Within a matter of weeks I have gone from not being able to finish a meal, jaw locking up, severe nighttime pain, and shooting ear pain to having absolutely no symptoms at all! I feel like a new person. I cam eat and sleep again…thanks to a little piece of plastic and Dr Urbanek!

I am so thankful my dentist sent me here, suspecting my severe gum pain and headaches were a result of a TMJ problem. I had had medical tests, including a brain MRI, trying to diagnose my severe head and gum pain, which as though my teeth were hurting. After wearing the device made my me at the Urbanek clinic a week and a half to 2 weeks, my pain was resolved completely. It was truly amazing.

After just 3 short weeks of wearing Dr Urbanek’s night guard I now have very little jaw issues and am now able to go off a soft food diet. Thank you so much Dr. Urbanek.

When I first came into the office I was in extreme pain with my jaw. I was coughing and my jaw locked up and I could not close my mouth. I was desperate so I went to my dentist and she referred me to Dr. Urbanek. He was so very helpful and made me understand how important it was for me to start eating again. I was fitted with my TMJ device. He explained to me that it wasn’t an overnight fix. Now it’s over a year later and my jaw is back to where it needs to be. I would like to Thank everyone at this office , they are wonderful. Jennifer W

After receiving my device and wearing it 24/7 for the first two weeks, I noticed the pain I previously had was gone. I no longer had the headaches or jaw pain. I’m thankful Dr. Urbina identified that it was TMJ that I had and recommended this mouthpiece. I never realized I was a clincher, which caused the underlying problems. Three weeks into wearing it and my pain is gone completely. I’m so thankful for this non surgical, non-medicated treatment option to TMJ.

Before starting the device I struggled with severe popping of the jaw and even locking. I would just be doing everyday tasks like brushing my teeth when the locking occurred. I experienced profound pain in my jaw when the locking occurred . After receiving the device all my pain and popping in my jaw was adjusted and I no longer experience any of the symptoms I had prior to starting the device. Overall I am very happy with my experience and would recommend this for others experiencing the same thing.

- Summer E

I was having disturbing jaw locking without provocation. Then the jaw began to pop every time I ate, and sometimes when I spoke. Eventually, pain set in. I found relief with this device! It’s wonderful!

- Lynne M

I came in very frustrated with my jaw and ear issues and left extremely happy and healed. The pain and ear inflammation are practically gone. I felt that I was heard when I expressed my concerns and the doctor was amazing because of his compassion and the time he took with me at each visit to address the challenges I faced. I am eternally grateful.

I came in with pain in jaw joints with popping and a lisp that had formed. Since wearing the device my jaw has settled back and I no longer have pain in my joints or headaches from clenching my jaw.

I have suffered with TMJD for 40+ years with exacerbation of symptoms in the recent months to include constant headaches, shoulder, neck and arm pain and nearly unbearable pain when opening my mouth. Fast forward to 3 weeks after being fitted with the Urbanek device and I am pain free! Headaches - gone! Neck, shoulder and arm pain - gone! This treatment has restored my quality of life; that is no exaggeration.

There are so many things that I could say, but let’s just start with I’ve been coping with TMJ now for over 10 years. If you’re reading this then we all know how TMJ affects every aspect of our lives. Not only is it so painful for me it was debilitating I could barely get out of bed the headaches were out of control my children were suffering I had went prior and could not be assisted because I have an upper denture. That was the worst news, and my son was 4 months old then, now he is 9! In the beginning the pain was there and like all moms we push through, we do what we Gotta do, and the end of last year 2024 I decided to make a change! I found TMJ services of Brentwood through social media and a friend. Not many people know I have an upper plate! Understandably I’m sure! When I first made the call a lady name KJ answer the phone, and when you talk about answering the phone with a smile that’s definitely every lady in this office! The consultation was free so I thought why not, i’ve tried everything else from over the counter pain medication to store-bought mouthguards , I almost cried when I explain to her how I couldn’t cope any longer…actually I did cry! She got me in literally within a couple of days where I have usually had to wait weeks for a Appointment. I came, Dr.Urbina discussed options, and I got fitted for my device that day! I am such a skeptic I hate that about myself however this device has changed my life not only within a week did it stop my headaches completely/ I noticed my neck and shoulders stopped hurting so much! Dr. Urbina, very direct with delivery of his plan for my journey was such a relief. Dr. Urbina explained exactly what I needed to know and understand, he gave me a timeline on my individual issues and not only did I get the device implant, he’s continuing to help me through this journey to make me feel good about the way I look! I can tell you that was a bonus! My journey through this is nowhere near done and because of my individuality I will continue to wear my mouthpiece every night a grinding clinch in my sleep but now I’m confident, healthy mindset, and no more pain! When you have TMJ pain the way you look is the last thing you could care about so that’s an added bonus. Not only is this affordable as a single mom of two it’s essential for me and I felt like it’s essential for me to share with you guys. Julie help me with my financial situation and I don’t have the best credit she made it work for my payments are affordable and in general she is a pleasure to be around they all are thanks so much guys I really appreciate all you’ve done! Regards from a pain free patient! Sam

