Colleen A.

"Making the decision to go and see Dr Patel has been life-changing. I suffered from burning sensation/nerve pain along jaw and experienced tooth sensitivity for several years. Tried physical therapy, massage therapy, and numerous trips to the dentist to figure things out to reduce the pain / discomfort I was having. Three weeks after using the custom-made clench guard from Dr Patel, my pain/ discomfort has been reduced significantly. I am so happy I finally made decision to see a TMJ specialist, and specifically Dr Patel. Thank you!"

"I have been living with pain in my jaw, headaches and trouble getting restful sleep for many years. I have managed with different techniques throughout the years most recently Botox. But when the Botox wears off after a few months my symptoms come back. I came to see Dr. Patel because I was looking for a more permanent solution for relief. After 1 week of wearing my device I am sleeping better, have no pain in my jaw or headaches. I wish I came sooner. Thank you to Dr. Patel and all the wonderful staff here at the center."

"I have recommended many to see Dr. Patel. I suffered my whole life with jaw issues. From clenching to grinding. My jaw was completely inflamed and causing me massive pain. The response from Dr. Patel’s treatment was instant. This was worth everything. Not to mention doctors knowledge and knowledge expertise. He has a lovely staff alongside him that make you feel comfortable and welcome."

"I was experiencing a lot of jaw pain and an increase in headaches prior to coming to Dr. Patel. Within a couple of weeks of wearing the appliance, my pain was so much better! I am now 6 months into wearing the appliance only at night and I am happy to report that I am pain free! The entire team is fantastic, I highly recommend them!"

"Dr Patel is the absolute best in the diagnosis & treatment of TMJ disorders. Only after a very short period of time I was able to open wide and I was pain free after years of discomfort. Not only am I a very grateful patient but I also am a dentist. Dr Patel is well respected & an expert in his field. He has many years of experience…very talented, caring, dedicated, knowledgeable, & bright. I can attest to Dr Patel’s overwhelming success in treating thousands of the most complicated of cases. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Dr Patel to anyone & everyone suffering from TMJ disorder like I was."

Stella k.

"I had very bad jaw problems and pain and my dentist couldn’t help my problems as they got worse so I felt very helpless. I was referred here by my dentist and I was at the point where I was in extreme pain everyday, but then after only one week of wearing my appliance my jaw pain significantly decreased. Definitely worth a visit!! I’m very satisfied with my results so far and I’m excited for my jaw to feel even better!! 🤩🤩"

Treatments to Keep You Comfortable

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low levels of light to stimulate healing. For Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ), it is used to alleviate pain and inflammation caused by the disorder. The therapy operates on a cellular level by absorbing the laser light, which triggers biological reactions that promote the healing process. It's a pain-free treatment that can offer relief to those suffering from TMJ without the need for surgery or medication.

Tensing

A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit is often used as a non-invasive treatment method for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders. It works by sending low-voltage electrical currents through electrodes placed on the skin near the affected area. These pulses help reduce muscle tension and stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, thus providing relief from TMJ-related pain. Use of a TENS unit may help alleviate symptoms such as jaw pain or headaches and improve jaw function, contributing to an overall better quality of life.

Unlockings

If you have a locked jaw or limited mouth opening, you may benefit from an unlocking procedure. Dr. Patel conducts thorough evaluations to see if an unlocking procedure might be successful. If that determination is made, the procedure is simple. An injection or anesthetic is administered directly into the jaw joint, and with a series or jaw manipulations Dr. patel is able to unlock the jaw and restore mobility. In some cases, multiple attempts are necessary, and PRF therapy is recommended to reduce inflammation and increase healing.
