As founding partner of Lunn Dentistry, Dr. Riley has been treating patients since 1969. While trained in general dentistry, his expertise is in evaluating and treating craniofacial pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. TMJ and muscle disorders, commonly called “TMD,” are a group of painful conditions that affect the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movements. For many people, TMJ symptoms seem to start without obvious reason. If you are experiencing pain discomfort in your jaw muscles, please feel free to ask Dr. Riley if your craniofacial symptoms might be related to a joint or muscle disorder.
In addition to practicing dentistry and working to improve the lives of patients suffering from temporomandibular joint and sleep problems, Dr. Riley is founder of CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular and Sleep Practice. Since 1987, he has been involved in cutting edge research in dental medicine and, as publisher of this journal, has made a major contribution to the international dental world. Currently, Dr. Riley serves as editor in chief.
Dr. Riley is also an internationally known speaker, and he has lectured on treating TMD in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