I came in the office with jaw pain so bad I would have migraines. Since using this device, my jaw pain has deceased immensely and I am no longer having migraines. Very thankful for this doctor and office staff.

This jaw splint has been a game changer. I’ve always clenched my jaw and ground my teeth in my sleep. My dentist kept giving me night mouth guards and I would bite through them, sometimes within one month! It was extremely frustrating, not to mention expensive. She eventually offered Botox injections into my jaw muscles but those also did nothing to alleviate the problem and turned out to be another unnecessary expense at $400 per treatment. I was skeptical that this device would help, after already having received 6 rounds of Botox and bitten through 5 mouth guards in 2 years. Turns out this splint worked differently by not allowing my back teeth to touch it or each other. That was always where the mouth guards would break. Two months after wearing this device day and night (24/7), my jaw has shown amazing improvement. I no longer get the chronic neck pain and headaches that I had simply accepted as part of life. My hands also used to get numbness and tingling for no reason, and now that the inflammation of my jaw has improved I no longer experience that nerve pain. I wish my dentist had referred me to TMJ Services years ago. I’m just thankful she did finally and I am so grateful for the change. I think many other patients could benefit from this device, if only their health care providers knew about this solution.

My experience with the Urbanek device has been mostly successful. After about 6 months or wearing it, my symptoms are 80% gone. I no longer have jaw pain or headaches. The only symptom I still deal with is a jaw joint problem, which is due to a jaw growth issue I have. I am glad that my symptoms have diminished and hope to see them continue to diminish.

- Makayla M

I am incredibly thankful for finally finding relief with Dr. Urbanek’s help and the TMJ device. It worked fantastically and elated to have diminished symptoms.

In the spring of 2024, I began to notice that at every meal my jaw was locking out of place. I went to my dentist to figure out what was going on and he referred me to Dr.Urbanek. It was at my first appointment speaking to Dr. Urbanek that I realized all of my symptoms that I have had going on my whole life was all a result of TMJ- migraines, gravel noise, locked jaw, and inner ear pain. Dr. Urbanek’s plan and device has helped me tremendously and I am so happy to finally know AND understand what TMJ is and how it uniquely affects me. Thank you Dr. Urbanek for helping me and my jaw!

When I came here for the first time I couldn’t eat anything but soup or chili or something very soft. Every time I ate I would get a headache from chewing. Since I started wearing the device I now can eat whatever I want to and the headaches are completely gone. I wish I would have known about this sooner and I wouldn’t have had to suffer as long as I did.

- Ronnie F

I honestly had no idea that I had any issues beforehand but was recommended to make an appointment here due to an X Ray from my dentist. The Dr is amazing, the staff is so kind as well. I was very nervous and uncertain at my first appointment. My TMJ muscle was practically deteriorated, and I was constantly having to unhinge my jaw to eat, I had headaches constantly and my jaw was always SO sore. The first 3 weeks I noticed a drastic change. It’s been around 3 months now and I don’t struggle to eat, my head hurts ONLY when I need to eat, and my ears never feel clogged either even with the weather changing like crazy. I’m very grateful they discovered this option as a treatment for TMJ and it should be used far more often. I hope this practice gets the recognition it truly deserves for this device. 🙂

What brought me into the office was chronic ear pain, dizziness, headaches, and jaw popping. I thought the jaw popping was from a jaw corrector in my youth but the other symptoms I thought was ear infections. After seeing an ENT and my ears being fine he referred me to TMJ services. My first visit was very informative and I was scanned for my device. After a few months of wearing my device I have seen sufficient improvement in all my above symptoms. I have been very happy with my treatment and it’s wonderful not to be dealing with the chronic ear pain.

- Leslie R

It took years of multiple doctors and misdiagnosis to get to TMJ services. Because of that, my pain and discomfort levels had increased so bad that it hurt to chew. Another ent did sinus and ear surgery before ever bringing up TMJ. I suffered for too long. The dental device and TMJ services truly changed my life. My pain and symptoms decreased by 90% or more. I am so grateful for everyone at TMJ Services and the work they do for their patients!
