Beyond The Basics

Fifth, it's about . . .

Your Bite: A Proper Fit (Getting the teeth, jaw muscles, and jaw joint to work together in Good Dental Function).

A well-aligned bite, relaxed jaw muscles and a comfortable jaw joint are essential for your teeth to function at their best, and they are the keys to the long-term preservation of your dental health, function and appearance. That's why we're so careful to examine how your teeth fit together during chewing, speaking, working, resting, and sleeping. One of the things we look for are signs of abnormal or excessive clenching and grinding that could cause breakdown of your teeth and oral structures. We also can replace missing teeth that are needed for Good Dental Function. These missing teeth may have been lost to gum problems, decay problems, developmental problems or in accidents. We also make recommendations to slow down the wear on your teeth that naturally occurs over a lifetime of use.

In any case, if there are problems or concerns, we can recommend appropriate corrective treatment.

Our bite services include:

  • Occlusal (Bite) Adjustments
  • TMJ (TMD) Diagnosis and Treatment
  • Night Guards

  • Dental Implant Restorations –individual teeth, groups of teeth or all teeth, where appropriate

  • Full Restoration of the teeth without Dentures where appropriate.
