Very good. I've been dealing with jaw locking and clacking issues for four years and have tried meeting with dentist and orthodontists but never got any luck getting rid of my symptoms. Referred by my grandma who had the same people, I went to Dr. Urbanek and got his splint made for me and my symptoms went away almost immediately and after a little over two months I don't have any problems with my tmj.

I had TMJ problems after taking a muscle relaxant for another health problem. I told my dentist about my headaches and fullness in my ears. He immediately sent me to see Dr. Urbanek. Dr. Urbanek fit me with a splint which corrected my symptoms within a few months.

I am very thankful to have found Dr. Urbanek and his device for dealing with TMJ issues. My main problem with TMJ was the constant feeling that my jaw was going to lock, which it did several times. I also experienced ear pain and numbness. After wearing the device for just a few weeks, my jaw felt much better. I am now only wearing it a night. The "locking fear" is gone. Dr. Urbanek has been great and his staff is so friendly and professional!

My experience with Dr. Urbanek has been nothing short of fantastic. From being able to see me on short notice to being able to quickly diagnose and begin treatment of my symptoms, I couldn't be happier with my experience. I'm excited to continue on without jaw pain.

My experience with Dr. Urbanek and his staff have been awesome. I had tinnitus for 2 years prior to receiving the splint and that was a LONG two years. I was initially seen by 4 different doctors at Vanderbilt Hospital, including a Tinnitus Specialist who claimed that the cause of my discomfort was from loud noise exposure after I told her it wasn't. I also saw an Ear Nose and Throat doctor who was the most candid and stated that he didn't really know how to treat me and suggested that I seek a holistic approach.



Going the holistic route helped more than traditional western medicine but the relief was always temporary. I frequented deep tissue massages, acupuncture, cranio sacral therapy and even had my chiropractor try to find the solution. It wasn't until I was at a routine visit to get my teeth cleaned, that my hygienist pointed out that my bite was misaligned and recommended the Urbanek Splint. At that point I didn't care what it was, I was going to try it. I had already spent thousands of dollars so I thought, "I might as well exacerbate all my options here."



Dr. Urbanek had removed my wisdom teeth years prior and upon entering his office, I was greeted with the same warm welcome as before. He quickly told me exactly what was wrong, how we were going to fix it, what kind of relief I would experience and when I would experience it.



Long story short, I had been clinching my teeth, which led to tinnitus. I suffered through months of only getting a couple hours of sleep, not being able to listen to music, and even having tinnitus flare ups when people said words with an S in it because the ringing was so bad. Dr. Urbanek saved the day and while I wish I had seen him sooner, I thank God that I even saw him at all cause this stuff can drive you crazy.



I want to thank Dr. Urbanek and the Urbanek staff. I can say I really appreciate it until I'm blue in the face but words won't ever express the gratitude I feel from being able to put this behind me.



THANK YOU!!!

Dr. Urbanek explained the process in great detail and let me know that he was very concerned with my well-being. His assurance and pleasant demeanor relieved my preconceived , unfounded fears. I never had even a twinge of discomfort following the initial implant. I would highly recommend Dr, Urbanek and his caring staff to anyone contemplating any dental surgical procedure.

I am now able to chew without pain, no more neck aches, and over all my sleeping is better at night. I waited too long to seek help. My advice for anyone with this problem to come see Dr. Urbanek as soon as possible!

I had been dealing with symptoms of TMJ since I was about fifteen years old. My symptoms included constant face, jaw, and neck pain (the worst of the symptoms) along with many more, which were not as severe. My mother and sister have also been diagnosed with TMJ and have the same symptoms I do. My mother tried to help her symptoms by getting a night guard to wear so she wouldn't clinch or grind her teeth, but unfortunately she did not get one that actually fit her mouth and her symptoms became much worse even causing her to have to get a cortizone shot in her jaw to help the pain. After seeing her go through that, I figured there wasn't much hope for my own jaw pain. Finally at age twenty-five I realized I could not keep living with constant pain and decided to try and help myself. I found Dr. Urbanek through my own research after finding out that the specialist my dentist referred me to didn't even take my insurance. Dr. Urbanek had great reviews and took my insurance so it seemed perfect. I had my consultation and he described every symptom I had been feeling for the past ten years and assured me we could fix it together. I followed his program exactly as he told me to and I can now say that ten years later all my symptoms are gone and I am free of pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Urbanek to anyone who has been dealing with TMJ symptoms for any number of years, you will not regret it!

