Hello, this is Dr. James Segulyev, DDS and I’d like to welcome all new patients to my dental practice in Dallas, who are seeking TMJ & Facial Pain relief. Since 2001, I have had the honor of treating my TMJ patients with much success in helping them achieve lasting relief from their TMJ disorder. Here’s what to expect for your first TMJ appointment.
Over the years of practicing dentistry, I have developed a special interest in helping patients who suffer from bite problems, facial pain, headache pain, and TMJ disorders. I’m excited to meet you and learn more about your oral health goals and needs so we can get you back on the track towards total wellness, health, vitality, and longevity.
The first step of the TMJ treatment process begins with a consultation at my office. During your appointment, you and I will chat about your medical history, symptoms, and any concerns you may have so I can get to know you better. I strive to maintain a practice that is patient-focused, where ample time is taken to develop a relationship with the purpose of understanding and pursuing the patient’s dental health goals. As a result of this inclusive approach, my patients can enjoy the benefits of improved oral health.
During your appointment, I’ll also conduct a detailed oral health examination so I can gain a better understanding of your TMJ health and your dental health overall. If needed, I may take some additional steps that will help inform my diagnosis and tell me what direction I need to take in forming your treatment plan. This may include taking x-rays and oral impressions. I may also refer you to a specialist for tomographic imaging if necessary.
All of this is done to make sure that you receive the very best care and results possible. I believe in providing my patients with customized and individualized dental care based on dental wellness and longevity. Being thorough and using this inclusive approach allows me to provide an accurate diagnosis and determine if you suffer from TMD. That way, I can create a treatment plan that caters to your unique individual needs. Ultimately, my goal is to help you achieve optimal dental health and an aesthetic, long-lasting, trouble-free dental system.
You can schedule your TMJ consultation by calling my office at (972) 661-3666.
A member of my team will help you schedule an appointment for a day and time that works for you.
Once your appointment is scheduled, the next step is to complete all the required New Patient Forms. We will email you the forms to complete or mail them to you if time permits. Please complete the forms prior to your visit. If you are unable to fill out your paperwork ahead of time, another option is to arrive at your appointment 15-20 minutes early. You can then complete your paperwork in-person. If you are already an established patient, you do not need to complete the New Patient Forms again.
