I saw Dr. Demerjian at Kaiser. He was so knowledgeable and kind. I was impressed at the level of knowledge that he had in the overlap of dental and sleep therapy. He not only kindly explained what I needed to do, he sent me home with some video links of the instructions so I could review it at home in case I forgot. This was super helpful to me when I first got adjusted to my oral sleep appliance. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Demerjian. It's not too often where you meet an expert who is also so personable. Thank you for the wonderful experience. read more

Run away from this doctor and office. The equipment in the Burbank office for X-rays and exam looked liked it came from the 1990s. When the doctor first met me, he kept calling me "my dear" and "sweetie". Even after I told him that I wanted to be called by name. He did not tell me what I should do about my TMJ. Instead, insisted on expensive X-rays. When I asked to have them sent to my dentist, it took them three weeks. Also, i want anyone examining my mouth to wear a mask at all times. read more

I had seen a couple of specialists, dentists and physical therapists before being referred to Dr. Demerjian by a family friend. The treatments were either ineffective or made by TMJ issues worse. During my first appointment, I was skeptical of the treatment given my past experiences, but Dr. Demerjian and his staff could not have been more encouraging and patient. The preliminary before the actual treatment plan was put in place was the most extensive with multiple x rays, tests, and MRI imaging taken before a mouth piece was fashioned. At the fourth month mark is when I really began to see a difference and I gained back almost 80% of my normal mouth function. I was able to open at 51mm in comparison to the initial 31mm with no pain. I am thankful that I found a great doctor locally that uses non invasive techniques for TMJ treatment. I could not feel more grateful to be free from my discomfort and be able to eat, talk, and yawn normally again. read more

Dr. D isn't a miracle worker.... but.... he comes close to it! I found Dr. D on Yelp (thank you other Yelpers!) and what a difference it made in my quality of life. In March 2022 for at least 3 weeks (non stop) I was experiencing tension headaches (very latent and mild but chronic all day long), jaw pain, clicking when I opened my jaw, cheek soreness, and just overall a lot of pain and soreness on my face! There would be days where the headaches were so strong I had to lay down and at times it would be painful to chew and eat. (It may be helpful to know I grind my teeth when I sleep too....) After researching my symptoms online, I found out they matched TMJ. I went in for a consult with Dr. D which then started my four-month treatment. This included initial full-scan x-rays, along with extensive measurements of my bite (on all angles/sides). My range of motion was definitely limited. I was fitted with a special mouth guard and assigned special exercises to improve my range of motion (just like in regular physical therapy). Dr. D was very pragmatic and realistic about what he could and could NOT do to treat my TMJ. He was very patient in explaining how he was diagnosing me, what the measurements meant, etc. Throughout all of my many visits to Dr. D's office, I never felt like any of my questions were too insignificant. He always took time to answer any and all of my questions with patience and care. Having experienced TMJ himself, I truly felt like he understood and empathized with the pain I was experiencing. (Very impressive bedside manners.) I was also very impressed with the smooth operation at Dr. D's office (Glendora) because every time I went to see him, it was right around the time of my actual appointment. Unlike at other doctor's offices where you may be taken to a room and made to wait another 20-30 minutes before the doctor would actually see you, Dr. D was always on time. Thank you Dr. D for respecting my time as a patient!!! And thank you for your stellar support team at the Glendora office who are always so lovely and polite. I'm looking at my before and after measurements for my range of motion and the data is quantitative proof his treatment worked for me. If you are reading this review, then you may be feeling the same hesitation I did when I read all of the other older reviews. Please go see Dr. D for a consult. Do not wait another day in pain. I know I sound like an infomercial actor but I am not getting paid for this review. I am just grateful for having a normal bite again, minus all of the pain. read more

I saw Dr. Demerjian at the Kaiser Fontana Sleep Center, he was nothing but kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I'd highly recommend him for dental work of any kind. read more

