A refined bite is a functional necessity, the silent foundation of a healthy, stunning smile. When your bite is off, your entire face feels the strain. But when aligned, everything else falls into place.
At Dr. Arthur Glosman’s world-renowned Beverly Hills dental studio, bite reconstruction is a precision-driven, artfully customized process that revives oral health, restores facial balance, and elevates your confidence. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore each service in the procedure and how we can help you achieve your smile goals.
What Is Bite Reconstruction?
Bite reconstruction, also known as full-mouth or occlusal rehabilitation, is the comprehensive rebuilding and restoration of worn, misaligned, or damaged teeth. The goal is to achieve ideal bite alignment (occlusion) and long-term dental function.
This process addresses issues such as:
- Uneven wear from teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Bite collapse from missing or short teeth
- TMJ-related tension and jaw pain
- Chronic headaches, neck pain, or facial strain
- Aging-related changes in facial structure
- Poorly executed dental work from the past
By correcting the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), essentially the height between your upper and lower jaws, Dr. Glosman can reverse years of collapse, improve bite function, and dramatically enhance your facial profile.
How Do I Know If I Need Bite Reconstruction?
You may not see bite problems, but chances are, you feel them. Common signs include:
- Flattened, chipped, or shortened teeth
- Jaw clicking or pain
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Constant dental fractures or failed restorations
- Changes in facial symmetry or sagging
- Chronic muscle tension in the jaw, head, or neck
These symptoms are often the result of malocclusion, a misalignment in how your teeth meet, which can create both cosmetic and functional issues over time.
The Glosman Method
Your bite reconstruction begins with a full diagnostic workup, including:
- Digital scans
- Photographic analysis
- Muscle/joint assessments
The process typically involves a curated combination of:
- Porcelain Veneers or Crowns: To restore proper tooth height and visual harmony.
- Glosman DentaLift™: A proprietary, non-surgical technique to lift and support facial contours by realigning the bite.
- Occlusal Equilibration: Meticulous adjustment of tooth surfaces for smooth, even contact.
- Dental Implants or Bridges: To replace missing teeth and rebuild structural balance.
- Invisalign®: To reposition teeth for improved bite mechanics and aesthetic alignment.
- TMJ Therapy: When needed, to address muscular or joint dysfunction.
Every procedure is done with your facial structure, speech patterns, muscle function, and aesthetic goals in mind.
Depending on complexity, treatment may span two to three visits, with sedation dentistry available for maximum comfort. Many patients complete their reconstruction within three weeks, an unheard-of timeline made possible by Dr. Glosman’s in-house technology and elite lab partners.
