About Gunnerson Dental and TMJ & Sleep Therapy of Utah

In 1996 Dr. K. Cheyn Gunnerson took over a local practice in Payson, Utah. In 2022, Dr. Gunnerson chose to begin limiting his practice to treating patients with craniofacial pain, TMD and sleep disorders due to the overwhelming need within the community. During his years in general dentistry, Dr. Gunnerson learned to identify the origin of patients’ pain and sleep problems and it became increasingly clear that he could drastically impact their lives now and, in the future, and the TMJ and Sleep Therapy Center of Utah was born!
