Insurance made simple

Dr. Patel provides care as an out-of-network provider so your treatment is always based on your health needs, not on insurance codes or restrictions. While payment is due at the time of service, we make the process easier by partnering with a professional billing company that:

Verifies PPO benefits before your consultation

Files claims on your behalf after treatment begins

Helps guide you through reimbursement

*We do not file HMO, Medicaid, or Medicare plans. Medicare patients will sign an “opt-out” agreement since Medicare does not cover appliance therapy. While we can’t guarantee reimbursement, many patients receive partial benefits, and our team is here to help along the way.

Flexible payment options

Everyone deserves access to relief. That’s why we accept a wide range of payment methods and offer flexible financing plans that make treatment affordable. If you’re not sure which option is best for you, our team is always here to answer questions and provide guidance.

Verifies PPO benefits before your consultation

0% interest for 12 months

A consultation with Dr. Patel is the first step toward relief. During this visit, you’ll receive a thorough evaluation that may include imaging, a jaw and supporting structure assessment, and a review of your health history and symptoms. Dr. Patel will then walk you through your diagnosis and treatment options in clear, simple terms.

This visit is your opportunity to get answers, understand your options, and start moving toward lasting relief.

"I was diagnosed with TMJ a few years ago by my ENT. It recently began to get worse and I was experiencing headaches, jaw pain, and ear pain. After being seen by Dr. Patel and wearing my appliance, in just 2 weeks I already felt a huge difference!"

Morgan M.

"After 1 year of severe Pain and Dizziness I was referred to Dr Patel. He examined me and told me I would need to wear an Orthotic to ease the pain and get rid of dizziness. After 2 months I was amazed at how good I was feeling. No more pain in Ear and Jaw and most important to me was the horrible dizziness went from a 10 to a 2. I'm so happy I came to Dr Patel and cant wait to be completely healed."

Nancy W.

"My jaw was locking at least once a week, and I had to take Ativan to unlock it. After one month of wearing Dr. Patel's appliance I have had no issues or pain with locking. My quality of life has increased so much as I am pain free, and my life doesn't revolve around my jaw locking! I wish I had come here sooner!"

Jess V.

"Through this treatment my jaw pain has gone away. If I forget to wear it one night I can feel the difference the next morning. It has certainly made a difference in my life."

Shana B.

"Its still early days, as I’ve only been wearing the appliance for one week, but I notice a significant decline in episodes of dizziness. I’m very grateful to see this and hope it continues! Thank you!"

Linda P.

"I am amazed and shocked at how much better my sleep has improved. All due to an oral appliance by Dr. Patel and his wonderful staff. I have not felt this good in years due to my sleep apnea. I did the Inspire Surgery, it didn't help. Finally, I found Dr. Patel & my life has completely changed. Thank you Dr. Patel & staff! You guys are amazing!"

Molly A.

"Very grateful to Dr. Patel and his incredible staff for my treatment these past 4 months. TMJ pain is so debilitating - impacting days and nights... The impact that Dr. Patel and his staff has been life-changing! My next mission is to get the insurance industry to recognize TMJ pain as a REAL issue and not get swept under the rug and not covered - Thank you to Suburban TMJ & Sleep Center!"

Jane H.

"About a year ago I came to Dr. Patel with my TMJ issue. The team was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Patel was clear and resourceful. In the first few weeks my symptoms started to subside. I am now to the point where I rarely feel my jaw pop, and the lockjaw is completely gone. This has been one of the best investments in my physical health that I have made."

Genesis C.

"After suffering with Chronic Pain for years, I have finally found relief thanks to Dr. Patel. I have my life, but most importantly, my sanity, back. To get instant relief once my appliance was fit almost brought tears to my eyes and made everything worth while. I would highly recommend others, and have already, to get a consultation with Dr. Patel to even just get answers and the peace of mind that you are not crazy and pain is not normal. Very satisfied and looking forward to more progress as my care continues."

Ann M.

"I came in to the office with a pain that I didn't think was able to go away. I started to get used to my jaw pain and limited range of motion. However within just one week of wearing my appliance, my symptoms cut in almost half! I experienced a relief that I didn't know was possible. I am a college student and deal with a ton of stress, but knowing that my jaw pain is one less thing to worry about is all props to Dr. Patel + the staff. I'm excited to see my results going forward!"
