Chronic Headaches & Migraines
If you suffer from frequent headaches that haven't responded to traditional treatments, specialized orofacial pain care may be the answer. Dr. Kruman treats primary headaches including migraines, tension-type headaches, cluster headaches, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias.
Many chronic headache sufferers don't realize their pain may be related to jaw disorders, muscle tension, or other orofacial conditions. Dr. Kruman's comprehensive evaluation can identify contributing factors that other providers may have missed.

Sleep Apnea & Dental Sleep Medicine
Sleep apnea affects 26% of adults ages 30–70, disrupting sleep quality and impacting overall health. If you cannot tolerate CPAP or are looking for an alternative treatment, oral appliance therapy may be an excellent option.
Dr. Kruman is trained in dental sleep medicine and works closely with sleep physicians to provide custom oral appliances for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. These devices are FDA-approved and clinically proven to effectively treat mild to moderate sleep apnea and can be an alternative for patients who struggle with CPAP.
