Her work focuses on restoring natural bite alignment, improving comfort, and protecting teeth from further damage — all while achieving a balanced, confident smile.
At Pellew Dental, every occlusal rehabilitation plan is tailored to the patient’s unique needs. Using detailed diagnostic imaging, digital planning, and modern restorative materials, Dr Pellew delivers precise, long-lasting results that look natural and feel comfortable.
When Occlusal Rehabilitation Is Needed
Bite imbalances can develop gradually and often go unnoticed until symptoms appear. You may benefit from occlusal rehabilitation if you experience:
- Worn, chipped, or flattened teeth
- Jaw pain or clicking (TMJ issues)
- Headaches or facial muscle tension
- Difficulty chewing evenly
- Loose, shifting, or sensitive teeth
- Previous dental work that has altered your bite alignment
Dr Pellew’s approach begins with a comprehensive bite analysis and diagnostic imaging to identify the cause of imbalance and develop a tailored treatment plan.
The Treatment Process
- Comprehensive assessment – a full evaluation of the bite, teeth, and jaw joints using imaging and bite registration.
- Treatment planning – creating a staged plan that may involve selective reshaping, restorations, or full-mouth rehabilitation.
- Restoration and alignment – restoring worn or missing tooth structure with crowns, bridges, or onlays to rebalance the bite.
- Review and refinement – careful follow-up ensures comfort, durability, and precise alignment.
Each step is designed to rebuild natural function and protect against further wear or joint strain.
The Benefits of Occlusal Rehabilitation
- Restores natural chewing comfort and efficiency
- Protects teeth from further wear or fracture
- Reduces jaw tension, clicking, and headaches
- Improves aesthetics and facial symmetry
- Enhances long-term oral health and stability
