, but I found it was worth the investment. Thanks Dr. Bolt!
