Education & Training of Dr. Svetlana Prisiazhnykh, TMJ Specialist in Dubai
My Academic Background in Dentistry
My academic journey in dentistry began with a deep interest in how jaw function affects overall health and well-being. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to understanding the biomechanics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the most effective ways to diagnose and treat disorders conservatively.

How Education Shapes My TMJ Approach
All of this training has allowed me to take a holistic, evidence-based approach to treating TMJ disorders. Whether it's understanding how a patient's bite influences their posture, or using functional jaw tracking for precise occlusal therapy — I rely on both my academic foundation and practical insights gained from years of ongoing learning.
