I suffered from TMJ for over 15 years. Constant headaches, ringing in my ears, and aching jaw pain, as the worst of my symptoms. I was shuffled back and forth between doctors, dentists, and specialists; they had no way of helping me. Instead, they would tell me the pain would go away with age, and to take pain medication as needed. Since my pain was so unbearable, I was on a steady supply of ibuprofen and Tylenol; I worried for my liver. I was in agony until I went to Dr. Urbanzek. To my surprise, he did what no one else was able to do: he gave me an actual solution to stop my TMJ. It is called the Urbanek Device. If I wore it consistently, my TMJ torment would supposedly end. I was skeptical at first, especially as my jaw began to ache in new ways during the first two months during the adjustment period. However, once I reached about four months, a majority of my pain had stopped: my headaches were gone and my jaw does not ache anymore. To my amazement, I no longer needed to take pain medication. As time goes by, I am confident the rest of my symptoms will fade too. The Urbanek Device changed my life and saved my liver.

When I first started with TMJ services of Brentwood I was experiencing symptoms such as severe headaches when I opened my mouth at the dentist office or even when I sang in church. I was also having neck pain and and earaches which I could not explain. At times my jaw would lock open temporarily and it would cause great pain to get my jaw to return it to its regular position. When I ate my there was sometimes a popping sound. When I first got the device which I wore 24/7 for a few months, I started to get relief of from my severest symptoms. Now I rarely experience any of the original symptoms. It has changed my life greatly. I know that I will continue to wear my device to avoid the return of my symptoms.

A year ago I went to a general ENT doctor here in the area and ended up having what I thought at the time a necessary nasal surgery. Long story short I regret ever having that procedure done. Thankfully I was referred to Dr. Urbanek by another ENT specialist and learning just how the symptoms I was experiencing was a result of having major TMD. Dr Urbanek, gave me 3 options to correct everything and I opted into getting the splint. It’s been 3 weeks now of wearing constantly and I can honestly say that I went from having lots of headaches and grinding my teeth to hardly anything. I definitely have a whole new appreciation for this device and thankful to have this to help me deal with everything. Thank you so much Dr Urbanek, I really appreciate you and this device.

This device is a life changer! I’ll be honest I was a bit skeptical at first, because I had tried a different device several years ago that did not work for me. My symptoms of migraines, ringing in the ear, overall poor health due to not sleeping have been dramatically changed for the better. Now, I can not sleep unless I have the Urbanek splint in my mouth. It’s like a pacifier! My overall health has improved since I have been wearing this device.

Dr. Urbanek’sTMJ procedures/mouthpiece absolutely work! My first time was in the early 2000’s and it started with headaches. This time was early 2022 and unfortunately this round started by breaking a tooth in my sleep from clinching so hard. There was no question as to what to do…..go back to Doc for a new round of treatment. Today it has been right at a year for this round of treatment and I feel amazing and my mouth is totally aligned and pain free!

I had been grinding and clenching my teeth regularly and intensely since childhood and have tried many different solutions throughout the years. It wasn’t until I started to get obvious pain in my jaw and ears that I sought out another solution. I was getting shooting pains in my ears for months and after using the TMJ splint for even a few months, the pain has nearly stopped and happens very rarely. I’m very excited to finally have found something that’s helped me!

For years I suffered from jaw pain, ear pain, ear clogging/ringing, and other annoyances. I went to every type of doctor, dentist, and ENTs trying to figure out how to resolve it. Finally I found Dr. Urbanek through my dentist and started using his device. Within weeks several of my symptoms had reduced greatly. Now, 6 months later I’m nearly symptom free! The pain and ear issues only come around every so often and generally resolve after a night of resting my jaw with the device. I can happily say the device and treatment plan have reduced my symptoms by 80-90%! Thank you!

Since beginning my journey with TMJ, my mindset has completely changed from one year ago. Previously, I had worked with other dentists and used a variety of otc and specialty mouth pieces. I had been struggling with ear problems, jaw pain, constant doctor visits, and overall stress over my biting and pain. It has now been about 1 year working with Dr. Urbanek and his staff and using his TMJ device. I, the skeptic, can notably tell a significant improvement in my TMJ symptoms! Ear problems are reduced drastically during allergy seasons, jaw pain is so infrequent it’s hardly noticeable and the intensity is lessened by 100%, and no frequent doctor visits due to ear or jaw issues. Looking back, I can say that 90% of my symptoms are lessened or completely gone since using this appliance over the past year.

