If you wake up in the morning with a sore jaw or teeth or feel like when you bite down that your jaw is lopsided, then you need to make an appointment with The Oyster Bay Family Dentists. Drs. Robert G. West and Denise VeyVoda are highly skilled dental professionals. If you experience these symptoms, you most likely need to get an occlusal adjustment.
An occlusal adjustment fixes the misalignment of the bite. This can be caused by loose, shifting, crowded, or missing teeth. The result is an uneven pressure distribution throughout the entire mouth. An occlusal adjustment will rebalance your jaw, allowing your teeth to meet evenly again. The adjustment itself causes minimal pain and a small amount of discomfort. A dental drill is used with a fine filing stone. Removal mouthpieces are also used. These protect the surfaces of the mouth and help relax the jaw.
Patients with loose and shifting teeth are ideal candidates for an occlusal adjustment. Patients who grind or clench their teeth are also eligible. In certain cases, teeth sensitivity can be corrected this way as well.
Drs. West or VeyVoda will use a computer scan to take hundreds of images of your mouth. Once uploaded into the computer program, anomalies within your mouth and bite will be spotted. This assures total relief from your symptoms, along with addressing all areas of concern.
