Bring Your Bite Back Into Balance
Does your bite feel “off” when you chew or close your mouth? An uneven bite can lead to discomfort, worn teeth, and jaw tension over time. At Perio Implant Health Professionals, Dr. Rodriguez provides expert bite adjustment in Downtown Los Angeles, CA, to restore balance and comfort to your smile.

Bite adjustment, also called occlusal adjustment, is a precise procedure that reshapes the chewing surfaces of your teeth to create proper alignment when your jaws come together. Dr. Rodriguez carefully modifies specific areas where teeth meet unevenly, eliminating high spots and pressure points that cause discomfort or damage.

You may benefit from bite adjustment if you experience jaw pain, frequent headaches, teeth grinding, or notice uneven tooth wear.
Here is what to expect, one step at a time.

We capture detailed images of your bite pattern. This information guides a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Using specialized instruments, Dr. Rodriguez carefully smooths high spots on your enamel. The process is conservative and typically requires no anesthesia.
We recheck your bite to confirm balanced contact across all teeth. Your adjusted surfaces are polished smooth for lasting comfort.
An unbalanced bite places excess strain on your jaw joints and muscles. Correcting your occlusion can significantly reduce TMJ discomfort and chronic headaches.
Uneven contact causes certain teeth to bear more force than they should. Bite adjustment distributes pressure evenly, preventing premature wear and fractures.
When your teeth align properly, eating becomes more comfortable and efficient. You’ll notice meals feel easier and more natural.
Restorations like crowns and implants last longer when bite forces are balanced. Proper occlusion protects your investment in dental care.
