Texas TMJ & Pain Management
Amrittej S. Virk, B.D.S., D.M.D.
Patients predominantly seek us out for management of their jaw pain, facial pain, nerve pain, headaches, snoring and sleep apnea.
Our practice is unique because… we are the only dedicated orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine practice in Southlake, and we are one of the three board-certified orofacial pain specialists in the DFW area that provides comprehensive nonsurgical management of orofacial pain, TMJ disorders, snoring and sleep apnea.
The treatment we’re most excited about is... oral appliance management of sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea, which now afflicts at least 25 million adults in the U.S., is on the rise, and yet very few of these patients are being adequately managed. It’s important to treat sleep apnea because it can have long-term consequences for your health. Even though CPAP therapy is the front-line treatment, very few patients can tolerate it and eventually discontinue treatment altogether. We offer oral appliance therapy through a mouthpiece for sleep apnea, which is an effective and comfortable alternative to CPAP therapy.
The most rewarding part of our job is… helping our patients by improving their quality of life and watching them return to their normal healthy lifestyle after they recover from painful and sometimes debilitating medical conditions.
