TMJ & Dental Appliances

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is associated with disorders that commonly cause patients pain and discomfort in the head, neck, and jaw areas. Through proper diagnosis and treatment focusing on the root of the cause, Dr. Smolyar and his team can help you prevent, protect and correct dental issues associated with TMJ disorders.

Are you suffering from teeth clenching, teeth grinding, headaches or migraines? Many times, headaches and migraines are related to TMJ, misalignment of teeth or head and neck muscles and bruxism. A comprehensive evaluation can help determine if a custom appliance or alternative course of treatment, such as Botox or physical therapy, is the appropriate solution for you.

Sleep Medicine involves the treatment and diagnosis of sleep apnea and other sleep-related disorders. If you snore or have trouble sleeping, a comprehensive diagnostic assessment can help determine if sleep appliances are right for you.

Alon NivFacebook

Dr. Alex Smolyar is fabulous. I’ve been a patient with Dr. Alex Smolyar for over 20 years. I followed him everywhere he goes, I’ll follow him to the end of the earth. He’s not just a dentist he’s a lot more, he’s a very caring and loving person and a very good listener. Every time I see him at the office he’s always happy and smiling and he’s always positive. He’s an amazing dentist.

Dr. Smolyar is an Einstein in the field of dentistry. After suffering for years with chronic migraines, visiting multiple specialists, Dr. Smolyar diagnosed and treated my migraines without medication. Giving me the best reason to smile of all, no more pain. Thank you Dr. Smolyar!

Dr. Smolyar is a perfectionist. I have some bonding due to an accident and he is meticulous with making my smile look flawless. He is patient and kind and there is never any of the stress usually associated with going to the dentist. He treats me and my husband like family, not patients. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Robin GrossFacebook

We are so happy to have Dr. Alex in our own back yard, although we would really go anywhere to be seen by Alex and his wonderful team. Professional, qualified, honest are a few words that come to mind when describing Alex. We as a family feel its a true privilege to be serviced by Alex, Ronit and their entire team.
