About This Provider

Dr. Robert A. Utsman, DDS, MPM specializes in orofacial pain management and temporomandibular disorders at MUSC School of Dental Medicine in Charleston, SC. Since 2011, he has been involved in educating and training dentists in TMJ disorders and orofacial pain research, positioning him at the crossroads of academic advancement and direct patient care. Dr. Utsman treats a wide spectrum of orofacial conditions, including bruxism, trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic pain, chronic headaches, sleep disorders, and complex jaw and muscle pain affecting the face and head. His clinical philosophy pairs evidence-based treatment with a firm belief that patients are active partners in their own recovery. Through structured self-management training, he equips patients with tools to manage pain between visits and reduce long-term dependence on clinical care. His interdisciplinary team model ensures complex cases draw on expertise across multiple specialties before a treatment plan is set.
