Q: What makes your practice unique?
A: We provide specialized, expert care in craniofacial disorders and sleep-related issues. Limiting my practice to these areas allows me to concentrate on what I do best: offering alternatives to surgery and pain medication. Our “concierge” service ensures personalized attention and compassionate care. We often collaborate with diverse specialists to uncover root causes and underlying issues to deliver precise diagnoses and optimal treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Q: What is your approach to care?
A: Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ/TMD) is an internal balance of the jaw joints that can create discomfort throughout the body, including popping, clicking, limited mouth opening, ringing in the ears, headaches, and even neck and back pain. We use appliance therapy to relieve pressure, correct alignment and restore balance. For sleep issues, customized dental appliances support the jaw, improve breathing, and reduce snoring, fatigue, headaches and more.
Q: What do you enjoy most about what you do?
A: Helping people get their lives back. Chronic pain can deeply impact personality and quality of life. Every day, we meet hopeless patients who have struggled for years, seen multiple doctors and are still searching for answers. Our innovative solutions transform lives, providing lasting relief and better overall well-being.
Q: What motivates you to share your expertise through global speaking engagements?
A: Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) affects patients of all ages and is not well understood. I’m passionate about educating both healthcare professionals and patients on its complexities and treatment options. This spring, I gave a presentation on the ALF appliance in Dublin, Ireland.
