He brings more than 15 years of clinical experience to diagnosing and treating complex pain conditions of the head, jaw, face, and neck. Dr. Onurlu earned his dental degree from Marmara University in Turkey, trained as a visiting scholar at NYU's Center for Facial Pain & Head Pain, and completed his residency at UCLA in Orofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine, one of the most rigorous training pathways available in this specialty. He focuses on conditions that are frequently missed or mismanaged in general dental settings: temporomandibular disorders, chronic migraines, myofascial pain, neuropathic pain, obstructive sleep apnea, and burning mouth syndrome. His clinical approach centers on the whole patient rather than isolated symptoms, using personalized, nonsurgical strategies to restore function and improve daily quality of life.
