A Specialized Approach to Facial Pain
Drawing on their combined expertise, our oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orofacial pain specialists focus on identifying and treating the underlying causes of TMJ disorders, facial pain, and nerve-related conditions, rather than just managing symptoms.

Comprehensive Care for TMJ, Facial Pain & Nerve Conditions
Our multi-specialty team offers a complete range of treatments, from conservative therapies to advanced surgical care, to address jaw, facial, and nerve-related pain.
Conservative TMJ Treatment
Ease TMJ pain and tension with gentle, non-surgical care that relaxes muscles and restores comfort. From custom splints to targeted injections, our specialists help reduce TMJ pain and improve function with conservative TMJ care.
TMJ Surgery
When jaw pain stems from structural problems that can’t be fixed with conservative care, our surgeons use advanced TMJ surgical approaches to repair and realign the joint, relieving pain and restoring smooth movement.
Orofacial Pain Management
By uncovering the root cause of chronic pain in your face, head, and jaws, our orofacial pain specialists can create effective treatment plans to restore function, reduce pain, and help you regain a sense of normalcy.
Trigeminal Nerve Repair
When facial numbness or nerve pain follows a dental procedure, implant, or facial injury, our specialists provide advanced diagnosis and microsurgical treatment to restore sensation and help relieve pain.
Uniquely Qualified for Complex Pain
When it comes to complex facial pain, few teams are as uniquely qualified as a combination of an orofacial pain specialist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Orofacial Pain Specialists complete years of advanced training beyond dental school focused exclusively on the diagnosis and management of facial pain, TMJ disorders, headaches that originate from the bite and jaw, and nerve-related conditions.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons bring an equally rigorous background in the anatomy and surgery of the face and jaws, with expertise in corrective procedures, joint repair, and advanced imaging and treatment approaches.
Together, our specialists form a comprehensive care team with a dual perspective that allows for the most accurate diagnosis, a wider range of treatment options, and individualized care that addresses both the source and the symptoms of pain for lasting relief.
We See the Whole Picture & the Whole Person
What makes our approach truly stand out is the combination of advanced expertise and genuine, patient-centered care.
Our surgeons and pain specialists bring exceptional skill and precision to every treatment plan, but just as importantly, they bring a deep personal commitment to helping you heal.
Many of our doctors chose this specialty because they understand how significantly chronic pain can affect every part of life, and that understanding drives their passion to provide solutions that create lasting, life-changing relief.
