I want to say thank you to Dr. Beck and his team. I had been suffering with sinus problems and ear pain for years. Dr. Beck was recommended for me to see for my TMJ symptoms. Dr. Beck has been treating my TMJ for about a year and my symptoms I had suffered with for years has improved tremendously. Once again thank you for the great treatment and care.

I’ve been sick on and off for a very long time after covid, all kinds of “aches” and been going to the doctor a lot but nothing really helps. I thought, I am just getting old and accept the wear and tear of my body. One day one side of my face hurt so bad that I must hold my face down when I yawn. To make it short, I landed at Dr. Beck’s office. I was impressed with his care that he took time to explained to me the reason for my facial pain. So, I have TMJ. I followed his recommendation, and my fitted mouthguard is the cure for my aches. My headache, neck, and shoulder pain are gone! and I am sleeping better. Thank you, guys.
I would highly recommend everyone to this office. Dr. Beck took time to listen, and his staff are amazing.

Dr. Beck and his staff have changed my life!! When I first visited Dr. Beck, I thought my life was over. In August, I had suddenly started clenching my jaw ALL the time - night and day. I was even biting my tongue and causing it to swell up. I couldn't control it. I was miserable and so uncomfortable and had no idea what was going on. Dr. Beck gave a full exam and they scanned my teeth and made an appliance to fit my mouth that I wore all the time (except to eat) and an additional one for my bottom teeth to wear at night. My insurance didn't cover it, but his cash price was very reasonable. It is now mid-January and I feel like a different person. My clenching and pain has significantly decreased. I'm so happy that I didn't have to take any prescription drugs or go to any other specialists. I feel like I got my life back. I just want to thank Dr. Beck and his staff (who were all so nice and supportive!) for helping me. I highly recommend Dr. Beck!

I went in with tons of jaw pain and difficulty with breathing when I slept. Dr. Beck and his staff created a perfectly fitting appliance for me that has alleviated nearly all of my pain and helped me to sleep so much better!
The staff here is so friendly, kind and caring. It feels like a family environment. Dr. Beck has countless years of experience behind him, and I would recommend him every single time!

The cost of the mouth guard for my TMJ was well worth it. Before I got my appliance I was not sleeping through the night. My jaw and ears hurt so bad I could barely chew. Now I sleep through the night and there is no pain in my jaw or in my ears and I can eat even hard to chew things without pain. I would recommend them not only for the effectiveness of their treatment but because of their friendly and helpful staff.
