So grateful to have found this lovely group. From the sweet lady on my first phone call to the very thorough and gentle Dr. Kanti and her assistant Lexi, I felt very taken care of. I actually enjoyed my time with them, in spite of my painful TMJ. But I am confident they are going to fix it. I was given options and exercises. Everyone communicated clearly about what I may expect, throughout my exam and treatment. They are awesome!

The office of Orofacial Pain Associate staff are very friendly and helpful. They always acknowledge me as I come in. I’ve been seeing Dr. Kanti for about four months. She is very attentive and interested in addressing all of my concerns. My pain has greatly improved with my
new night guard. I’m thrilled I was referred to this office.
Making an appointment was easy. Check-in and paperwork were a very reasonable amount. The staff was kind and empathetic, and the Dr. Kanti took her time explaining my diagnosis and a variety of options following the exam. I felt no pressure to buy extra solutions, and check out
