    • I've never enjoyed going to the dentist and have neglected going for years until a large chip of my tooth came out. I didn't have insurance and was desperate. Colleen took my call and scheduled me in the next morning. I was super nervous getting in but Edward and Katy answered all my questions during x-ray and helped me calm down a bit. When I finally got into the dreaded chair Traci was a rockstar and knew the assignment; checking in on me the entire time and made sure my saliva didn't consume me. Once Dr. Khurana got in there he worked his magic and was careful not to go too far with the drilling and got me out in no time. I'm so thankful for this amazing team and for their care that I just wish my past experiences were as easy and satisfying as this one.
      The pricing was very reasonable as well! Considering that I didn't have insurance, had I known about their membership plan I would not have waited for an emergency to come up for me to finally make a trip to the dentist. I probably would've saved a lot more in the long run by addressing things sooner and taking advantage of their plan... lesson learned. Thanks again to Dentistry of Bellevue team!!

    • Dr.k was incredible as was the staff they got me in immediately after I called with tooth pain and had a root canal done and they worked with me as I didn’t have insurance I would highly recommend coming in and seeing what they can do for you.

    • All the staff is amazing, they do their best to help me schedule my appointments, and work well with the insurance company. I really like their new offices. I managed to convince my wife and kids to move to Dentistry of Bellevue. They are also happy so far.

    Frequent headaches? Uncomfortable bite? Neck/Shoulder/Back/Face pain? Jaw locking when jaw is opened or closed? These are all symptoms of TMJ Disorder.

    What is TMJ?

    “TMJ” is an acronym for temporomandibular joint, that is to say, the jaw joint. The temporomandibular joints are the joints in front of the ears attaching the lower jaw to the skull. They are essential to daily jaw functions such as opening and closing your mouth, chewing and speaking.

    What Are TMJ Disorders?

    TMJ disorders refer to conditions, manifested by pain in the area of the jaw and jaw muscles and limitations in the ability of the jaw to operate normally while speaking, eating, and swallowing.

    The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research of the National Institutes of Health states that 10.8 million people in the USA suffer from TMJ problems. 90% of those seeking treatment for TMJ are women during their childbearing years.

    What Causes TMJ Disorders?

    Medical research has not yet defined all the causes of the various TMJ disorders. Some patients report having TMJ symptoms following trauma, dental treatment, traffic accidents, trauma, or following the adoption of habits such as clenching or grinding the teeth. Arthritis in other parts of the body is sometimes linked to TMJ pain.

    Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

    • Frequent headaches
    • Uncomfortable bite
    • Neck/shoulder/back pain
    • Facial swelling
    • Pain of the face
    • Pain of the jaw joint and/or the ear
    • Jaw locking when jaw open or closed
    • Restricted ability or complete inability to open the mouth without pain

    At present, there are more than 50 treatments in use ranging from very conservative, reversible therapies to more aggressive, invasive approaches.
