A Letter from Dr. Amason:

As you are probably aware, most dentists are not comfortable treating TMJ disorders. This is not surprising considering the limited time spent on the subject in most dental schools. There are, however, educational sources for just such knowledge and training. The Pankey Institute, Dr. Pete Dawson's Educational and Research Center, and Dr. Mark Piper have all been very instrumental in advancing what is known about the TMJ and how it relates to occlusion, function and esthetics.

I have been successfully treating and managing TMJ cases since 1994. It's an aspect of dentistry I truly enjoy. I find it extremely rewarding to be able to help people out of pain, particularly when they have been told there is no hope. I am dedicated to serving people who are in need. If you would like a resource to refer your TMJ patients, or would simply like to discuss my philosophy, I would love to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Dr. Lee Amason
