BITE EVALUATION AND MUSCLE/JOINT FUNCTION
When Dr. Pat asked to evaluate my bite, I had no idea that could be done. Until Dr. Pat easily and comfortably adjusted my bite, I never knew how "off" it was! This was a great option for me, because it avoided extensive crown work or even braces. I appreciated this conservative option, and now my mouth feels comfortable and stable. 
How your teeth fit together and function is a vital part of the stability and comfort of your mouth, as well as your jaw joints and muscles. After completing specialized, post-doctoral training in bite management with leading dental expert, Dr. Frank Spear, Dr. Pat delivers expertise in this area.
Bite Evaluation and TMJ Treatment
- Stabilizes a bite that "doesn't fit" or is inconsistent
- Corrects bite problems that lead to fractured, worn teeth or cause mobility in teeth
- Relieves sore jaw muscles and/or facial pain
- Use of mouth guard can help reduce symptoms
If you have joint pain, achy jaws, or problems with your bite, call Dr. Pat for an appointment. You will be reassured by the scope of knowledge and level of care you receive.
