Ask these questions before you commit to a TMJ doctor. Your decision could be life-changing
As a patient suffering from pain and desperate for a solution, it is important you know that most doctors that treat TMJ do not have the necessary advanced continuing education and up-to-date training, techniques and experience to properly diagnose and successfully treat the problem.
What specific credentials do you have in the field of TMJ?
Most dentists receive minimal training on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders during dental school. True expertise requires extensive post-graduate education and specialized training.
Dr. Siman has graduated from multiple specialized residencies focused on TMJ disorders and invested thousands of hours in continuing education to master this complex field. He has incorporated cutting-edge diagnostic equipment and treatment techniques not taught in conventional dental schools.
Don't settle for the cookie-cutter approach of a basic night guard. Ask your provider about their specialized training and comprehensive treatment protocols beyond standard dental education.
How many TMJ patients have you successfully treated?
Many dentists treat TMJ disorders only as a small part of their general practice. In contrast, Dr. Siman has successfully transformed the lives of over 25,000 patients during his 36-year career, treating TMJ patients as a primary focus of his practice every day.
Experience matters. The more patients a doctor has treated, the more likely they've encountered cases similar to yours.
What is your success rate in relieving TMJ symptoms?
Success rates depend on several critical factors: specialized education, advanced knowledge, and the use of scientific diagnostic equipment such as CT scans and electromyography (EMG) to measure muscular activity.
Dr. Siman combines all these elements with FDA-approved, non-invasive treatments to achieve exceptionally high success rates, even for patients who have tried multiple other treatments without relief.
The right diagnosis leads to the right treatment. Advanced technology makes all the difference.
What modern equipment do you use to diagnose and treat TMJ?
Just as a cardiologist wouldn't diagnose heart problems without an EKG or CT scan, TMJ disorders cannot be properly diagnosed through basic examination alone.
Dr. Siman utilizes:
This advanced equipment allows him to identify the true source of your symptoms—whether it's headaches, ear ringing, neck pain, or other related issues—and create customized treatment plans that eliminate the need for addictive medications, injections, or invasive surgeries.
Ask your provider what specific advanced diagnostic tools they use. The answer reveals their commitment to precision treatment.
What percentage of your practice is dedicated to treating TMJ patients?
Many general dentists who offer TMJ treatment spend most of their time on standard dental procedures like fillings, crowns, and root canals, seeing only a few TMJ patients and typically prescribing generic night guards.
The majority of patients who come to Dr. Siman have already seen numerous specialists—dentists, neurologists, ENTs, chiropractors, physical therapists, psychiatrists—and have tried multiple night guards and medications without success.
Dr. Siman's practice is primarily dedicated to treating complex TMJ-related issues, making him uniquely qualified to help patients who haven't found relief elsewhere.
Choose a doctor who is a true expert—whose primary focus is solving TMJ problems, not someone who treats them occasionally.
How many hours of continuing education do you have in the field of TMJ?
Staying at the forefront of TMJ treatment requires continuous learning and collaboration with other experts. Dr. Siman has invested thousands of hours in continuing education throughout his three-decade career, regularly participating in specialized panels and conferences exclusively focused on TMJ disorders.
The field of TMJ treatment is constantly evolving. Your doctor should be evolving with it.
Is your treatment protocol limited to a night guard?
For over 90% of TMJ cases—whether they involve teeth grinding, locked jaw, headaches, migraines, ear ringing, chronic neck pain, neuralgias, snoring, or sleep apnea—a traditional night guard is simply a band-aid approach.
The average patient who visits Dr. Siman has already tried 5 different night guards from different providers with no lasting results. Instead of temporary fixes, Dr. Siman transforms lives by using advanced, scientifically-proven techniques that eliminate the source of pain rather than just masking symptoms.
Dr. Siman's practice is primarily dedicated to treating complex TMJ-related issues, making him uniquely qualified to help patients who haven't found relief elsewhere.
Don't waste more time with temporary solutions. Seek comprehensive care that addresses the root cause of your suffering.
OVER 30 YEARS DEDICATED TO TREATING TMJ DISORDERS
With over thirty years dedicated to treating Temporomandibular joint disorder/dysfunction (TMJ) and advancing research in the field, L.A.’s Dr. Eddie Siman has established himself as much more than your ordinary TMJ doctor, expert cosmetic dentist, or implantologist. Many oral surgeons, ENT’s, chiropractors, other cosmetic dentists, and self-proclaimed TMJ Experts fail in getting to the root of pain, which discourages and deters most, if not all, TMJ patients.
holistic care and expert treatment
Some prolong the nagging pain and detrimental effects of the disorder by endlessly prescribing pain medications, Botox injections, or chiropractic adjustments that offer only short-term relief for TMJ symptoms but never treat the underlying cause. Needless to say, Dr. Siman is an anomaly within the profession. As a true expert in TMJ, Dr. Siman believes in actually curing people and helping them seek permanent relief, not by medication or invasive surgery, but through holistic care and expert treatment.
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. Though TMJ is his niche, Dr. Siman’s experience and devotion to learning — always coupled with his natural artistic abilities — inform his approach to the field of cosmetic dentistry and implantology.
