Masters of Dentistry (LTU), Grad Dip Dental Sleep Med (UWA), Fellowship DSM (ASA), Certificate of Acupuncture (AMAC)

Dr Damian Teo is a holistic dentist who has been exclusively treating patients for TMD, Bruxism and Sleep disorders for over 10 years. Damian is passionate about looking “beyond the mouth” and treating the body as a whole. He believes dentists play an important role in being able to recognise airway/breathing issues, sleeping problems, and craniofacial pain (such as headaches, neck pain, and TMD). Damian first gained deeper knowledge and understanding of TMD, craniofacial pain, sleep medicine, and airways by completing the TMD & Sleep mini residency program by Dr. Steven Olmos in 2013. This led to Damian working in Darwin’s first official TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre in 2014, where he then focused his practice to treating patients for snoring, sleep apnea, bruxism and TMD. He pursued further education in the field of sleep medicine and achieved his Post Graduate Diploma in Dental Sleep Medicine with the University of Western Australia in 2016, and his Fellowship in Dental Sleep Medicine in 2023. Over the years, Damian completed various mini-residency programs covering TMD, craniofacial pain, sleep medicine, orofacial myology and orthodontics with Dr Derek Mahony, Dr Jeffrey Okeson, Dr Tony Ancell and Dr Jamison Spencer. Knowing the value in multidisciplinary treatment, Damian has also obtained a Certificate in Acupuncture with the Australian Medical Acupuncture College (AMAC). He has also completed courses in biochemistry, nutrition, exercise biomechanics, neuro kinetic therapy, Buteyko breathing, mental health and well-being. He also works closely with many different health practitioners ranging from physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists, speech pathologists, sleep respiratory physicians, ENTs, oral surgeons and even personal trainers. Damian’s passion for TMD and Sleep medicine led to the founding of his own specialised TMD and Sleep clinics: Melbourne Dental Sleep Clinic, consulting with TMJ physiotherapists in the Melbourne TMJ & Facial Pain Centre and Sleep Respiratory Physicians in Lung and Sleep Victoria. Damian regularly lectures, and holds an annual TMD & Sleep Mini Residency in Australia, teaching practitioners from around the world, how to diagnose and manage TMD, OSA and bruxism. Damian is passionate in spreading the knowledge that dentists can help one’s health and quality of life “beyond the mouth.”
