Dr. Eddie SimanTMJ Expert

Dr. Siman is one of the few TMJ doctors, let alone dentists, whose office is equipped with an in-house CT scan alongside other high-tech equipment at his disposal.

With this technology, Dr. Siman provides a proper and certain diagnosis for his patients, which allows him the freedom to customize treatment and therapy to the severity of their condition. Having established himself as one of the most sought-after cosmetic dentists in Southern California, Dr. Siman’s first insight into the damage caused by TMJ came three decades ago when he noticed patients returning with damage to the cosmetic dental work he had completed for them. These patients were showing unexpected damage to their beautifully placed cosmetic dental work and dental implants, such as grinding wear to opposing teeth. Interestingly, these patients also reported seemingly unrelated symptoms such as ringing in the ears and neck, shoulder, and back pain. Synthesizing all this data, Dr. Siman grasped the jaw and body connection. The issue was not the cosmetic work itself, but something more subtle and insidious — an unbalanced bite — TMJ.

A natural problem-solver, Dr. Siman took it upon himself to get to the source and underlying cause of his patients’ painful symptoms. Through years of extensive research and ongoing study, Dr. Siman determined that pain associated with one’s jaw, teeth, face, and even shoulder and neck was often tied to damage to, or malformation of, the Temporomandibular joint. Most people wouldn’t think to connect their snoring problems or shoulder pain to the region between the jaw and ear, but Dr. Siman believed that TMJ was often the root of these seemingly unrelated issues. Now, having successfully diagnosed and treated thousands of TMJ patients, Dr. Siman’s initial insights have been validated.

With countless testimonies attesting to the TMJ expert’s outside-of-the-box approach to diagnosis and non-surgical treatment, it is evident why so many patients are choosing Dr. Siman to cure their clicking jaw, ringing ears, and pounding migraine headaches, among numerous other TMJ symptoms.
