I'm a new TMJ patient to Dr. Sid and so far I can say that He and his lovely wife run a really awesome business. I've been to so many doctors, surgeons, chiropractors, etc and they all seem to be pretty confused about how to treat the TMJ disorders. Dr. Sid gave me a very thorough evaluation and was truly caring about my case. I received the orthotic and am dedicated to wearing it as much as I can so I can see this process through. I believe his science and expertise in this field makes him completely set apart and excited to see how my symptoms improve. He recommends I train my muscles into a new bite for nearly a year and then move my teeth with braces into my permanent bite. This all makes perfect sense to me. The office is beautiful inside and out and has free parking. Will update in the future for a follow up! Thank you team Dr. Sid read more

Best treatment for TMJ. When I was 20 years old, I was rear ended in a car accident that dramatically changed my life. I had reverse curvature in my neck, which affected my posture, back, and caused myo-facial pain. I had a surgery for my back that made my sciatica pain worse. I experienced nerve pain down my arms and numbness in my fingers. An orthopedic Doctor informed me that the discs in my jaw had been displaced, which affected my posture and caused all of the nerve pain. The idea that a TMJ treatment would solve all of these problems sounded far-fetched. After trying various TMJ treatments with mixed results, I was very discouraged. When I found Dr. Solomon, I learned he had newer technology to ensure that the treatment would reduce my pain. 23 years after suffering severe pain in my neck, jaw, shoulders, and back, I am pain free. I almost gave up hope that I would find a solution. The office staff is amazing which encouraged me during the process. I recommend Dr. Solomon to anyone that suffers from TMJ. read more

Do you hate your life? Do you want to keep hating your life? Do you have masochistic tendancies? Then stay away and never fix your issues like I did. TMJD is fun for some people, but it wasn't for me, hence I dove through Dr. Solomons side window and demanded that he takes my money so I can fix that problem! Thankyou for helping actually change my life. Considering that i'm not a masochist i'm quite satisfied with the results. -Love Brett read more

Went for my TMJ issues, I had insane lock jaw and had trouble opening my mouth. After going in for appointments and going through the treatment process my jaw improved immensely.

It is extremely rare that I would leave reviews unless I mean it.

Sid Solomon, DDS - TMJ Expert - Reception - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Last year, my daughter began having severe TMJ. This was a result of a misaligned jaw from braces/tooth extraction. Lots of orthodontists straighten the teeth at the expense of the jaw. My daughter's jaw/mouth would pop and open severely crooked. She had ear fullness and would wake up with her jaw out of place. She had clicking everytime she would eat. It was hard to watch her struggle. After being told she should have Botox injections and be on medication I decided to look for another way. That's when I found Dr. Solomon here on Yelp. When I first contacted his office, Faye was amazing. She genuinely cared for what my daughter was going through and we scheduled an appt for a consultation. My daughter started treatment 8 months ago, in May 2024 and let me tell you, Dr. Solomon's treatment has changed her life. Her results were almost immediate. No more clicking while chewing, no more waking up with her jaw out of place, no more ear fullness, no more popping or crooked mouth. Now she wears her retainer only at night. Words can not explain how grateful we are for Dr. Solomon. Best money I ever spent! Thank you so much Dr. Solomon, Faye and the whole team. You guys are truly incredible! If you're suffering from TMJ, look no further, you need to see Dr. Solomon! read more

Dr Sid, Faye and the rest of the team are some of the most wonderful and caring people I have ever met. They are welcoming, kind and genuinely care about you, your problems and health. I have been seeing Dr. Sid for TMJ problems that I've had my whole life and he is the first person that has ever come up with real solutions to actually fix the issue at its core. They've been there for me every step of the way and I am so grateful for them! Could not recommend them more! read more

