About
Focused Sleep & TMJ Care
Our Mission
Sleep apnea is more than just a snore, and TMJ/TMD is more than just nagging jaw pain or an occasional headache. Both temporomandibular joint disorder and sleep apnea can negatively affect your well-being in the short term. Not only that, but they can lead to serious health effects in the future if left untreated. If you don’t get help with sleep apnea, for example, it can lead to a heightened risk of heart attack and stroke.
At Plano Sleep & Headache Relief, we’re experts in treating both sleep apnea and TMJ/TMD. With Drs. Shewski and Barnett on your side, you can get the care you need to relieve your symptoms. And not only that, but you’ll get a long-term treatment plan that will ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

What To Expect
The First Visit Experience
After filling out some forms at our office, you’ll sit down and relax with a coffee or another drink from our beverage bar. Then, one of our dental team members will bring you back to an operating room for your initial assessment.
This consists of multiple steps. We’ll take 3D CBCT images of your mouth, evaluate your airway, and check the function of your jaw joints. Dr. Shewski or Dr. Barnett will also conduct a range of motion (ROM) check, identify trigger points, and conduct a dental bite force analysis.
Once your assessment is over, Dr. Shewski or Dr. Barnett will sit down with you and review your findings. If you need sleep apnea treatment and have not yet been diagnosed by another medical professional, your doctor may also send you home with an at-home sleep apnea test kit.
Then, you’ll just stop by our front desk to schedule your first follow-up visit. We offer a wide variety of treatments for TMJ/TMD and obstructive sleep apnea. Your personalized treatment plan will provide the relief you need to eliminate symptoms like jaw stiffness, headaches, pain, daytime drowsiness, and more.
What to Bring
We make things simple at our office. When it’s time for your first visit with Dr. Shewski or Dr. Barnett, all you’ll need is:
Credit or debit card
Dental or medical insurance card
Past dental records, if available
Health history/medication list
