Optimal Bites
Dr. Beshar incorporates proper function into all of his restorations. This means assessing the bite and planning the treatment for minimal wear and maximal comfort.
Functional Dentistry is the science of dentistry that balances and supports maximum function of the chewing system. This system includes the TM joint (jaw joint), the muscles and the teeth. While some patients have acceptable function, some bites cause increased wear because they are constricted, dysfunction or parafunction. The goal is to diagnose and treat these bite problems early. Dr. Beshar's patients benefit by feeling more comfortable, keeping their teeth for their lifetime, and treating the bite before excess wear occurs.
