Dental occlusion
Ask us about our dental occlusion treatments and let us know what your concerns are.
Our experienced team will investigate the root of the problem and provide you with the treatment you need to get rid of your pain and achieve a healthier, more attractive smile.
What is dental occlusion?
Everyone has a different bite depending on their natural tooth alignment and what they are doing. For example, when we are eating, we have a different bite than when we are relaxed or sleeping.
If our teeth and jaws are misaligned, we might experience a variety of problems including difficulty eating, tooth grinding or clenching, frequent headaches or migraines, jaw problems, damaged fillings and dental crowns or cracked and broken teeth.
To eliminate these problems and enjoy a healthier, more attractive smile, ask your dentist about dental occlusion treatment. You may need to wear a bite guard, braces, have tooth extraction or tooth replacement, oral surgery or even start a programme of relaxation and stress-relief.
We will discuss your requirements in detail and ensure that you’re totally comfortable with the treatment plan that we recommend.
Why have your dental occlusion fixed?
Many people also experience dental occlusion problems without realising. They often clench or grind their teeth when they’re concentrating or sleeping and end up suffering from constant headaches, severe jaw pain, migraines and tension in their jaw, neck and shoulders.
When this happens, your teeth could suffer from significant damage, both to your natural tooth structure and any dental restorations including fillings, dental crowns or inlays and overlays.
Speak to our experienced dental team and get the treatment you need to protect your smile. Even if you’re a nervous patient, we will ensure you feel comfortable during every step of treatment and know exactly what is involved.
Benefits of having your dental occlusion fixed
- Eliminate headaches and migraines.
- Protect your natural teeth from future damage.
- Stop grinding or clenching your teeth when you sleep.
- Boost your confidence and self-esteem with a more attractive smile.
Your dental occlusion journey at Tyneside Dental
If we believe that your problems are caused by dental malocclusion, we will discuss your options, define a treatment plan, and explain how much your treatment will cost.
This could include tooth adjustment, replacement of missing teeth with dental bridges or partial dentures, wearing a bite guard, using braces, or oral surgery.
If you are grinding or clenching your teeth, we can also explain how your diet and exercise habits can help and suggest counselling or relaxation therapy if stress related.
Once treatment is complete, our team of experienced dentists will explain how you can take better care of your teeth and maintain the results of the treatment. This could include brushing and flossing twice per day, avoiding certain foods, wearing a mouthguard, and visiting your dentist for regular checkups.
Throughout the process we will keep you informed, ensure you’re well cared for and be there to answer all your questions.
