Welcome to Advanced TMJ Maxillofacial Pain & Sleep Center
At Advanced TMJ Maxillofacial Pain & Sleep Center, we specialize in non-surgical, evidence-based care for TMJ disorders, orofacial pain, headaches, facial nerve pain, and sleep apnea. Led by a board-certified Orofacial Pain specialist, our Seattle-based clinic proudly serves patients from Seattle, Bellevue, Everett, Renton, and surrounding areas of the Puget Sound. Whether you're experiencing jaw clicking, migraines, nerve-related facial pain, or sleep-disordered breathing, we provide personalized diagnostics and treatment plans tailored to your needs.
​
Our specialty clinic combines advanced diagnostics with compassionate, evidence-based care. We are among the few clinics in the Seattle area focused on non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments for TMJ dysfunction, orofacial pain syndromes, and sleep-related breathing disorders like obstructive sleep apnea.
Conditions We Treat
TMJ disorders cause jaw pain, clicking, limited jaw movement, facial pain, neck tension, and chronic headaches. TMJ treatment can help.
Tight jaw or facial aches may be due to myofascial pain, a common muscle-based disorder causing chronic facial, jaw, and neck discomfort from trigger points.
As a dental sleep specialist, we treat sleep apnea with custom oral appliances—comfortable, effective CPAP alternatives that reduce snoring and improve sleep quality.
We specialize in treating chronic headaches and migraines linked to TMJ, muscle tension, nerve pain, and sleep disorders—when usual treatments don’t work.
Facial nerve pain can feel sharp, burning, or electric. We treat trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic pain, burning mouth, and lingering post-dental pain.
We also treat systemic orofacial pain that may affect multiple systems, arising from conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or long-COVID
