Dr. Grin and his staff are very nice and professional. They helped me with my TMJ issues and also with my sleep apnea. I could not use my CPAP machine because it was so uncomfortable for me. I love my new custom mouth piece for sleep apnea that Dr. Grin had made for me! It is so much better than CPAP and I am finally able to get a good night's sleep! I highly recommend Dr. Grin and his staff!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Grin and his practice. It is rare to encounter such compassionate care. Dr. Grin listened carefully, conducted thorough tests, and provided successful treatment for an issue I had struggled with for years — and that other experts had told me could not be fixed. All staff members are not only very efficient and highly competent, but also extremely kind. I truly appreciate the wonderful care I received, the result of which is that I no longer have to live with discomfort on a daily basis. My visits never felt rushed. Everything is A+++. I highly recommend this practice. An unsurpassed experience.

Dr Grin and his entire staff are professional and so genuine in their caring service. Smiles, greetings and the perfect amount of detailed information was followed by state of the art scanning and mold impressioning to assist in alleviating my TMJ condition. Long term care was addressed and prescribed treatment was designed especially for me. I recommend Dr Grim to all needing expertise at solving persistent jaw/facial discomfort.

Dr. Grin and staff were a breath of fresh air. They understood Trigeminal neuralgia. The pain from this condition would flare mostly after visits to the dentist. I could not get relief from this condition for many years and eventually stopped going to the dentist. This eventually lead to necessary intense dental work. I was very hopeful when first visiting Dr. Grin's office and after a few tests, a plan was developed. I spent the entire summer dealing with these dental issues and experienced NO pain. I am very thankful for Dr Grin and his staff. They make you feel welcome and their responsiveness and follow through is immediate. Thank you Dr Grin for fixing a condition I thought for years could not be fixed.

I had a great experience going to Dr. Grin for my newly diagnosed TMJ. I visited his office after a visit to the ER as I didn't know what the pain was and It was unbearable. When I went to see him, my pain was debilitating and awful. Dr. Grin and his staff were very kind, did a comprehensive exam on me, and prescribed a treatment for me to start feeling better. Within days my pain started to go away. The office staff is very friendly and responsive which is unusual these days. I highly recommend Dr. Grin if you suspect you're suffering from TMJ. No need to wait and suffer with pain.

Dr. Paul Grin is an amazing doctor! We were referred to him by my son’s dentist because he heard clicking coming from my son’s jaw and then one day his jaw locked up. Dr. Grin found out that my son has arthritis in his jaw. My son was extremely anxious after the diagnosis, however Dr. Grin put all of our anxieties to rest. He explained everything so thoroughly and addressed all of our questions and concerns. We’ve never felt rushed during any of my son’s appointments and the care and treatment that my son has received has significantly improved his condition. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Grin and his wonderful and friendly staff. Thank you so much!

Dr. Grin was warm and knowledgeable. He took a complete written and oral history. He listened attentively to my concerns and answered all of my questions. His physical exam was thorough. I had complete confidence in his expertise. I would definitely return if I have any other treatment needs. He is caring and approachable.

Dr Grin's PRP procedure cured my TMJ and got me out of pain. I have had PRP injections several times before in my knees and shoulder. They had no real noticeable effect.
The PRP procedure at Dr Grin's office was different. My bite returned to normal in the following few days. And my pain was gone. I had a subsequent CT scan a year after the procedure, and there was noticeable regrowth of the tissue. I was honestly surprised and didn't expect much from the procedure. More people should know about this treatment option, as it absolutely worked for me.
Dr Grin and his entire staff have always been extremely professional and courteous. My entire experience with them has been nothing but positive.

This office was a game changer.
I was being bounced around from doctor to doctor and was having difficulty getting an appropriate diagnosis, for over a year, before I met Dr. Paul Grin.
His intake process was very thorough and my concerns were taken seriously.
The staff and medical team treated me with respect and the overall level of care has been astounding. I live an hour away and am more than happy to make the trip. I highly recommend this doctor.

