"I have TMJ" - Yes, patient... you have two actually.

If you are a practising dental clinician, chances are you’ve encountered patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction - TMD.

In Part 2 of this interview, Irene discusses this tricky disorder with Dr. Tony Urbanek, who specializes in its treatment using wearable custom-made devices.

Tune in to find out what our surgical TMJ doc thinks about the Botox craze. 

Dr. Anthony P. Urbanek DDS, MS, MD

Tony is a double-degree Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. He received his DDS and MS in Anatomy and Cell Biology from Indiana and his MD and internship/residency from Vanderbilt. While at Vanderbilt, he held a research fellowship with the National Institutes of Dental and Craniofacial Research, focusing on laser-induced intrauterine surgery and creating animal models with facial growth anomalies. 

He has been in private practice in Nashville for the past 46 years, focusing on the most complex types of maxillofacial surgery.  

During his long career he founded charity medical clinics in both Haiti and Jamaica  and is proud to have 54 years as a private pilot prompting many “hold my beer” moments. 

Based on 10 years of research, he discovered the common denominator for TMJ/TMD and is now the president and CEO of TMJ Services which has developed  a network of doctors dedicated to the non-surgical solution for this devastating and very common disease. 

Tony’s greatest joy in life is spending time with his three grown children, six grandchildren, one great grandchild and his wife Ann.
