FUNCTIONAL THERAPY

Restoring Comfort, Balance, and Healthy Function

A healthy smile is about more than beautiful teeth. It is about comfort, balance, and proper function. When your bite is not properly aligned or excessive clenching and grinding place unnecessary stress on your teeth and jaw, it can lead to headaches, jaw discomfort, tooth wear, muscle tension, and damaged restorations.

At Longoria Dentistry, Dr. Longoria takes a comprehensive approach by carefully evaluating your bite, jaw joints, facial muscles, and overall oral function. Through personalized treatment planning, we help restore harmony to your bite while protecting the long-term health of your smile.

Our conservative, non-surgical therapies are designed to relieve discomfort, preserve your natural teeth, and improve your quality of life.

Comprehensive Functional Therapy Includes

Custom Night Guards for Bruxism

 

Excessive clenching and grinding can gradually wear down your teeth, damage restorations, and contribute to jaw pain and headaches. Our custom-designed night guards are precisely fabricated to comfortably protect your teeth while reducing stress on your jaw joints and facial muscles.

TMJ Evaluation & Bite Therapy

Jaw discomfort, clicking, limited opening, and facial muscle fatigue are often related to an imbalanced bite or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Dr. Longoria performs a thorough evaluation to identify the source of your symptoms and develops a personalized treatment plan focused on restoring comfort and healthy function.

Restorative Treatment to Re-establish Proper Function

When teeth have been worn, fractured, or damaged by years of clenching or an uneven bite, restorative dentistry can rebuild your smile while improving the way your teeth function together.

By combining precision restorative care with careful bite analysis, we create long-lasting restorations that are both beautiful and functional.

Our Philosophy

At Longoria Dentistry, we believe exceptional dentistry is about creating a smile that is as comfortable as it is beautiful. By restoring balance to your bite and protecting your teeth from unnecessary wear, we help preserve the health, function, and longevity of your smile for years to come.
