Insurance Guidance

Before your first appointment, we recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify your benefits. An important distinction to understand is that TMJ and sleep treatment is filed under medical insurance, not dental insurance. This is a critical detail that many patients overlook.

Dr. Krish is an out-of-network provider, which means you may still receive coverage depending on your plan type and benefits. Our treatment coordinators are experienced in working with insurance companies to help maximize your reimbursement.

"After years of chronic migraines and jaw pain, I finally found answers here. The team took the time to truly understand my condition. Three months into treatment, my headaches have virtually disappeared. I wish I had found them sooner."
