About This Provider

Dr. Matthew Simon is a board-certified orofacial pain specialist at Facial Pain Specialists, with clinic locations in Vista, San Diego, and Los Angeles. He holds the Diplomate designation from the American Board of Orofacial Pain (ABOP #1646, certified 2023), a credential earned by a small percentage of dental professionals who pass rigorous specialty examinations. His academic training spans a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry, a Doctorate of Dental Surgery, and a Master's in Oral Biology, giving him a scientific foundation that reaches well beyond standard dental school preparation. Dr. Simon treats conditions most general dentists are not trained to diagnose: TMJ disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic facial pain, migraines, and obstructive sleep apnea. He focuses on patients who have already tried first-line treatments without lasting relief. His approach is conservative and nonsurgical by design. He builds each treatment plan by first taking a complete history, then applying a multimodal strategy that may include CBCT imaging, advanced injectable therapies, custom orthotics, and medication management to reduce pain and restore daily function.
