I came in with severe jaw pain that began 37 years ago and was to the point where I could not eat regular foods or open my mouth very far. After finding out I clench my jaw when I am sleeping and when stressed, Dr. Urbanek fit me with my device and within the first few weeks I was over 50% better. At 6 months I am nearly problem free. I could not be happier with the results!

I was at wits end when I was referred to Dr. Urbanek. My right jaw had popped out and I was miserable. I was hoping for an easy fix, like pop it back in. No simple fix here. I learned that all of my symptoms ongoing for decades of excruciating jaw pain, ringing in the ears, headaches, etc. were from TMJD. I tried anti inflammatory medication, mouth guards, chin straps, etc. Nothing worked. I was in so much pain and not a fan of pain meds, so I committed to try the mouthpiece from Dr. Urbanek. After 2 months I can honestly say that I have hope. My jaw pain is occasional now. The ringing is far from gone, but there are times now when it gets lower, so I have hope. Dr. Urbanek told me in the beginning this would be the last symptom to resolve. I cannot say enough how this has changed my life for the better. I wish I could make people happy like Dr. Urbanek does! I think I am disappointed in all of my medical providers over he years that didn’t recognize what was going on before my right jaw was destroyed. I am a nurse and didn’t figure it out either. I didn’t realize that I was grinding until it was almost too late. My husband never noticed me grinding at night. I wish I had known about this 20 years ago!

After going to several different oral surgeons and trying different shots and medications I thought I would keep searching because there had to be someone out there who could fix my problem and with that I found Dr. Urbanek he is very great at what he does by asking questions and going into depth with everything so with that we found out I had both kinds on TMJ the locking of the jaw and the headaches ear and neck pain he suggested the device and after a month of wearing it I saw a huge difference no more headaches or ear pain but I still had the locking so with that he suggested surgery and that was the best thing I could have done my jaw is better then I could remember I highly recommend you go to him and the staff is so great after 8 long years of this but Dr. Urbanek has fixed it and I am truly grateful for him and his staff!

I dealt with persistent jaw pain and pressure for over 10 years. I used to not want to eat certain foods, only sleep on one side of my pillow, and would come home tired and frustrated after clinching all day. Dr. Urbanek's simple device and plan have alleviated all of my nagging symptoms, left me free of pain and with complete range of motion. This is the best and most simple way to fight and beat persistent jaw pain.

I was struggling with jaw pain for years. It would get “stuck” all the time and only sometimes come unstuck. I could only eat soft things. Not to mention all the clicking and popping. I went to Vanderbilt and tried many things. Finally I had enough of the pain. My co-worker let me know about this place that has a splint and required no surgery. It was then that I realized that I might have some hope to living and eating normal. Finally I saw Dr. Urbanek and now I can’t move my jaw very well and most the pain is gone. I feel like I can now live a normal life. Thank you so much. I will be sure to let everyone know how great you guys are.

I awoke with so much jaw pain on a Monday and immediately made an appointment with my dentist who then referred me to Dr. Urbanek as we knew it was most likely TMJ from past experience. I had surgery on the opposite jaw with another doctor. It was an ordeal. Dr. Urbanek was able to see me on Wednesday and listened to all my symptoms then set forth a plan. I received the splint and keep it in 24/7 except to eat. It has been amazing that within a 3 week period my pain is gone, all other symptoms gone. I will continue to follow his plan as this is such a wonderful solution compared to surgery.

After years of jaw clicking, severe neck pain, frequent headaches, and even a cracked tooth from grinding at night, I started asking around for advice on how to resolve my problem/pain. Both my chiropractor and my dentist referred me to Dr. Urbanek. Within 24 hours of using his device, my jaw stopped clicking/locking after sleep and with meals. My neck pain has subsided tremendously. I’m beyond thankful for his device/treatment, as my symptoms were impacting my daily life. If I could offer others advice, it would be to take care of your body and listen to your gut. If something is wrong, be proactive and don’t allow yourself to suffer from years of pain before seeking help.

I looked for TMJ help for years, but everything I found was extremely expensive, too invasive, or came with no guarantee of helping. Dr. Urbanek was easy to understand and diagnosed my problem right away. His device was way easier to live with than I anticipated, and eventually I didn’t even notice it was there. After two months, my symptoms are 95% better. I didn’t think this kind of change was possible, and I’m very grateful.