Dr. Solomon was assigned as my primary care provider by my DHMO. I hadn't been to the dentist for a few years (I know, I know) and I was feeling pretty anxious, but they were initially quite friendly and professional when I went in for an appointment. However, upon evaluating me and doing an initial x-ray, the staff told me I had significant periodontal disease. They refused to treat me and instead referred me to a periodontist. Feeling incredibly concerned about my dental health, I went to the periodontist, who told me that my only problem was that I simply had a lot of tartar and I just needed a cleaning. Confused, I called Dr. Solomon's office back, and they told me Dr. Solomon and the periodontist would confer and they would call me back. After several weeks of not hearing from them, I called their office and found that my number went straight to voicemail. I left a message and did not hear back. A few weeks later I called again several times, my number kept going to voicemail, and I continued to leave multiple messages with no response. It finally dawned on me - and I am not kidding - THEY SET MY NUMBER TO GO STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL rather than speaking to me about my care. I called back from a blocked number and - sure enough - I finally got through. They told me I could wait months for a new appointment or else find another primary care dentist. You can guess which option I chose. Bottom line: these are unethical, money-grubbing people who have zero genuine concern for patient care. Avoid specially if you're on an DHMO: they will laugh all the way to the bank with your capitation payments every month but will refuse to treat you when you come in. I have filed an official grievance with my insurance company, and I reported this horrible scam of a practice to the Dental Board of California. read more

Long overdue rating, Dr. Solomon's office was not only very zen and tranquil, but the staff was extremely welcoming and transparent about billing and any questions. Dr Solomon, was easy to talk, knowledgeable, and empathetic about the amount of pain I was in for TMJ. I would definitely recommend him and his team for anyone seeking TMJ treatment. read more

I had a pain in my jaw for 5 years where I couldn't open it wide or it would just lock it and I couldn't eat and I didn't know what it was. Until I found Dr. Sid Solomon and he diagnosed me with TMJ disorder. The first phase of the treatment is to find a right position for my jaw with electrodes attached to a head gear and it's gonna read my jaw movements. And now 4 weeks after I can already feel the improvement and definitely living without pain is so much nicer. read more

Sid Solomon, DDS - TMJ Expert - Me and Dr. Sid Solomon - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dr Sid Solomon and his staff are absolutely wonderful! I came across this facility after being referred by a friend. Prior to the start of treatment I experienced years of consistent migraines, and locked jaw all of which were "managed" by an unreasonable amount of medication. After 9 months of treatment with the use of a dental orthotic, I no longer suffer from migraines or locked jaw. I cannot thank this establishment enough for their specialized care! read more

Dr. Solomon is extremely skilled and professional, and was able to treat my TMJ through jaw alignment.

I felt confident in this Dentist's Office from the beginning based on phone calls and their follow up. Any time I spoke with someone on the phone, everyone I spoke to was polite and thorough. My visit exceeded my expectations. I was a little nervous since I hadn't been to the dentist in years, but felt I was in great hands and feel that they have set out a good plan for me moving forward. Very grateful. Thank you to the outstanding staff and business owners! read more

I've had migraines since I was eight years old. As an adult, I noticed increasing tension in my jaw upon waking up each morning, which transitioned into a massive migraine by the late morning or middle of the day. The only thing that took the edge off the pain was my prescription migraine medication. But I could only take a limited number per month (and thus began running out by the end of each month). And yes, I was sleeping with a professionally molded/fitted mouthguard for all of those years. Then, last November (2023), I woke up with a locked jaw. After a series of useless treatments with a chiropractor in Pasadena (who claimed to specialize in TMJ), I went to a highly recommended dentist at Cedars. She gave me a Cortizone shot, and said the next step was to take some impressions so that we could make a new mouthguard. The Cortizone shot did in fact unlock my jaw (for which I was eternally grateful). But I knew that a "new" mouthguard created in the same way as the old one wasn't going to solve anything long-term. And I'd need a lasting solution before that cortisone shot wore off! I found Dr. Sid Solomon's office here on Yelp, read through the reviews, and sensed this was the doctor for me. A day later, my acupuncturist told me about a dentist who had cured her own TMJ and thus changed her life. And guess who that was?.. Dr. Solomon. I came in for my consultation in late November, a desperate mess. And I honestly balked at the costs (to be fair, they were presented to me via phone when I booked the appointment, which I did appreciate). But I also knew that Dr. Solomon's deep understanding of TMJ anatomy/physiology, coupled with his extremely meticulous manner of measurements (inc a combo of molds and electrodes that detect degrees of muscular tensions in various mandibular positions) were what I'd need in order to acquire an appliance that would solve the issue. And guess what? My results were IMMEDIATE. I picked up the appliance in mid-December. And in the past six weeks, I've only had two significant headaches (one due to a severe allergic reaction, and the other due to PMS). In other words, my new appliance has SOLVED my TMJ dysfunction. I no longer wake up with a stiff jaw and/or terrible neck pain. I no longer suffer daily headaches that leave me exhausted and irritable. I have a renewed sense of energy and vitality, as well as (perhaps most importantly) peace of mind. Bottom line: if you can afford Dr. Soloman, then just do it!! Seriously, I feel like I've been given my life back (and whew, that was a long review! :-)). read more

Got TMJ treatment from them. They're amazing. Super caring and thorough. Love the whole team there. So thankful to have found them :) read more

Great dentist. Helped with my TMJ so much, I don't know what I'd do without Dr. Solomon. Highly recommend!

