Occlusal Rehabilitation: Restore Your Bite & Natural Chewing Ability

Occlusal Rehabilitation

Do you experience jaw pain, uneven bite, difficulty chewing, or worn-down teeth? These issues could be caused by malocclusion (bite misalignment), bruxism (teeth grinding), or past dental work that no longer fits properly. Occlusal rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment designed to restore proper bite function, balance, and comfort. At Pristine Smiles Dental Care, we use advanced techniques to correct bite issues, improve chewing efficiency, and protect your teeth from further damage.

What Is Occlusal Rehabilitation?

  •  A full-mouth approach to restoring proper bite function and balance.
  •  Addresses worn, damaged, or misaligned teeth that affect chewing and jaw                   comfort.
  •  Combines restorative, orthodontic, and prosthetic treatments to achieve                        optimal occlusion (bite).

Who Needs Occlusal Rehabilitation?

Patients with a collapsed or uneven bite due to tooth
wear

People who grind their teeth (bruxism) causing fractures or sensitivity

Individuals with chronic jaw pain, headaches, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.

How Occlusal Rehabilitation Works

step 1

Diagnosis and Consultation

1
We start with a detailed examination and digital X-rays to assess the health of your teeth and gums. Based on your needs, we’ll discuss whether a crown or bridge is the best option.
step 2

Tooth Preparation

2
For crowns and traditional bridges, the abutment teeth are reshaped to create space for the crown. For implant-supported bridges, dental implants may need to be placed.
step 3

Impressions and Customization

3
We take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fit crown or bridge that matches your bite and smile.
step 4

Temporary Crown/Bridge

4
A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent restoration is being crafted.
step 5

Placement of Permanent Crown/Bridge

5
Once the permanent crown or bridge is ready, it is bonded to your tooth or implant using a strong dental adhesive. We check for proper fit, alignment, and comfort before finalizing the placement.

Post-Treatment Care Tips

  •  Follow a soft diet initially as your bite adjusts.
  •  Use a custom night guard if you grind your teeth.
  •  Maintain regular check-ups to monitor bite stability.