I had been have jaw issues for a few years. I asked my dentist about it and he correctly thought it was TMJ but at the time said there were not many options to treat it if it wasn’t too bad. In the last year I started to have ear issues that wouldn’t clear up. Especially my right ear. It felt like I was having fluid in that ear constantly. I visited my ENT and he determined there was nothing wrong with my ear but that it was TMJ. So I ended up here visiting Dr. Urbina and we decided to try the mouth guard. I am about 9 weeks out and my jaw issues have cleared up completely. I am also not experiencing any neck and shoulder pain anymore (for which I have been seeing a chiropractor for years on a monthly basis. ) My ear issues have definitely improved and I hope to clear up all the way soon.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial
I was experiencing extreme pain in my right ear which caused headaches for over six months. I went to urgent care thinking I had a ear infection, however I was informed that nothing was wrong with my ears. The doctor recommended I go back to my dentist because the problem was my teeth. Upon examining me and doing X-rays, my dentist recommended a root canal. After doing the root canal I noticed that the pain in my ear didn’t subside, so I went back to my dentist and it was recommended that I try something mouth guards from Amazon. I tried the guards off Amazon but the pain remained. By this time the headaches worsened, my jaw was locking, and the pain was so bad I was constantly in pain. I went back to my dentist and she referred me to Dr. Urbanek. When I came here everything changed, Dr Urbanek understand my story and explained what was happening and how it could be resolved. After following the doctors orders I started to get relief from the pain that I had been experiencing for almost two years. It’s hard to believe that in less that six months I’m 90% better. I am so thankful for the Urbanek Device, it really WORKS!

I came to Dr. Urbanek’s office with tenderness and pain in my jaw. Also my jaw popping very loudly when I chew had begun to concern myself and others sitting nearby. I had used a standard night guard for years to protect my teeth from the grinding but my jaw wasn’t getting better. After 2-3 months of using Dr. Urbanek’s guard the pain was gone. As time passed the popping grew significantly softer. My jaw will probably always pop from the ligament damage I’ve sustained, but now at 16 months I can’t remember the last time I even noticed it unless I was purposefully thinking about it. I wear the guard every night.

Patient Success Stories

I’ve had jaw issues since I was very young. My parents didn’t really know what caused it and it never caused pain so I just lived with it for a while. It wasn’t until I started dating my fiance, who would no longer sit beside me at the dinner table because of the popping, that I decided to seek out information about the popping. My dentist recommended Dr. Urbanek because he knew exactly what was wrong when I told him about my popping. Dr. Urbanek has easily become my favorite doctor to come to. He described all of my issues in simple terms that I could understand and took the time to listen to my concerns. I have been wearing my mouthpiece for almost 3 months, 24/7. I can say my jaw no longer pops on the right side and has slowed down on the left side.” M.G.
“After years of symptoms in just a matter of a few months my symptoms have greatly improved. I had developed many symptoms and was in a lot of pain and could barely open my mouth. It .only a few short months most of my symptoms had improved. No pain and could open my mouth. I hope to continue to improve.” D.F.
“What a Relief!! I was having so much pain with my TMJ that i consulted my dentist with needing a new mouth appliance . He recommended me to a Dr. Urbanek . He ask me all these questions & of course i had all the symptoms . It started about 35 years . I got hit in the jaw with a softball . I got married right before i turned 20 so it was in the first years of marriage that my jaws started locking when i would yawn . I got my first mouth piece & wore it day and night for about a year . I had it for about 3 or 4 years until i wore holes in it. I finally got another one . Had to keep getting it fixed . Finally it just didn’t fit right anymore . I went with out one for so long that i didn’t realize it was harming me more and more everyday. Headaches all the time, neck & shoulder pain . My jaws were getting so wore out that they were starting to lock up again and my ear started hurting . When the other ear started ringing ,popping & i got where i couldn’t hear good I had to do something !! I came & seen Dr.U got fitted for a different mouth piece. I have wore it for 3 weeks day and night and LET ME TELL YOU I AM FEELING like my old self again !! If you are having any problems please give him a call !!” Kim Davis
“No more headaches!! For many years I went to multiple doctors and was misdiagnosed for my headaches, ear ringing, and dizziness. Finally my primary doctor referred me to Dr. Urbanek. After that it was history. He turned my whole life around by giving me the splint. I was able to function on a daily basis without having all of my symptoms. If you have the same symptoms then I would recommend him to anyone. The splint will change your life.” Yolanda








“Before meeting Dr. Urbanek I’d suffered jaw pain and locking for years. In just the first 3 weeks I haven’t felt any jaw pain at all. The headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms have all but disappeared as well. It’s night and day from before receiving my device. I can’t thank Dr. Urbanek and his great team enough!” Katherine

“I was having severe jaw pain in jaw popping and was referred to Dr. Urbanek by another Doctor because I was clueless on what to do or where to go. I was told I needed to see a TMJ specialist and I asked my Doctor to send me to the best he knew, and he was a 100% correct, Dr Urbanek and his staff are the best.I went from 0 to 100% with Dr. Urbanek’s mouthpiece which had made to fit my mouth and my needs. By listening and doing everything he told me to do, it was well worth it. Now I don’t have to feel pain anymore. The mouthpiece looks and feels a lot like my own top denture and it didn’t take long to where I got comfortable wearing it. I can’t thank Dr. Urbanek and his staff enough for everything they have done for me! So again thank you all.” Penny
