Occlusal Adjustment

At Decatur Dental Care in Decatur, Illinois, our occlusal adjustment service offers a solution for patients experiencing symptoms like sore jaws or a lopsided feeling when biting. This procedure corrects bite misalignments caused by factors such as loose, shifting, crowded, or missing teeth, ensuring an evenly distributed bite and proper tooth alignment. Using precise techniques and advanced technology, our skilled dentists make adjustments with minimal discomfort, often utilizing dental drills and removal mouthpieces to protect tooth surfaces and relax jaw muscles. Candidates for occlusal adjustment include those with loose or shifting teeth, teeth grinders, or individuals experiencing tooth sensitivity. By employing computer scans to identify specific areas needing adjustment, we ensure a tailored approach that minimizes tooth wear and achieves optimal bite alignment. If you suspect you may benefit from an occlusal adjustment, schedule an appointment with us for personalized care.
