Dr. Jaya Mangal – Board-Certified Specialist in TMJ, Orofacial Pain & Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Jaya Mangal has always harbored a strong desire to assist people, and this drive, coupled with her exceptional education, has consistently served as guiding principles in her life. After completing her undergraduate degree, Dr. Mangal pursued dental school, where she graduated at the top of her class with a dental degree from Delhi, India. Following graduation, she practiced Cosmetic dentistry privately for five years before relocating to the United States. Dr. Mangal was admitted to the esteemed TMJ and Orofacial Pain program at Rutgers University, where she excelled both academically and clinically. She was recognized for her achievements with the chief resident position in her program and subsequently obtained a Master of Science degree.

While serving as chief resident, Dr. Mangal’s master’s thesis made significant advancements in the previously unexplored realm of central nervous system sensitivity and its correlation with acute postoperative pain. This research marked a groundbreaking approach to patient care in this area. Additionally, Dr. Mangal authored a case study on secondary Trigeminal Neuralgia, which was diagnosed in an orofacial pain context as an epidermoid tumor. She has also co-authored numerous research articles on topics such as the use of topical medications for TMJ and head and neck disorders. Furthermore, her case study on bilateral giant cell arteritis was presented on an international platform, highlighting the potential pitfalls in diagnosing GCA and presenting a new gold standard for accurately diagnosing such cases using high-resolution ultrasound.

Following the completion of her Master’s degree and board certification, Dr. Mangal became one of the few hundred dentists in the United States with specialized training in TMJ and Orofacial Pain, along with Dental Sleep Medicine. Her commitment to continuous learning and pursuit of excellence has equipped her with exceptional skills, training, and experience in Cosmetic Dentistry, Botox, Implants, and the treatment of TMJ and Orofacial pain disorders.

Dr. Mangal provides care with a warm and inviting demeanor. She prefers a personalized and conservative approach to treatment, which has endeared her to many patients who often refer their friends and family to her.