I put off my wisdom tooth removal for as long as I could out of fear of the procedure and recovery. After speaking with Dr. Urbanek in the consultation I felt much more at ease. And now, at my post op appointment, I can say that I did not have near as much pain as anticipated! Thank you Dr. Tony and staff!

i have been to approximately 15 specialist over the last 5 years. I have actually been to 4 TMJ "specialist". All of the costs for these procedures were not covered by insurance. Dr. Urbanek is the only one who has relieved my systems. His splint and follow-up visits were the most cost effective. I travel 5 hours to get to his office and it was certainly worth the time and cost. I have my life back!!!!

I have dealt with headaches for many years. When i started wearing the device I began to feel better and I hardly ever have a headache. Thank you!

Thank You Dr. Urbanek!

I have experienced severe pain in my jaw, ears, and head due to my TMJ. For 6 years I've been prescribed inflammation medication, braces, and retainers but nothing has seemed to work. The splint Dr. Urbanek made for me has completely stopped all of my pain and I can finally be pain free during the day!

The device relieved all my symptoms

After years of headaches and severe jaw pain, Dr. Urbanek and his team helped me find a new life free of TMJ pain. In the Memphis area, options for TMJ specialists are very limited. I was very excited to learn of Dr. Urbanek and his new Germantown office. I would recommend him and his team to anyone who is suffering from recurring TMJ symptoms. My general DDS suggested an NTI device which I wore for over a year and had no success with it at all. After one day/night of wearing Dr. Urbanek's appliance I could already see significant improvement. After four weeks I feel 100% better!

Getting a crown triggered the ear pain, jaw pain and later multiple other symptoms from headaches to numbness in hands. Multiple doctors and orthodontists said they wouldn't touch the challenge. Dr. Urbanek put me at immediate ease that he could help. Of course I was skeptical and not excited to spend more money on yet another appliance. However, as he explained the reason for the way this one was designed, it made total sense because I had actually tried several others. However, this one was helping relieve symptoms one by one until I realized one day that I'm almost 99.9% painfree! Thank you to Dr. Urbanek and his great staff for helping me find answers to a problem in just a few months that was almost 20 years in the making.

For the past 15 years I have experienced a myriad of painful symptoms, not knowing that they were all due to 2 little joints in my jaw. Headaches, neck pain, shoulder and arm pain all combined to hinder my ability to function in simple day to day tasks. After one week of wearing Dr. Urbanek's TMJ splint, my symptoms began to dissipate. Three weeks later, I am happy to say I am pain free!

Amazing communication! Spent time to get to know me, listen to the symptoms, explained options and provide treatment!

Almost immediate pain relief. Teeth were not meshing properly making eating difficult. No more of this either. The device seems to work very well.

My story actually begins with a car accident 16 years ago and resulting spinal and headache issues. Basically my spine has been wonky ever since and there are significant knots and tension from my head to lower back. Eventually, that (plus I'm sure stress and anxiety) lead to clinching my jaw more and more often to the point of a TMJ diagnosis and a locked jaw that neither traditional medicine, chiroproactic, nor acupuncture could help. It was awful and I was desperate to stop the jaw pain, popping, and then the final straw, the right side of my jaw out of alignment to the point that it was locked and I could barely open my mouth. My dentist had recommended Dr. Urbanek and I stupidly did not see him before my symptoms got to that point. Within days of using the device, the inflammation and pain were significantly diminished. Within two weeks, the right side of my jaw FINALLY released!! I often wonder how much pain, food restrictions, and damage I could have prevented had a come sooner. However, I'm just extremely thankful that I finally did. Thank you so much, Dr. Urbanek!!
