What an orofacial pain specialist treats
- TMJ / TMD and jaw pain
- Chronic tension and jaw-related headaches
- Facial muscle pain and tightness
- Nerve-type facial pain
- Clenching and grinding (bruxism) and its effects
- Unexplained tooth or facial pain that other workups haven't resolved
Why complex facial pain needs a specialist
Orofacial pain sits at the crossroads of the jaw joint, muscles, nerves, and bite. A visit that looks at only one of those can miss the real driver — which is why this kind of pain so often goes unexplained. A specialist evaluates the whole system together to find the cause, then treats it with the least invasive approach that works.
How we approach your pain
- Comprehensive evaluation — a focused exam, bite analysis, and imaging when needed to pinpoint the source.
- A clear, conservative plan — your options, timeline, and costs explained up front.
- Non-surgical first — orthotics, targeted Botox, and other conservative care before anything invasive.
Why patients choose Dr. Samadian
Dr. Samadian focuses on TMJ disorders, orofacial pain, and dental sleep medicine, and trained at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. That depth is what lets him connect symptoms others treat in isolation. More about our specialist →
