Our Latest Patient Testimonial
Starting around 15 years of age I was having pain in my left side of my jaw, making it very difficult to fully open or close my mouth. Numerous dentists told me it was just a flare and would fix itself. I spent 15 years in pain on and off. With every flare up it would be more severe and last longer. One dentist tried to get me to wear a head piece every morning and night to attempt to fix it. I would tell my dentist every six months about the pain and would get nowhere. The last flare that caused me to search out real help lasted from June until October, which is when I finally came to TMJ services of Brentwood and got my mouth piece. This piece has been the only thing that has EVER helped, including trying NSAIDs and even opioids. Wearing the mouth piece 24/7 was daunting at first but quickly became worth it. I hope more dentists can see the symptoms and results and get people the real help they need quicker.

I had been in so much pain before coming to this office. I was back and forth to the dentist as well as the Endodontist thinking my pain was coming from one tooth. I even had the tooth pulled which I regret! After getting the tooth pulled the pain was still there so my Endodondist referred me to Dr. Urbanek’s office. Since coming here for less than a year and getting fitted for this device that keeps me from clenching my teeth together at night unknowingly, my pain and headaches have subsided tremendously. I was a little skeptical at first but I’m glad I gave it a try. Thank you so much for helping me get rid of the pain!!!

I have been struggling with jaw pain and headaches for the majority of my life. I have asked countless doctors and dentists what to do with my jaw pain, and I got little to no care. There were points when the pain was so bad I could barely open my mouth. Now I have significantly less headaches and little jaw pain. I am so thankful for the treatment I had here,

So thankful I found TMJ Services of Brentwood and Dr. Urbina, and their wonderful staff! I knew I was grinding my teeth at night and had discussed this with my dentist for several years, and they had fitted me with a night guard. While that helped to protect my teeth from breakage, it did not stop the symptoms of the grinding such as the pain in the teeth, jaw, joint, ear or the huge, painful knots that I would get in the back of my neck behind my ear. My dentist eventually referred me, and the guard device that they created for me brought immediate relief and, thankfully, my symptoms reduced until they were all gone. It has been life changing! Thank you Dr. Urbina!

I came in to get help with the pain I was experiencing from TMJ. I had headaches all the time, muscle pain in my neck and shoulder, ear pain, and occasional dizziness. I wasn’t sleeping well and was very irritable. I was so excited to receive my device after I met with Dr. Urbanek. I wore my device consistently as recommended and and felt changes occurring within the first three days. After three weeks, I do not have headaches, ear pain, or neck pain. The results have been life changing. I occasionally have some muscle pain still if I catch myself clenching my teeth but it subsides as my awareness of the issue grows. I am incredibly happy with the choice to move forward with this device and I’m a firm believer that it is life changing for me. ..

I was in a lot of pain when I first came here several months ago. I’m virtually pain free now. Had I worn the device as I was instructed to from the very beginning, I’m sure I would have improved much quicker. After starting to wear the device for about a month, I made the mistake of reading the reviews and saw some bad reviews so I stopped wearing it. Then after a few weeks I decided to go back and have them address all my concerns. Thank goodness I did! This time my appointment was with Dr. Urbina. What a God send! Such a kind, patient and knowledgeable Doctor. He took a lot of time addressing all my concerns. I went home and followed his advice and now I feel great.

On my initial visit, I had terrible pain in my jaw, headaches, ear pain and the constant sound in my ears of grinding bone. It hurt to chew and yawn and I couldn’t open my mouth wide. I think my treatment took a little longer than most but after 14 months, I feel virtually pain free. I estimate that I’m 90% better today after my treatment.

I was suffering from horrible acute jaw pain that was diminishing my quality of life and when I started using the orthotic I experienced relief from the debilitating pain by week 8 and I could not be happier from my results. The level of misinformation and wrong diagnosis out there for TMJD is insanely high. I am so thankful I found Dr. Urbanek’s office because my smile is back and I am pain free most days now.

I am a clenched and grinder when I sleep. After years of jaw pain and dental night guards I tried Dr Urbanek’s device. With in the first 48 hours I noticed a huge difference. The Urbanek device is simple but genius in that it distributes the clenching pressure around all the teeth and keeps the pressure off the back teeth. Finally there is relief!

I’ve struggled with migraines and teeth grinding since I can remember… ever since I was a small child I’d have little ridges on my teeth from grinding so hard in the night… sometimes I’d even wake myself up out of my sleep from the grinding… but not anymore thanks to my TMJ mouth piece. I think it’s been around a year and half or two years now since I’ve gotten properly diagnosed. I’m so thankful that we came to this solution. I’ve experienced significantly less migraines than a couple years ago. My migraines were taking over my life and now I have that control back!! No more sleepless nights or crippling pain!! WooHooo!!!

Patient Success Stories
Many people who experience unexplained headaches, earaches, neck pain, jaw pain, vertigo or shoulder/arm pain do not realize that these symptoms are due to the inflammation in their JAW JOINT resulting in Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.




“I have had over 30 yrs. of headache and frequent earaches which have gotten much more frequent and painful. after 3 weeks of use of the splint have had a 90 percent decrease of symptoms. now a very happy lady.” Nancy M.

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
