About This Provider

Dr. Paula Barbisan is the founder of CARE TMJ & Dental Sleep Therapy in Boca Raton, Florida, and one of a select group of clinicians in the United States holding Diplomate certification from the American Board of Orofacial Pain. She trained at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where she completed a specialized residency in orofacial pain, a discipline requiring expertise far beyond standard dental training. She also holds a PhD from the University of Campinas, Piracicaba Dental School in Brazil, grounding her clinical work in research-level understanding of pain mechanisms. Dr. Barbisan specializes in TMJ disorders, facial pain, neuropathic pain, headaches, teeth grinding, and obstructive sleep apnea. Her practice is built on evidence-based, conservative, and reversible therapies, meaning she addresses the source of your pain without permanently altering your jaw or bite. Patients consistently describe her as thorough and genuinely validating, particularly those who have seen multiple providers without resolution. She conducts evaluations in both English and Portuguese, ensuring clear communication for Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking patients throughout South Florida.
