He has always continued to strive for excellence and to expand his scope and skills in dentistry from starting off as a 'tooth' dentist, growing to provide treatment as a whole mouth dentist and now evolving to provide dentistry in the context of the whole body.

We would like to acknowledge Dr. Nasedkin who was an integral part of the Occlusal Rehabilitation Centre for 7 years. He helped develop the clinic and treatment protocols. Dr. Nasedkin guided and mentored both myself, the team and our patients to help us realise our true abilities. He is sorely missed.
Dr. Nasedkin loved his work, and especially loved and cared for his patients. His obsession was dentistry and passing on his knowledge to others. He was very much valued and appreciated by all who came into contact with him here at The Occlusal Rehabilitation Centre. He will be greatly missed and forever remembered.
TMJ "(jaw joint)" symptoms are unbelievably diverse in both nature and severity. Surprisingly, many severe symptoms seemingly have no direct connection to the teeth or jaws.
While one of the most common symptoms are migraine or tension headaches and neck or shoulder aches, occasionally more severe symptoms include vertigo (dizziness), ringing in the ears, lancing pain in one or both ears, hearing difficulties, stuffiness in one or both ears, light sensitivity in the eyes, ulcer-like pains in the stomach, low back pain, and poor posture.

I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone suffering from TMJ. After trying multiple treatments with no benefit and a basic nightguard from my dentist, I decided to take the plunge and have a consult. I went with the stabilization splint plan and have no regrets. I saw a big difference after about 1 month with headaches being about 90% gone and my jaw no longer shifts to one side upon opening and closing.

Dr. Tejani is a great professional at TMD and any other jaw related pain management. I came to ORC in 2019 after experiencing jaw cracking and pain symptoms. He did a full examination and suggested the bite guard appliance to be worn at all times for 90 days then switch to night use only. I entered the therapy in January 2020 and after 3 months of on and off, loving and hating the appliance every other day or so, I am practically pain-free and ready to resume my life without worrying about TMD all the time. (The first few weeks were incredibly tough since you’ll have to learn how to talk, eat

I started going to ORC about 3 years ago for TMJ issues--I had cracking/popping jaw joints, pain from my jaw to my neck and frequent headaches. I had two different appliances from Dr. Tejani which greatly relieved my symptoms from the start, and then I had braces, which also helped. Since I started my treatment at ORC I have been pretty much symptom-free. Prior to this I had sought various different treatments elsewhere without any results. I am very happy with my treatment at ORC and Dr. Tejani and Sherona are always very attentive and professional.

Dr Tejani solved an extremely tricky problem in my case, one with a long history of mysterious symptoms that nobody else could quite diagnose. I've been suffering from head aches, jaw pain and stiffness in my arms.
Dr Tejani has given me most of my function back. The MAGO appliance has helped my jaw relax and relieve most other symptoms.
Dr Tejani is committed, knowledgeable and actually cares about his patients.
Special thanks to Sherona Khan too, for making me feel comfortable during appointments and doing incredible work with scheduling.
