There's a better way to treat chronic migraines and headaches
If you suffer from chronic migraines, you know how difficult they are to effectively diagnose and treat. The TruDenta system of diagnosis and treatment was developed to help uncover and resolve the frequently-overlooked causes behind your chronic migraines.
Uncover the hidden causes of your chronic pain
The TruDenta diagnostic process uses the latest technology to closely examines the nerves, muscles, and ligaments that surround the head, neck, and jaw to find any signs of the inflammation and chronic stress that can lead to constant headaches.
Get safe and lasting treatment from the doctors who understand your pain
If examination shows that your headaches are actually being caused by musculoskeletal problems, we can help. All TruDenta doctors have years of experience as dental professionals working with the delicate musculature of the jaw, neck, and head—a perfect background to implement TruDenta's process of progressive rehabilitation and physical therapy for the damaged joints and stressed musculature that cause chronic headaches.

Dr. Michael Bezbatchenko
Dr. Bezbatchenko, known most affectionately as Dr. Bez, has been serving the Central Ohio community since 1977. Well respected, and known for his caring chair side manner, Dr. Bez has been a maverick in exploring and implementing the latest technology in his practice to improve the quality of care for his patients. Dr. Bez is also a leading expert on the causes of sleep apnea and TMJD about the study and treatment of sleep apnea, and in 2012 he founded the Central Ohio TMJD Dental Sleep Therapy Center. At his therapy center he offers state of the art treatments, in some cases actually curing the problem, not just masking the issue at hand.
Continuing his quest for excellence, Dr. Michael Bezbatchenko joined a select group of doctors when he earned the prestigious designation of American Board of Sleep Medicine Diplomate. This status is presented to those few who have completed a thorough vetting process which includes submitting case studies, copious hours of continuing education and an arduous examination.
If you ask Dr. Bezbatchenko’s patients what they love most about him, they will most likely tell you it is that he treats them like family. In fact when Dr. Bez refers to his patients, he often refers to them as part of his extended family. They will also share how Dr. Bez takes the time to explain each treatment before he begins, and always puts their comfort first.
In his free time Dr. Bezbatchenko loves nothing more than spending time with his family. He is also an avid golfer, OSU, and Cleveland Browns fan.
Dr. Bezbatchenko graduated cum laude from The Ohio State University School of Dentistry in 1976. He is a member of the American Dental Association, Ohio Dental Association, Columbus Dental Society, Chicago Dental Society, Academy of General Dentistry, Academy of CAD/CAM Dentistry and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.

The TruDenta Process
Bite Force Analysis
Our proprietary T-Scan technology allows our doctors to precisely assess your mouth and jaw for dental imbalances during opening, closing, and chewing, right down to the amount and direction of the force exerted by each individual tooth.
Range of Motion Analysis
Dental imbalances often cause chronic muscle tension and inflammation, which can in turn limit your head and jaw movement. Our doctors measure and monitor the movement range of your head and jaw to more accurately determine the most effective treatment plan for your symptoms.
Headache History Form
Headaches can occur for many different reasons — in order to find the source of your headaches and determine if the TruDenta treatment process will be effective for you, your TruDenta doctor will speak with you in detail about your past headaches and their specific symptoms.
Muscle Exam
Your TruDenta doctor will locate the latent trigger points in your face and neck that restrict motion and contribute to jaw imbalances — these knots of tense muscle are often missed without a thorough examination.
Head Health Questionaire
Jaw or head trauma can cause a variety of hidden changes in the jaw, neck, and face that may later manifest as stiffness, pain, or headaches. By cataloging any possible sources of damage, your TruDenta doctor can more effectively focus your treatment plan.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound treatment returns circulation to chronically sore and strained muscles by providing gentle heat and increasing blood flow, while the targeted sound waves break up scar tissue and deep adhesions.
Trigger Point Therapy
Manual trigger point therapy decreases and eliminates pain and tension in latent and active trigger points by breaking up muscle knots and increasing blood flow in order to decrease inflammation.
Electrocurrent
Our transcutaneous microcurrent stimulation therapy reduces muscle spasms and their accompanying pain through low-level electrical signals. It also decreases lactic acid build-up and encourages healthy nerve stimulation.
