Dr. Ramanna works exclusively with patients who have jaw pain, disrupted sleep, and facial pain — many of whom have already spent years being passed between providers without a clear answer. Her approach is conservative, evidence-based, and built around your specific case.

This practice is dedicated entirely to orofacial pain, jaw disorders, sleep apnea, and facial neuralgia — conditions that are often misdiagnosed or underserved in general dental and medical settings.
As a solo practice, every patient works directly with me from the first consultation through the entire course of treatment. There are no handoffs, no rotating staff, and no one-size-fits-all protocols — just careful, individualized care based on the best current evidence.
Conditions that are frequently misdiagnosed or underserved in general dental and medical settings. We specialize in exactly these.
Most patients who come here have already seen multiple providers without a clear diagnosis. This practice exists to change that.
This practice treats nothing but orofacial pain, jaw disorders, sleep apnea, and facial neuralgia — so every protocol, every tool, and every appointment is built around exactly those conditions.
Treatment starts with the most conservative, reversible options available — oral appliances, physical therapy guidance, and targeted lifestyle changes — before anything more involved is considered.
You see the same person from your first consultation through your entire course of care. No handoffs, no rotating staff, no repeating your history to someone new.
One specialist. One consistent relationship. From your first visit to your last.