This is Rebecca O. I've seen many, many doctors because I have endometriosis and have constant inflammation. Unfortunately, many of my past doctors lacked empathy, didn't have any solutions besides medications, or simply rushed me out before I was able to communicate my problems. Before I saw Dr. Demerjian I was so nervous, hoping I don't repeat my past cycle of Dr. trauma I've experienced. Shortly after my appointment started, I already knew this treatment was going to exceed my expectations. I was listened to, I felt comfortable, the staff are all wonderful. I've had such a stress free mindset coming into all my appointments ever since my second appointment. My endo makes my tmj healing a little more complicated but Dr. Demerijan has done so many techniques that have relieved my pain. I was having vertigo daily, constant persistent level 10 pains on my jaw before seeing him. Since then, it has improved! Whenever I have a bad flare up, even with my headaches he sees me right away and is always wanting to help. I've never met a caretaker who's been this patient and open to hear my concerns. I've been seeing him for a year now, and It's overall just been such a wonderful experience. If you're having issues with your tmj, and want a Dr that's worth your time please see Dr. Demerijan. He is honestly worth the money and your time. read more

Thank goodness for Dr. Demerjian and his office. I was suffering debilitating tension headaches, ear, face, neck and shoulder pain after another lockjaw episode that failed to recover. My general dentist referred me to specialist Dr. Demerjian and I'm grateful his specialty exists because after cautiously agreeing to commit to treatment and receiving the mouth appliance for which I was fitted, I experienced near-immediate and near-total relief! It has been incredible to be able to rest/sleep and move through my day virtually pain-free after his initial treatment! The appliance and treatment exercises continue to work and I have optimism for a full recovery. Also, Flora, in the office, was patient and thorough while initially explaining the financial obligation and payment options. Though I wish treatment of jaw issues was covered by health insurance, that it isn't included is a fundamental flaw in our country's health 'care' system, (which is why I organize for a single-payer healthcare, e.g., Medicare for All and CalCare), I do not regret for a second investing in the treatment I needed and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Dr. Demerjian as he and the office staff have always been professional, responsive and kind. Thank you, Dr. Demerjian! read more

Dr Gary Dermerjian is a LIFE saver for TMJ issues. I had been suffering and a teeth grinder for years with a TON of pain and within months of visiting him I went from suffering with almost daily pain to no pain at all. My first visit was back in 2015 where I received night guards and just recently went back this week for a check up and my guards were still in tact and going strong! He has the most nifty devices and utmost professionalism. I also thought it was so sweet that the receptionist Jasmine still remembered me! Added bonus is they have the best view from their examining rooms. read more

I went to Dr. Demerjian for TMJ pain and my jaw locking. After xrays to determine the cause, I was fitted for both daytime and nighttime mouth guards. After 6 months, I'm no longer using the daytime mouth guard, and am totally pain free! I'm also now able to open my mouth almost 45% more - no more cutting my food into such small pieces. Dr. D and his staff are all so nice. Never had to wait in the waiting room either. read more

Thanks to Dr. Demerjian I no longer have dental issues and I am pain free. My TMJ was so bad that I cracked my night guards, my teeth began to break, and I had blurred vision 90% of my day. After seeing him and getting new night guards that train my jaw to rest and not grind, I am now pain free and have no dizziness. Dr. Demerjian is gentle, listens, and genuinely wants to help his patients with as few visits to him as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Demerjian! read more

Dr. Demerjian has given me a better quality of life. I have always suffered with migraine headaches, jaw, neck and shoulder pain, most of my life. I'm currently in my late 50's and never realized this was due to my jaw pain (TMJ). Before I was referred to Dr. Demerjian, my pain level had increase and there were very few good days of no pain. I understand that I'm only one voice (review) however truly I want to give thanks to Dr. Demerjian, I now feel better. He and his office staff are very kind and, his treatment has made me a better person. He has given me my life back. Truly amazing...Thank you again! read more

I had been suffering from TMJ for many years and without much relief. I had been to various oral surgeons over the years with no results. I had resigned myself to living with constant jaw pain, daily headaches, throat, and neck pain. After having recently moved to Los Angeles I decided to, once again, try to get some help and relief. That is when I was referred to Dr. Gary Demerjian by my dentist as well as by my periodontist. When I went in for my first consult, I must admit I had little hope left, but in only six months that hope had returned based on the relief I felt seeing my symptoms fall away during the course of treatment. What's special about Dr. Demerjian is that each patient's treatment is customized to address their particular issues, and this is no easy feat. Instead of one blanket treatment option that hopefully addresses some of your issues, Dr. Demerjian carefully analyzes your symptoms and then creates a treatment plan just for you. Dr. Demerjian and his staff are warm and professional. I couldn't be happier with the results thus far. read more