I actually saw Eric Grin DDS, the son of Paul Grin and part of the practice. I was very impressed with his knowledge of TMJ issues and the very thorough examination and interview regarding my pain and my overall health. He listened to me and took everything into account. He recommended a CT scan which they were able to do right in the office. They warned me that my medical insurance might not pay for it, but it turns out insurance covered half of it. The result was that I actually have arthritis in my jaw joint, something difficult to diagnose without a scan. He gave me medication to reduce the inflammation of the arthritis and muscle relaxer for the tense jaw. It worked really well to almost eliminate the pain. I also paid out of pocket (submitted to insurance, so maybe they will cover part??) for expensive oral appliances to adjust the position of my bite to reduce pressure on my arthritic joint. Hopefully that will prevent the pain from coming back. Arthritis is not curable but at least now I can eat, and I will see how the long term solution (mouth guards) works to minimize pain going forward. Very pleased with the depth of knowledge and caring approach of Eric Grin. The staff is also outstanding!! Polite, friendly and efficient. Makes the whole experience actually pleasant!

Doctor Paul Grin is the best doctor i have ever had. He is very good in his area of work. it has helped me a lot. In times of emergency, he always responds to me and makes a space for me in his diary to assist me. In addition to having a quality work team, its facilities are always impeccable. something very important is that if you do not speak English the Doctor has a work team that is bilingual.
I always been grateful to Doctor Paul Grin.

I came to Dr. Grin with severe jaw pain and he diagnosed sleep apnea and has worked with me until I am now pain free and have undisturbed sleep. He and his staff use cutting edge technologies and old fashioned hospitality. They are always professional and I feel cared for and remembered from one visit until the next.

I've had a TMJ problem for 40+ years. Several months ago I had a flareup of symptoms, including morning headaches, tension in my jaw, and clicking/knocking sounds when opening and closing my mouth.
I was referred to Dr. Paul Grin, an orofacial dentist specializing in pain management and TMJ disorders. On my first visit, Dr. Grin took my medical and dental history, examined the dental work in my mouth, and took precise measurements of my bite before making the mold. That same day I had imaging of the TMJs in the comfort of his office to rule out arthritis, etc.
Based on Dr. Grin's clinical findings and extensive experience treating TMJ patients, I had a custom bite plate made that is worn on the lower teeth during sleep to prevent clenching of the mouth and grinding of teeth that exacerbate TMJ symptoms. I've been wearing this appliance for several months, and last week had a followup visit with Dr. Grin to report my progress. I was happy to report that I no longer have morning headaches and the clicking/knocking sounds in my jaw are almost gone! I am very pleased with these results.
In short, Dr. Paul Grin in Torrance is a thorough, kind, patient and knowledgeable practitioner with many years of experience treating TMJ disorders, etc. He took time during visits to answer my questions and concerns. In addition, Dr. Grin's support staff is superb -- caring, very helpful, friendly and efficient.
I highly recommend Dr. Paul Grin and am pleased to give him a "five star" rating.

I have had only positive interactions with Dr. Grin and his office staff. My first interaction with the office was on the phone with Blanca. She explained their process to initially verify my insurance before my appointment was scheduled. She promptly called me back within a few hours to confirm my consultation visit would be covered. From the start, I was impressed with her efficiency and warm demeanor. Dr. Grin's demeanor is calm, patient & caring. He is thorough in explaining his diagnosis and treatment plan. I now have a diagnosis supported by CT scans and a treatment plan including custom-made oral appliances. I have an understanding of what causes my pain flare ups and now experience only minimal discomfort. I am very impressed by how the office is managed from scheduling my first and subsequent appointments to the thorough and detailed explanation of my treatment plan, medication schedule and cost of services. All of the office staff that I have encountered (Blanca, Elena, Ruth) are consistently professional, yet warm and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Grin and his office staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Grin for several years now. He takes the time to really get to know his patients and his staff are friendly and professional. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 4 years ago. Dr. Grin offered me options that other doctors would not even consider. He had a dental device custom made for me and gave me advice on losing weight. The device and the weight loss have enabled me to manage my sleep apnea. I highly recommend Dr. Grin.

