Detailed Introduction

The TMJ & Headache Center, situated at 29099 Health Campus Dr #220, Westlake, OH, is a specialized clinic dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and their associated headaches and facial pain. Led by practitioners such as Dr. Shokri Wahib, DDS, FICCMO, FAACP, and Dr. Alexander Lambrinides, DDS, the center emphasizes a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach, collaborating with other medical professionals when necessary to ensure holistic patient care. Their services are designed to address a wide array of symptoms stemming from TMJ dysfunction, including but not limited to jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, difficulty chewing, headaches (including migraines), earaches, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), neck pain, and facial pain. The clinic utilizes advanced diagnostic technologies to pinpoint the root cause of these issues. These include Joint Vibration Analysis, Electromyographic (EMG) Studies to assess muscle function, Computerized Tomography (CT) for detailed imaging, Computerized Jaw Tracking to analyze jaw movement, and Pharyngometry and Rhinometry for assessing airway function, which can be related to sleep disorders often co-occurring with TMJ issues. They also offer overnight home sleep studies to identify potential sleep-related factors contributing to TMJ problems. The treatment philosophy at TMJ & Headache Center focuses on achieving long-term relief and restoring optimal jaw function. They are equipped to handle complex cases and are often referred patients by general dentists when conservative measures prove insufficient. The center is committed to providing personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs and health goals, aiming to improve overall quality of life by alleviating chronic pain and discomfort.

The TMJ Headache Center is a lifesaver for anyone trapped in chronic jaw pain. For years, I dealt with daily headaches and jaw soreness that made eating and talking miserable—doctors brushed it off as stress, but Dr. Carter took it seriously. From the first visit, he listened to my history, did thorough scans, and explained TMJ in a way that finally made sense. His custom treatment plan—including a night guard and gentle exercises—started easing pain within weeks.

The staff is patient, checking in regularly to adjust the plan, and the office feels calm, which helps with anxiety. After 6 months, I’m headache-free and can chew again without wincing. It’s not just dental care—it’s life-changing. If you’re suffering, don’t wait—this team gets it.

Dr. Wahib and his staff are awesome. Dr. Wahib has the best bed side manner of any doctor I’ve ever met. I never have to wait for an appointment they are always on time and care about my concerns.

I think I laugh every time I leave that office and it is very easy to schedule follow ups. I went in with a locked jaw and after following his treatment plan am finally doing much better. I highly recommend him.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went to Dr Wahib for TMJ treatment and received a "customized" splint which they send to a lab to get made based on tests that the dentist himself does NOT even perform. He has his assistant do it. Needless to say it came back and did not fit well at all. He spends a ton of time with you at the consult and sweet talks you into buying the appliance then you never see him after that. At the follow ups, it is his assistant that does them.

Not one time did they ever even look in my mouth at a follow up. I went in several times complaining it did not fit right or was hitting real hard in one spot and they kept saying it was fine. . . I was in even more pain going to this place than I was beforehand. Oh and he HATES if you ask questions.

If someone truly understands something then questions should be welcomed in my opinion. . . fast forward I found a new TMJ dentist and HE personally did the tests and made the splint and within days my pain was gone!! And each visit he uses bite paper to make sure the teeth are hitting correctly where they should and will adjust it as needed (which it's needed at each follow up!) This new dentist has been life changing and I wish I had went with my gut when it came to Dr Wahib and never wasted my time or money going there. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE!! Do your research and follow your gut feeling. I wish I had!

DON’T ever go to Dr Wahib. If I could choose 0 for his review I would. I bit into something hard and I heard something crack in my jaw. I was recommended to see a TMJ specialist and dr Wahib was located in my area. I so wish I had gotten other options. don’t make the same mistake I did. I paid over $3,000 dollars to become his patient and be treated. I saw him one time.

Only for the consultation and for him to took my money and never saw him again. Month after month His assistant measured my mouth opening and that was it. She tried to answer my questions but never made any sense to me what these devices were meant to do. I paid him to treat me and never once was treated by him. I never was shown my jaw scan or did they take another scan after the 4 months were over. I was then told I had to pay 60 dollars a month if I wanted to continue my treatment CONTINUE, you got to be Kidding, Dr wahib did nothing but take my money. The assistant made my mouth devices not the doctor and these devices made my jaw worse. His assistant did all the work and tried to answer my questions and at the end of my treatment I was told by the assistant I may need braces or caps if I want my bite corrected.

Another$7,000 dollars. Please read some of the other reviews. They read like mine. Spread the word. DO NOT GO TO DR WAHIB. E V E R!
