Doctor Demerjian is an absolute lifesaver and a magician! I came to him for difficulties with TMJ, especially very severe clenching all day at night. Regular mouthguards didn't do anything for me because I just clenched into them. I was in so much pain. Using technology, he developed at UCLA, He created two mouthguards for me to offload the pressure and train my jaw not to clench both day and night. I cannot believe the difference! My head, neck and jaw pain has drastically been reduced, and I am finally not clenching as much anymore. My understanding is some other dentists create devices that shift your teeth and you end up having to get braces. With the treatments, Dr. Demerjian offers it does not impact your teeth and you do not need braces. He is so intelligent and attentive! I highly recommend anyone dealing with the pain of TMJ go to him for relief! You will be so glad you did! read more

He is so thorough patient and kind and he has developed this technology to make it a much easier process

A few months ago, I started seeing Dr. Demerjian based off a recommendation from my dentist. The left side of my jaw was closing slower than the right, while I had been experiencing (for years) head, neck, and shoulder pain. My dentist reasoned I had TMJ but needed a formal diagnosis. Not only did Dr. Demerjian help me understand my eventual TMJ diagnosis, he walked me through every step of the way for treatment. Now, I not only have wayyyy less pain in my jaw, but my neck, head, and shoulder pain has all dramatically decreased. He is incredibly patient and kind, and extremely thoughtful in how he treats you. His work is life changing. Please give him your time if you have any TMJ issues! read more

I came to Dr. Demerjian with TMJ that had flared up. He is very knowledgeable, listens and methodical in his approach. I followed his instructions and months later I am pain free! His office staff is wonderful. Highly recommend. read more

Wow, I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Demerjian. Highly recommended. We came here to treat my daughter's TMJ issue and from the beginning, he was wonderful. He has great bedside manners and takes his time to explain everything that he is doing and how the entire treatment will work. He is super gentle with the patient. He is honest, caring, thorough and modest. He is definitely one of the leaders in TMJ treatment but you wouldn't know it. read more

Unfortunately this TMJ treatment didn't work for me after paying $3900 for the appliance and year of appointments. Seems like you have to keep going forever and it costs a lot. Insurance won't cover anything except X-Rays. Also, my mouthpiece has degraded in the two years I've had it. It's wearing badly and little chips fall off. My jaw still clicks and pops terribly, and gets frozen after dental work -- even with a bite insert to hold my mouth open. Really nice doctor and office. I hope this works for other people, but maybe my case is too severe to be remedied without constant appointments. Or at all! read more

So after seeing the ENT and ruling out anything in that department, found out that I suffered from TMJ and this Doctor explained everything in detail . Will be starting treatment soon and looking forward to it . read more

I went to see Dr. Gary Demerjian for TMJ disorder. Unfortunately my experience with Dr. Demerjian was extremely negative. During my first consultation doctor seemed very knowledgeable, professional and assured me that he will help me. I left very happy and full of high hopes! Well, I should have paid a better attention to the RED Flags! In order to be treated for TMJ by Dr. Demerjian you have to pay thousands of dollars upfront. I was really surprised by this kind of "payment option" , but when you are dealing with TMJ pain you would 't even think about expenses . Well, don't be like me! Think twice! Real doctors who know how to treat your problem will never ask for the whole amount of treatment during your first appointment . They will let you do monthly payments , for example $400-500 every month. And let me assure you , if the treatment will help , you will gladly make those monthly payments. I'm writing this because I found a real specialist who helped my problem, it was an instant relief and I was making MONTHLY payments , nobody pressured me into buying anything. I will not mention my new doctors name here so that this review doesn't look like it's written by a competitor . Just want you to know that real and honest doctors do exist. Just not at this practice. Honestly, I wouldn't even think about money if his "treatment" would help. Unfortunately his appliance never helped , and it was not supposed to help since the doctor has no idea what he is doing with TMJ. He is sort of "playing by the ear" asking questions during your every appointment . For example "where do you have pain today"? I say "on the right side of my face". He then proceeds to massage the right side of the face! What a total joke! My condition has gotten worse , I came with TMJ problem on one side and left practice with problems on both sides. You've been warned! read more

I had disabling jaw pain from TMJ disorder at the beginning of the year due to some dental work the previous summer. The left side of my jaw was constantly clicking, cracking and popping out of place and I had severe headaches and dizziness to the point where I was unable to function day-to-day. I literally struggled to get out of bed most mornings. Dr. Demerjian was recommended to me by a friend and, after meeting him the first time, I knew he would be able to solve the problem when many other people had been unable to. He took x-rays and made some orthopedics for me to wear both during the day and at night. The orthopedics allowed me to function and I was able to gradually start getting my life back together again. Six months later I am now in the process of weaning off of the daytime orthopedic and I have no jaw pain, clicking, cracking, popping, etc. He and his staff have gone above and beyond to assist me and keep the treatment going during the COVID situation this year and I can't say enough good things about all of them. If you have a TMJ disorder and want to see someone who has the ability to fix it, I can't recommend Dr. Demerjian highly enough. read more

I'm incredibly grateful that I found Dr. Demerjian. My problems started 6 months ago. I had headaches, fatigue, muscle spams, facial pain, dizziness and no one could seem to pinpoint what was causing it. My pain was debilitating. Being a voice actor, it became impossible to work. I saw several doctors and had a CT scan before I was referred to Dr. Demerjian. He was able to isolate what the problem was and what needed to be done to fix it. He is compassionate, very knowledgable, listens to what problems you're having, and customizes a solution. 6 months later, I have full range of motion in my jaw back and no more pain. Dr. Demerjian gave me my life back. read more

