Patient Resources

Starting care for TMJ or facial pain shouldn't feel complicated. We want your first visit to be a comfortable place to ask questions, share what you've been experiencing, and begin understanding what's causing your symptoms.

Before Your First Visit

To help us make the most of your appointment, please complete your new patient forms and prepare for before arriving.

New Patient Forms

These forms give our team important information about your health history, symptoms, concerns, and what you've been experiencing. Having this information ahead of time allows us to spend more time during your visit listening to you and evaluating your needs.

What to Bring

To help us get a complete picture of your symptoms and treatment history, please bring:

  • Your completed new patient forms
  • A list of current medications and supplements
  • Information about your dental and medical history
  • Any previous imaging or diagnostic records related to your symptoms
  • Insurance information
  • A list of questions or concerns you'd like to discuss

What to Expect

Your evaluation is about more than your symptoms. We look at the bigger picture.

We'll Listen

We'll take time to understand your symptoms, how long you've been experiencing them, and how they're affecting your everyday life.

We'll Evaluate

Your evaluation may include a comprehensive examination, review of your health history, and diagnostic imaging when appropriate.

We'll Create a Plan

If treatment is appropriate, we'll develop a personalized plan based on your individual symptoms, goals, and needs.

Insurance & Payments

We know insurance and healthcare costs can be confusing. Our team is here to help you understand what to expect before beginning treatment.

Understanding Your Coverage

We work with many insurance plans and can help you understand your benefits before your appointment. Because coverage varies by plan, we recommend contacting your insurance provider or speaking with our office for the most accurate information about your individual benefits.

Accepted Payment Methods

Cash, check, credit card, debit card, HSA/FSA, and other accepted payment methods.

We may offer financing options that allow you to spread treatment costs into manageable monthly payments.

You Don't Have to Keep Guessing

If you've been living with jaw pain, headaches, facial pain, clicking or locking, ear symptoms, or other unexplained discomfort, you don't have to figure it out on your own.

At Advanced TMJ and Facial Pain Center, our approach begins with listening, understanding, and evaluating the full picture. From there, we'll help you understand your options and determine the next step that's right for you.
