About Us

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care for TMJ, Facial Pain & Headache Disorders

At Lone Star Orofacial Pain & Dental Sleep Medicine, we are committed to building meaningful patient relationships and providing gentle, compassionate care in a calm and supportive environment. Our goal is to ensure every patient feels heard, understood, and confident in their care from the moment they walk through our doors. Orofacial Pain is a specialized field of dentistry, and our practice was created to fill a growing need in Houston for thoughtful, comprehensive care for jaw, facial, head, and neck pain.

Our Mission

To provide accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and empathetic support for individuals experiencing TMJ disorders, facial pain, headaches, neuropathic pain, and sleep-related jaw problems—using a modern, interdisciplinary, and patient-centered approach.

What Makes Us Different

A Specialty Practice Focused Solely on Orofacial Pain

Our practice is dedicated to the musculoskeletal, neural, and neurovascular structures of the face, head, and neck, providing specialized care for the complex disorders that affect these regions. This focus allows us to spend the necessary time, attention, and clinical reasoning each patient deserves.

Thorough, Whole-Person Evaluations

We look beyond symptoms and examine the full picture—jaw mechanics, muscular patterns, sleep habits, posture, nerve function, stress, lifestyle, and previous care. Pain is rarely caused by one factor; understanding its complexity is key to long-term relief.

Evidence-Based, Conservative Treatment

Our treatment plans are grounded in the latest scientific research and emphasize reversible, non-surgical therapies whenever possible. Patients receive individualized guidance on exercises, oral appliances, behavioral strategies, sleep modification, physical therapy collaboration, and medical co-management.

Collaborative Care with Houston’s Medical Community

We routinely collaborate with dentists, ENTs, physicians, neurologists, sleep physicians, physical therapists, and pain specialists providing patients with a cohesive and comprehensive treatment experience.

Our Philosophy of Care

  1. Listen First – Your story matters. Every appointment begins with genuine listening and an understanding of how pain affects your daily life.
  2. Diagnose With Precision – We use detailed clinical exams, advanced imaging and technology to identify what’s truly causing your symptoms.
  3. Treat With Intention – No two patients are alike. Your plan is built specifically for you—focusing on restoring function, reducing pain, and preventing recurrence.
  4. Support Through Every Step – Chronic pain can feel overwhelming. We prioritize education, follow-up, and ongoing communication so patients feel informed, supported, and empowered.

Our Commitment to Houston & Surrounding Communities

Located in the Sugar Land and Katy area, our practice proudly serves patients throughout the greater Houston region and neighboring communities. We value cultural understanding, multilingual communication, and strive to create a warm, welcoming environment for every individual we have the privilege to care for.