Wow, I am so grateful to have found Dr. Demerjian! I have suffered from jaw soreness, clenching and grinding for almost 20 years. Since I began treatment with Dr. Demerjian last summer, I have experienced the most wonderful relief. I used to have daily headaches, a constantly clenched jaw and nightly grinding issues. Now, I barely get headaches, my jaw feels so relaxed all the time, and I am getting the best nights sleep, grind--free. I am so much more comfortable- it is truly night and day. I can't emphasize enough how much Dr. Demerjian has helped me with my TMJ. Thank you so much Dr. Demerjian! He also has the kindest, most welcoming office of any doctor I have been to. Jasmine, the receptionist is so sweet and always brightens my day! read more

I was referred to Dr. Demerjian by one of his previous patients. I had over a year of facial TMJ pain and burning from bone on bone grinding in the jaw from displaced discs. Dr. Demerjian made me a splint that slightly pushed my lower jaw forward to stop the painful grinding and burning that I was experiencing. Over about a 4 month period of wearing the splint, I gradually noticed myself getting better and better. Dr. Demerjian is a very caring dentist that really wants to help his patients. He isn't the type of dentist that just wants to take your money and give you a basic treatment that doesn't work. I can finally put this TMJ hell behind me and move on with my life. read more

Truly a wonder. Was a bit skeptical at first, but am glad to have gone through with it. Dr. Demerjian is the best in the field. Very profession, thorough and actually listens to your problems and has different solutions based on what is going on with you. It wasn't about pushing the cookie cutter appliance on you, but rather creating a custom plan addressing your concerns. That's the main thing I look for and a lot of physicians don't realize that. The office support staff is friendly and very helpful also. Wish that I found him 10 years ago!!! But really go in for a consultation. Never realized how much affect the jaw had on the rest of your body. read more

Dr. Demerjian did for me what other dentists and chiropractors couldn't. He identified my TMJ problem and prescribed treatment that absolutely worked. It's been over 2 years since I started my treatment and I am pain free. He is a kind man who is incredible knowledgeable about diagnosing and treating jaw issues. read more

Jaw popped out of whack several years ago and became an ongoing problem. By the time I saw Dr Demerjian I'd already seen three other dentists who did TMJ work. One said I'd "more than likely" need surgery. I've been under Dr Demerjian's care for about a month now. I can now open my mouth normally. I am less dizzy and I've regained some range of motion in my neck. It's encouraging. If you have TMJ problems, go see him. He knows what he's doing. read more

I am thrilled to provide a recommendation for Dr. Demerjian. I am a current patient & have been given back the quality of my life because of his diagnosis & treatment. I thought I would simply continue on a downhill slide to worst health but have great hope for a better life because of his care. The staff in the Burbank office is cordial, friendly, helpful and warm. Sorry if other people have had bad experiences, but I have had nothing but a fabulous experience. read more

I had been suffering from TMJ for many years and without much relief. I had been to various oral surgeons over the years with no results. I had resigned myself to living with constant jaw pain, daily headaches, throat, and neck pain. After having recently moved to Los Angeles I decided to, once again, try to get some help and relief. That is when I was referred to Dr. Gary Demerjian by my dentist as well as by my periodontist. When I went in for my first consult, I must admit I had little hope left, but in only six months that hope had returned based on the relief I felt seeing my symptoms fall away during the course of treatment. What's special about Dr. Demerjian is that each patient's treatment is customized to address their particular issues, and this is no easy feat. Instead of one blanket treatment option that hopefully addresses some of your issues, Dr. Demerjian carefully analyzes your symptoms and then creates a treatment plan just for you. Dr. Demerjian and his staff are warm and professional. I couldn't be happier with the results thus far. read more

Words cannot even explain how grateful that I am for Dr. Demerjian. For years I have suffered from jaw pain known as TMJ. Thank you Dr. Demerjian for your incredible methods and for listening to my symptoms and providing practical solutions. read more

My review is based on 32 yrs.experience as a P.T. assistant. Since I retired, my neck muscle spasms, Headaches, clenching, upper and lower back pain, decreased posture and tenderness in the upper spinal and jaw muscles had increased to 9-10. My hands were falling asleep and severly painful at night. My M.D. referred me to a neurologist, who immediately wanted to fuse my neck. I sought a second opinion, and the 2nd neuro. said I had carpal tunnel. Meantime, I talked to my DDS, Dr. Melinah Arakelian and she referred me to Dr. Demerjian, who did a thorough neck and jaw exam. I had severe overbite and my old orthotic partial was no longer supportive, due to aging and dental changes. Dr. Demerjian worked out a plan and put me in corrective orthotics. Within a week, all symptoms were diminished, my neck Range of Motion was impressively increased. Now one year later, and feeling like a new woman, I am forever grateful to Dr. Demerjian and his fine staff. No neck fusion was needed, or other treatment. Even my carpal tunnel symptoms are minimal. This is nothing short of a miracle. I now have a new orthotic/partial, designed by Dr. Demerjian. He is a genius and so patient to solve problems. I can eat well and am virtually pain free. Thank you with all my heart, Dr. D. read more
