What Facial Pain Specialists does

Facial Pain Specialists is a private medical practice focused on diagnosing and treating complex orofacial pain and sleep disorders in the San Diego and Los Angeles areas. It serves patients with facial pain, TMJ disorders, headaches and migraines, sleep apnea, and trigeminal neuralgia, particularly cases that have not responded to other treatments. The practice lists five providers, all board-certified by the American Board of Orofacial Pain, and combines medication management, therapeutic injections, oral appliances, laser therapy, PRF/PRP injections, CBCT imaging, and home sleep screening in individualized care plans.\n\nThe business is primarily referral-led, with formal referrals from primary care physicians, dentists, ENT specialists, and maxillofacial surgeons, while also accepting direct patient appointments; it reports 90-minute initial consultations, 24–48-hour referral response times, and typical new-patient waits of two to three weeks. Revenue comes from consultation and follow-up fees, therapeutic injections, custom oral appliances, diagnostics, and selected self-pay services, with listed prices spanning $75 to $3,350. The practice accepts most major medical insurance plans, excludes dental insurance, and supplements reimbursement with co-pays, deductibles, installment plans, and CareCredit financing.
