about the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Pittsburgh

Kayla Gelpi

TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre has been a huge blessing! I've struggled with jaw discomfort for over 4 years after a car accident, and despite my best efforts, multiple dentists and an ENT doctor didn't want to believe the possibility that I might have TMJ disorder. I was dismissed and pushed with surgery - something I didn't feel was the right solution. I finally found Dr. Belasco after some research and have received exceptional care and treatment. I've been taken seriously with my concerns and the treatment I received was worth the investment. I didn't even realize how bad I was sleeping until visiting the TMJ Centre and Dr. Belasco utilized therapies to improve my sleep as well. After years of discomfort, I'm finally seeing noticeable and positive results with less jaw discomfort and improved sleep quality. I've recommended this place to several of my friends already and will continue to sing their praises. So grateful for them!

Melissa George

We are so thankful for the treatment received here - wonderful and knowledgeable people who genuinely care and listen. Treatment was beneficial, and results are finally starting to be seen after years of suffering! Would unreservedly recommend to anyone suffering with TMJ!

Christine Castner

Who knew TMJ could impacts so many areas of my physical health and sleep that I didn’t think was bad. Dr Belasco knew and understands this issue. His treatments, attentiveness and care brought real changes with my TMJ issues. I sleep better, breathe better, and hurt less.

Anisha Ahuja

I originally went to this dentist because of TMJ pain, but ended up learning that I have obstructive sleep apnea, and that my nighttime clenching and grinding were major contributors to the chronic migraines I’ve struggled with for years. This dentist helped me so much more than any neurology office. Both Dr Belasco and Kris are always incredibly kind. There is never a wait, and I never felt rushed, even though I always came with many questions. I am grateful for finding this practice and would highly recommend them.

Erika Rodenski

I had trouble with my TMJ pain for years. I tried appliances through my dentist that did not work and was in weeks worth of flare ups, having to take time away from work and family. I took a leap of faith and went to TMJ and Sleep therapy of Pittsburgh and they changed everything. They gave me all the information I needed to understand where the pain was coming from, and got me on a treatment plan I understood and was easy to follow with new appliances that were built for me. I have been pain free since starting with them in January! I highly recommend this office and Dr Belasco.

Ryan Chapman

Had bad sinus pressure, jaw pain, migraines, and teeth pain. With their help, I was able to get my TMJ under control!

Very personable staff, Kris and doctor. Dr. Belasco spent hours with my mom. Very extensive testing to come up with a treatment plan for neuralgia. Can tell they care about their patients. For the first time after seeing numerous doctors, we are optimistic! Highly recommend.
