Occlusion Dentistry

Occlusion Based Dentistry focuses on the contact between the maxillary and mandibular teeth (the upper and lower teeth) when biting, chewing or at rest.

By determining how the jaw joint, muscles, lower teeth and upper teeth function with one another, we will be able to gain insight on how to diagnose, treat and improve your oral health. Problems with the way the teeth move together can be caused by a trauma, misalignment of the teeth, or excess muscle tension and can cause a variety of troubles, including worn teeth, broken teeth, headaches, earaches, clicking or popping of the jaw, and pain in the jaw muscles. We can help you determine the best treatment to meet your needs.