Dr. Solomon is top notch. When I was dealing with TMJ pain, he helped solve all of my problems. He is the only practitioner I go to for anything dental related. If you are in need of a cream of the crop dentist who will take care of you like a member of his own family, look no further than Dr. Solomon. Thank you DOC! read more

Best dentist ever! Completely stopped my TMJ pain. Most thorough evaluation I've ever had at a dental office as well. Recommend to all my family. read more

Dr. Solomon is simply the best TMJ specialist you can find. He really knows how to diagnose and really treat TMJ. He is reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I am lucky to have found him and grateful for all of his help. I feel so much better after getting treated by him and I'm blessed to have found him! read more

Sid Solomon, DDS - TMJ Expert - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This review was a long time coming. I went into see Dr. Sid Solomon in the summer of 2018. I was hurting so much and having some issues opening my mouth, chewing. He gave me treatment to fix my tmj. Using all these high high tech machines that claim to fix tmj and get you the correct bite. Right off the bat it was about 8500-9000 for his treatment. My husband said what a rip off, but I was desperate. Over the months, I had an orthotic appliance 3500 to fix my tmj. Ate with it and wore it 24/7. It took care of the issue about 50-75% as long as wore it 24/7. I was told prob need it full time 3-6 months. After 1 year was still wearing it full time and it would break every 2-3 months! After 1-2 years said forget it(10-11 thousand spent now) they never took my insurance. lol. Then went back and was told would need this all the time or get botox. Silly me again, got a new guard... they on purpose lost my bite and charged me 2500! so now we are 13-14 k in! Never fixed issue and hurt so much my tmj. Finally by May of 2021 said forget it. Forward 2022 and moved back home to Michigan. Saw my local dentist from my childhood. He fitted me for a night guard. Cost with insurance $125 and never has broken. I wear it usually at nights, but do forget and my tmj has improved since 2022 by 90%. I chew gum, eat seeds, nuts, jerky! and no pain. So 125 dollars helped me tons and 14 thousand did nothing except heartache. His wife wore Prada daily. You know why? they prey on patients desperate and charge outrageous prices and never fix the issue. Tmj treatment should never cost so much! insurance should cover and this place is a scam. In my opinion. I cried a lot over the money they took from us and did not realize was scammed until 4-5 years later. Go to a dentist, get insurance to cover and refuse to pay over 500! it will fix the issue of tmj more. I hope this review helps someone NOT make the mistake I did! You can see a dentist and get a nightguard. Don't fall for his ways. They lie and he is in it to make money, lot's of it. Beverly Hills a rip off! Trust me on this. Oh also he will tell you only he can fix issues that dentist not educated on tmj. My local dentist for $125. read more

I trusted in Dr. Solomon's TMJ diagnosis and his TMJ treatment and I am all the better for it. His method is no surgery, no needles , no fluff... just smart science. He cares, he is legitimate and he is a real healer. My jaw pain and headaches are gone and I am so happy i took care of this issue by going to him. He has also done some dental work for me and im very satisfied with my results! Thank you Dr. Solomon! read more

Dr. Sid is an excellent and incredibly gentle dentist. He listens to his patients and does not recommend unnecessary dental procedures that many other dental providers talk their patients into. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Sid and his staff. They are also very considerate about scheduling appointments and helped me schedule it as per my convenience. The dental office is also very beautiful and creates a relaxing ambience prior to any procedure being performed. I find this to be a must have for those who do not like going to the dentist! read more

Sid Solomon, DDS - TMJ Expert - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Extremely unprofessional. I booked a dental appointment 2 months ago. They let me know that they would be able to accept my insurance until dec 1. I told them that was fine I just needed a check up and we scheduled the appointment for November 30. I get a call 3 days before the appointment I had waited 2 months for saying they will not take me anymore because they changed their mind and did not want to give me an appointment anymore. Extremely unprofessional and unethical especially when it is medical. Update: they ended up calling and apologizing and trying to "get me in" after this review was posted. I give them respect for owning up to the unprofessionalism. read more

