This University based clinic is located in San Francisco.  The Pacific Center for Orofacial Disorders serves Northern California dental and medical communities.  This specialty center focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of... 

Temporomandibular Disorders (TMJ) 

                            and

Obstructive Sleep Disorders (Snoring and Sleep Apnea).

The faculty is comprised of specialists in dentistry, medicine, psychology, acupuncture and physical therapy. Services are provided by licensed specialists with fees consistent with normal health care costs. Adjunct faculty in neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, physical medicine, and internal medicine are located across the street at California Pacific Medical Center. Magnetic resonance imaging, tomographic x-ray and computerized mandibular function diagnostic services are available.

Treatment is carried out at the Pacific Center or integrated with other health care facilities. Phase II orthotic, orthodontic and prosthodontic care is available.

Other health problems that must be considered when evaluating orofacial complaints include neurovascular and oncological issues. These problems are relatively rare, but could include entities such as trigeminal neuralgia, temporal arteritis or even cancer. Other medical or dental specialists are consulted and referrals may be necessary.
