Rebuilding Your Bite with Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
Over time, teeth can wear down, shift, or be lost—causing changes in your bite and the way your teeth fit together. This can lead to difficulty chewing, jaw discomfort, and even changes in the way your face looks. One of the most important steps in rebuilding a smile is restoring what dentists call your “vertical dimension of occlusion”—in simple terms, the natural height between your upper and lower jaws when your teeth come together.

How We Restore Your Bite
1. Careful Planning: We start with a complete exam, photos, and digital scans to understand your current bite and overall oral health.
2. Testing Comfort: Temporary restorations or a special bite appliance are used to “test drive” your new bite position. This way, your jaw muscles and joints have time to adjust, and you can feel comfortable before anything permanent is done.
3. Final Restorations: Once you’re happy and comfortable, we rebuild your teeth with strong, natural-looking crowns, bridges, or implants. Each tooth is carefully shaped to work in harmony with your new bite.

Benefits of Rebuilding Your Bite
• Better chewing and speaking – enjoy your favorite foods again.
• Improved comfort – reduced strain on your jaw joints and muscles.
• Younger, healthier look – restoring bite height can lift facial features and remove that “collapsed” look.
• Stronger teeth – evenly distributing pressure helps protect teeth from further wear or breakage.