TL;DR if you are facing a complex or severe TMJ case you need to book a consult with Dr. Sid Solomon. He may just be able to save your life! A little background on myself: I am a 26 Y/O Male with a severe and tumultuous history with TMJ. I've had orthognathic surgery and multiple rounds of orthodontics that have left me crippled with pain. As such, I have done an enormous amount of research into the Neuromuscular, and more importantly, the Gneuromuscular space (gnathological neurological space). Dr. Sid's background and understanding goes wayyyyyyy beyond just taking a TENS bite and sending you on your merry way. I have been to EVERY TMJ specialist in the Los Angeles area, and Dr. Sid is the ONLY one who practices and- simply put- understands how a K7 evaluation should be done. Dr. Solomon will be able to find your bite in a way that no other specialist in Los Angeles can. Trust me, I spent $11,000 dollars at the other main "neuromuscular dentist" in Los Angeles, and I deeply deeply deeply regret doing that. But I think more importantly than the above, Dr. Solomon and Fay have the WARMEST hearts ever. They truly care about their patients' health, and it shows in both of their bed-side manners/attentiveness when you are consulting with them. If you are in a dark place or are in severe pain, I would highly recommend coming to Dr. Solomon FIRST. Don't waste your time at any of the other "TMJ specialists." It is a pervasively misunderstood malady, and it is incredibly easy to make your symptoms worse. Don't risk it. Trust Dr. Solomon, and he will help you. read more

Going to the dentist has never been a more enjoyable experience than it has been this past year... Dr. Solomon is thoughtful and brilliant and really cares about his patients. I started a course of Invisalign about six months ago and after completing the first phase he wasn't fully satisfied - so we extended the plan to get things even better. So many professionals these days don't share this care and pride for their work. The entire staff at Dr. Solomon's office is incredible. They treat you like family; with kindness, and respect. I am so grateful to have found these wonderful people and now I actually look forward to going to the dentist... wow! read more

I have suffered from TMJ for several years, which it has been very debilitating and painful, to say the least. After years of looking for treatments, and trust me, I tried them all (dentists, clinics, acupuncture, physical therapy, retainers, mouth appliances, night guards, and I can keep going), I found Dr. Sid Solomon. Not only his approach is effective, he is caring and very knowledgeable. I do not have enough nice words to say about Dr. Solomon. His treatment has been lifesaving. If you suffer from TMJ, do yourself a favor and make an appointment. His office staff is great, very accommodating and helpful with your appointments and insurance claims. read more

I have had a long run trying to find the right treatment for my TMJ pain. It's hard not to give up after trying a few different locations but my pain was constant enough I really couldn't ignore it. I found Dr. Solomon's practice through Google and am thankful the staff was very transparent about the treatment, cost, and other expectations when I called. The treatment was noninvasive and way more comfortable for me to agree to than surgery. After several months of wearing my orthotic and going back for adjustments, I have had a huge decrease in migraines and overall discomfort. Extremely grateful to have found a professional and caring doctor like Dr. Solomon. I would highly recommend seeing him if you've had trouble finding the right treatment for TMJ so far. read more

This review is not for services, it is for the consultation only. Possibly the orthotics really work for tmj, but the sales tactics used screamed snake oil to me. They start with an assessment of your posture. Sounds good right? I buy that bad posture can contribute to jaw pain. Well.. he brought up my posture reading and showed where I have some spinal asymmetry with the way I stand. Then he showed a picture with 'how I would look in twenty years' which basically had my spine totally twisted and messed up. And then began to argue that not only was my tmj the cause of my minor posture issues, but that if I didn't fix my tmj, a totally crippled spine would be the result. Uhm what? Total bs scare tactic. He then described in great detail how bite issues get worse and worse over time in a an extremely animayed way. Again, it felt like scare tactics to me - I've had many consultations and never had this level of 'hard sell'. Worse still, he hadn't even looked at my bite or mouth yet. The first thing that happens at any legitimate consultation is an examination. That happened in the last ten minutes of the consult and almost no detail as to the status of my bite, what I could expect to see improved with treatment, and why some treatments would be better than others, etc. was given. The dentist didn't mention any alternate treatments to the 6k orthotic, like Botox, he went in straight for the hard sell and scare tactics on the orthotic. Pass. read more

