Suzan Sabagh, DDS · Beverly Hills Orofacial Pain
Dr. Suzan Sabagh is an attending dentist who uses her broad experience and training to help patients suffering from complex orofacial pain conditions. Her background spans two demanding fields: prosthodontics, which covers implants, jaw surgery, and complex restorative cases, and orofacial pain, the specialty devoted to the nerves, muscles, and joints behind facial and jaw discomfort. For patients who have been told their pain has no clear source, that combination is often what finally produces a diagnosis.