For nearly 25 years I suffered with bad headaches, neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, and frequent dizziness. My primary doctor referred me to Dr. Urbanek because he thought my problem was due to TMJ. So I made my appointment and am very happy I did. I started a couple months ago wearing Dr. Urbanek’s dental splint and to my surprise, it worked! All my symptoms are 95% gone. I never thought it was possible to have so many problems from the TMJ but it does cause all sorts of issues. I couldn’t be more pleased, and highly recommend Dr. Urbanek and his TMJ dental splint!

I’ve had problems with ringing in my ears, vertigo, and neck pain. I even felt some swelling in my left ear at times. My ENT. Referred me to Dr. Urbanek, suspecting there was a jaw issue. Turned out I had a jaw bone problem. Dr. Urbanek recommended and fitted a retainer for me. Since wearing it for several months, all my symptoms have either decreased or disappeared. I can’t believe the difference. Trust me, I dont forget to insert that retainer at night. Dr. Urbanek did a great fit for me.

I have suffered from migraines and jaw issues for over 25 years. It finally reached a point that my jaw slipped out to the extent I could not close it and trying to pop back in place extremely painful. I was referred to Dr. Urbanek by my dentist and told how many people he has helped with noninvasive procedures. I made an appointment that very day and was fitted with the Urbanek mouth splint. I cannot begin to tell you how much this helped my jaw, but other issues I have suffered from not realizing it was due to my jaw. I strongly reccommend this splint if you have any of these issues or worse. Dr. Urbanek and his device have been a true blessing,

I’ve had jaw issues since I was very young. My parents didn’t really know what caused it and it never caused pain so I just lived with it for a while. It wasn’t until I started dating my fiance, who would no longer sit beside me at the dinner table because of the popping, that I decided to seek out information about the popping. My dentist recommended Dr. Urbanek because he knew exactly what was wrong when I told him about my popping. Dr. Urbanek has easily become my favorite doctor to come to. He described all of my issues in simple terms that I could understand and took the time to listen to my concerns. I have been wearing my mouthpiece for almost 3 months, 24/7. I can say my jaw no longer pops on the right side and has slowed down on the left side.” M.G.
“After years of symptoms in just a matter of a few months my symptoms have greatly improved. I had developed many symptoms and was in a lot of pain and could barely open my mouth. It .only a few short months most of my symptoms had improved. No pain and could open my mouth. I hope to continue to improve.” D.F.
“What a Relief!! I was having so much pain with my TMJ that i consulted my dentist with needing a new mouth appliance . He recommended me to a Dr. Urbanek . He ask me all these questions & of course i had all the symptoms . It started about 35 years . I got hit in the jaw with a softball . I got married right before i turned 20 so it was in the first years of marriage that my jaws started locking when i would yawn . I got my first mouth piece & wore it day and night for about a year . I had it for about 3 or 4 years until i wore holes in it. I finally got another one . Had to keep getting it fixed . Finally it just didn’t fit right anymore . I went with out one for so long that i didn’t realize it was harming me more and more everyday. Headaches all the time, neck & shoulder pain . My jaws were getting so wore out that they were starting to lock up again and my ear started hurting . When the other ear started ringing ,popping & i got where i couldn’t hear good I had to do something !! I came & seen Dr.U got fitted for a different mouth piece. I have wore it for 3 weeks day and night and LET ME TELL YOU I AM FEELING like my old self again !! If you are having any problems please give him a call !!” Kim Davis
“No more headaches!! For many years I went to multiple doctors and was misdiagnosed for my headaches, ear ringing, and dizziness. Finally my primary doctor referred me to Dr. Urbanek. After that it was history. He turned my whole life around by giving me the splint. I was able to function on a daily basis without having all of my symptoms. If you have the same symptoms then I would recommend him to anyone. The splint will change your life.” Yolanda
“Before meeting Dr. Urbanek I’d suffered jaw pain and locking for years. In just the first 3 weeks I haven’t felt any jaw pain at all. The headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms have all but disappeared as well. It’s night and day from before receiving my device. I can’t thank Dr. Urbanek and his great team enough!” Katherine
“I was having severe jaw pain in jaw popping and was referred to Dr. Urbanek by another Doctor because I was clueless on what to do or where to go. I was told I needed to see a TMJ specialist and I asked my Doctor to send me to the best he knew, and he was a 100% correct, Dr Urbanek and his staff are the best.I went from 0 to 100% with Dr. Urbanek’s mouthpiece which had made to fit my mouth and my needs. By listening and doing everything he told me to do, it was well worth it. Now I don’t have to feel pain anymore. The mouthpiece looks and feels a lot like my own top denture and it didn’t take long to where I got comfortable wearing it. I can’t thank Dr. Urbanek and his staff enough for everything they have done for me! So again thank you all.” Penny
