Occlusal Adjustment

Occlusal adjustment is a dental procedure that fine-tunes the way your upper and lower teeth come together when you bite. Over time, teeth can wear unevenly or shift, causing discomfort, difficulty chewing, or jaw pain. The dentist gently reshapes certain areas of your teeth’s biting surfaces to create a more balanced and comfortable bite. This process can improve overall dental function, reduce stress on your jaw joints, and enhance the longevity of your teeth. It is a precise, minimally invasive procedure aimed at achieving optimal occlusion for better oral health.