I was so grateful to find Dr. Grin. I was trying multiple therapies for my TMJ disorder and didn’t know what was worth the time and money and what was not. Dr. Grin was able to explain the evidence or lack of evidence behind the different modalities. He has a great way of explaining things and has a calm demeanor that is comforting. I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family.

Dr. Grinn and his staff are outstanding! They were exceptionally kind and accommodating. I needed a new dental appliance for sleep apnea at very short notice. I was able to get an appointment right away and they were immediately able to do all the measurements and impressions in their own office. I had a state of the art appliance within 2 weeks. I have never slept better - it is absolutely incredible! I am very grateful to Dr. Grinn, Ruth, Blanca and the entire staff for their help and caring! Also want to mention Karmen who was incredibly helpful with the insurance paperwork and follow up. Thank You!!

I'll admit, it took me over a year to find Dr. Grin. I went through 4 other providers, mostly dentists, with no progress. Upon finally learning I needed to use my Medical insurance and not Dental I was able to get a referral and make an appointment. Small and warm offce in Torrence so I felt like a person and not a number. Front office ladies and his assistant very helpful and courteous. I have been going to Dr. Grin for over a year now and he has always been very attentive to my needs and concerns. Sadly, at my last check up I informed him I was moving out of the area. But he told me my progress was on schedule and gave me name of another colleague in my new area in order to continue treatment. I am very sad to have only been able to see him for a year (it took a year to find him) but I now have a better understanding on how to continue my treatment for TMJ issues going forward. So a big thank you to him and his staff. I HIGHLY recommend his office if you are having same issues.

3/21/2023 I can not exaggerate my appreciation of the expert TMJ care I experience from Dr. Paul Grin and his corresponding expert staff. Dr. Grin is top of the line for anything TMJ. I remain forever in his debt. Dr. Grin's impressive scholastic background, experience, meticulous attention to detail, keen eye, kindness, and gift of genuine concern for each patient is a rare find. He faithfully adheres to his own high professional standard: "... a mission, a vision, and values that set up extraordinary goals with the main objective to improve patients' quality of life by delivering outstanding patient care one patient at a time." This excellence of practice is all inclusive; Dr. Grin's office staff mirrors his goals. Ruth, Carmen and Blanca, individually and collectively, are as skilled as they are pleasant. They make you happy you walked in the door. Good people know good people; it is obvious the staff was carefully selected by Dr. Paul Grin's high qualifications of capability and human compassion. It's an all-round good place to be. I myself have been enormously helped and am deeply grateful. Mary R.

Dr. Paul Grin has changed my life!
I have been grinding my teeth since I have been about 5 years old. At some point I also picked up clinching during the daytime. I’ve suffered from migraines, neck, shoulder and excruciating jaw pain.
After my initial appointment he recommended day and night oral appliance’s along with muscle relaxers. Since receiving my appliance, I have not awaken to pain in my jaw. Dr. Grin also recommended a newer migraine medicine that works better than my previous medication.
My life is so much better! Before seeing Dr. Grin I couldn’t even eat a salad without being in pain. I’m so thankful to him and his staff.
Thanks again Dr. Grin

Dr Grin took a personal action to improve my mothers health/ pain. She is soon to be 97, and was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. The pain was excruciating. Dr Grin was able to prescribe the right medication and manage the dosage to completely end the pain. The staff was super sweet, and helpful on all of our visits. I would highly recommend Dr Grin. Definitely tops in his field"

I was suffering from intense pain following a bout with shingles affecting my facial nerves. My primary MD recommended Dr. Paul Grin. I visited Dr. Grin and he did a very careful evaluation. He recommended medication that resolved my pain. I should also say that it is a refreshing delight to work with Dr. Grin's staff. They actually answer the phone. Are always friendly and helpful. And I'm always seen on time for my appointments. Strongly recommend Dr. Grin and commend his staff.
