The process was long but with guidance and support the entire way. I have multiple chronic health issues and the team here understood and worked with me to solve my jaw misalignment and pain. I don’t have jaw pain or instability and sleep better without dry mouth as I’m able to close gently without blocking my airway or clenching my jaw.

I can't express how grateful I am to Dr. Sweeney & his staff. First, they are so welcoming, I felt comfotable from the start & knew I was in good hands. I went in with concerns about the aesthtics of my smile & jaw alignment. After thorough examination, Dr.

Sweeney offers a functional approach, getting to the root of the problem. Dr. Sweeney and his staff took the time to understand my needs, create a comprehensive plan, and explain everything along the way. I'm beyond happy with the results, my smile has never looked or felt better! Highly recommend!!

I am so thankful to Dr. Sweeney and his incredible staff for all the time and energy they have invested in my case. I’m in my mid- thirties, and I never expected to have jaw issues. Finding out where to go and how to treat was exhausting, and I finally was referred to this office— and so thankful I was! It’s a big investment, but for me, the thoughtful, skilled, and patient care I received to make sure my bite/jaw is feeling great has been instrumental in making me feel better.

And best of all, I feel at ease knowing that Sweeney and his staff are always making sure they get it right. Thank you for all you have done.

When I first met Dr. Sweeney, my mouth was incapable of opening wide enough to accommodate a grape. Every morning, I awoke with severe jaw pain and most mornings, that pain was accompanied by an inability to initially open my mouth. I had battled jaw pain since my 20s as well as intense left eye pain that ultimately led to a “glaucoma suspect” diagnosis in my 40s. My second visit with Dr. Sweeney included a CBCT scan to evaluate the TMJs, which revealed a jaw injury caused by an auto accident when I was 18 (then 33 years ago). After the first month of treatment, my jaw and eye pain diminished substantially and by the sixth month of treatment, I was pain free thanks to the orthotic device created and routinely adjusted by Dr. Sweeney. My three-year journey with Dr.

Sweeney included repairing TMJ dysfunction, my bite and tooth erosion of most teeth. However, that journey included immeasurably more thanks to Dr. Sweeney’s holistic care approach. His treatment plan focuses on the uniqueness of each patient, which requires an extraordinary investment of his time that he willingly provides. Such investment includes late evening and weekend checkups via texts and accommodating patients on non-appointment days to adjust orthotic devices. Over the course of my journey, Dr. Sweeney befriended my husband, and I befriended his amazing wife. Correction of TMJ dysfunction requires a significant investment of time by the patient and the dentist. The time invested by Dr.

Sweeney obviously translates in part to a financial cost for the patient, which is worth every single cent. The myopic-minded individual suffering from TMJ dysfunction may foolishly focus on the financial cost only. However, for those of us who understand all the non-financial costs associated with TMJ surgery, Focus Dentistry offers an unparalleled solution. Finally, any review of Focus Dentistry must include Shelly, Dr. Sweeney’s accomplished assistant. Shelly and Dr. Sweeney possess a rapport that makes each visit entertaining. As a new patient who arrived in considerable pain and with an innate distrust of people generally, Shelley’s gracious and unpretentious personality established an atmosphere of trust from the outset.