A very neat and small clinic so + points I went their for a routine cleaning. Very friendly doctors and staff +point They took X-rays and measured depths, scared me that I will loose my teeth if I don't get deep cleaning and antibiotics. Even though I had an insurance they managed to bill me $550. They charged me for everything including services not performed (or postponed for the next visit). For example, I was charged for antibiotics for four shots but I rmbmr getting just two. They never compared bills with actual treatment offered as it might have clarified my doubts. I was sort of forced to buy a mouthwash (30+ dollars) which I later realized that is not even FDA approved. According to doctors if I don't use it, I might have problems again. To add up doctor walked up and tried to convince me to get cosmetic surgery even though everything is ok with my teeth (according to the other dentist). They even offered a free checkup with some other doctor who after checking tried to tell me that I should get some other surgery (some 1500 USD per quarter or in that range) and according to him it is not absolutely necessary. After my visits I felt that it is more like a money making business rather than a clinic. If you decide to go be careful and always take second opinion before you agree to spend 100s of dollars. I am sure he is a qualified dentist and his team is well trained but money oriented thinking is not encouraging to revisit this clinic. read more

Update: Following my review, they called my insurance and reimbursed me $200. It's rare enough to write an update. The team is really caring. Thank you! read more

Love this office. Dr. Solomon is a TMJ guru. He helped find my bite with the orthosis and now I'm doing Invisalign. Could not be happier. His diagnosis was spot on when so many other doctors couldn't get it. Every visit is seamless. They came through for me just as they promised. The staff is super friendly and the office itself has a great comfortable vibe. Highly suggest this office for anyone doing cleanings, bite problems and Invisalign! read more

I'd be struggling with TMJ pain for years. I was prescribed a bite guard by a general dentist but a different TMJ expert I saw said that was exacerbating the problem. I was then upgraded to a custom fit device that helped but I still had a lot of pain in the ears, face, etc. A desperate search led me to Dr. Solomon's office and in the year + that I have been wearing the orthotic device he made for me, I'd say 95% of the pain has gone. There is no getting around how expensive it is, but at least it was non-invasive (which eased my initial hesitation) and has been a massive help. If your TMJ is mild it may not be necessary but for anyone who is suffering with a lot of pain, a consultation with Dr. Solomon may be worth it. read more

I could write a novel here but what it comes down to is the fact that Dr. Solomon told me verbatim I couldn't have an underlying issue for my jaw issues because I was young. Apparently pediatric rheumatology doesn't exist. If you have condylar bone loss, save your money and move on. He/his office could not find a single patient with advanced bone loss willing to talk to me and tell me it worked for them. I tried it myself anyways. I wore the appliance 24/7 for months until the pain was intolerable. I would take it out to rest my jaw. Eventually my dog chewed it up, and she did me a favor. I even went back to have it remade, because apparently I'm an idiot. The second one was as bad as the first. read more

Amazing and professional service I always get treated with a smile and my smile has never look so good. read more

Nicest staff and doctor in town. They helped me out even though I'm from out of state. He is a real TMJ expert!!!!!!! So happy I found him

Normally, we all dread the dentist office, but not when I come see Dr. Solomon--and I have been for the past six or seven years. His staff is friendly and caring and then he comes in to take care of business with knowledge, patience, experience, and camaraderie. You can trust what they're diagnosing and trust they have your best interest when suggesting treatments. read more

2stars 2 stars it keeps auto changing to 5. This place sucks.. find a more honest practice I heard they exist still Dental offices have become worse than used car sales. I got a deep cleaning almost a week ago and I am still in pain.. she numbed only on my outer gums. I was in pain during the whole procedure and still tender. I have had deep cleanings before and never this bad. She us ruthless and horrific. I felt her stabbing my gums on the inside over and over again. I almost cried a couple of times. then I was told to get another in 4 months. UMM NOPE ..deep cleaning I get but why more often?? The " sales people " are terrible. I stayed silent while she rambled on and showed me proof of what my deductible might be. I never denied it but her over- reaction was a HUGE REDFLAG. as a salesperson I know it's a sign of insecurity and confidence in the practice and the charges.I thought the doctor was good he said he would recommend another doctor to me and absolute no follow up so sincerity comes to question. I will not be returning. I am still looking for a dentist that has not sunk to used car salespeople tactics. read more
