  Dr. and staff are incredible! I started my therapy with a 9/10 pain level. I could hardly open my mouth and chewing food was almost impossible. Now I’m pain free and I feel amazing! Would highly recommend to everyone.

  I’ve had TMJ for years and really needed a second opinion on the current appliance another provider had given me. Dr. Brad Sainsbury and his medical assistant did a very thorough examination and very clearly explained to me the issues I am struggling with. They offered an alternative to the splint I was provided that was changing my bite. Thanks to the care they provided me with, I am now on the way to getting my jaw pain issues resolved and getting my teeth realigned.
The staff was extremely personable as well. Victoria was very helpful with explaining the appliance options for me and what pricing looks like.
Very thankful for their services!

  Dr. Sainsbury and his staff have significantly helped my constant TMJ issues that I've had forever! Follow the protocol to a T, do the exercises, and make your appointments and you'll feel so much better. After the few couple of weeks of adjusting to the daytime appliance I could tell that I made a good decision seeking out this office to assist with my issues.

Dr. Steven Olmos is Proud to Pass the Baton!

Dr. Olmos, a renowned expert in the field of craniofacial pain and sleep breathing disorders, has announced that he has passed ownership of the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Diego to Dr. Brad Sainsbury.

More Than 20 Years of Excellence Continues

Dr. Olmos has been an integral part of the centre since its inception and has been instrumental in its growth and success. He has dedicated his career to helping patients suffering from TMJ disorders and sleep apnea, and has trained hundreds of dentists around the world in the latest treatment techniques.

Dr. Sainsbury Brings Experience

An expert in his own right, Dr. Sainsbury has been providing excellent care to his patients for over 15 years and will continue to rise through the field of TMJ & Sleep Therapy.

Are you or a loved one feeling pain or sleep-deprivation?

There are a lot of items on the market that claim they treat TMJ pain and sleep disorders. Most of these products offer little to no relief. Why is that? Because both TMJ pain and sleep disorders are secondary conditions that are caused by an underlying primary condition. Just what this condition is will vary from patient to patient. However, without treating it, no progress will be seen. We have developed a proven system for the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial pain, which includes facial pain, joint pain, ear pain, and even migraines. San Diego residents also can count on our expert approach to sleep-related breathing disorders, which we are able to treat without surgery. Our methods have helped adults live better lives, eliminated headaches in children, and even solved cases of chronic bed wetting.
