Jaw pain, clicking, worn teeth, and bites that never feel right, treated by Dr. Kim with advanced restorative and implant training.
When the problem is your bite, not just one tooth.
Occlusion is how your upper and lower teeth meet, and when that bite is off it can cause jaw pain, headaches, clicking, and worn or cracked teeth. At PARCS Dentistry in Las Vegas, Dr. Kim diagnoses and treats bite and jaw problems, from TMJ relief to rebuilding a worn-down bite, with training focused on advanced restorative and implant care.
Signs your bite is the real issue
Jaw pain or clicking, frequent headaches, teeth that look worn flat or keep chipping, sensitivity with no cavity, or a bite that feels like it shifts. These often trace back to how your teeth come together, not to one bad tooth.
TMJ & Occlusion
Jaw pain, bite problems, and full-mouth rehabilitation.
Care led by Dr. Kim
Bite and full-mouth cases reward experience. Dr. Kim has advanced training in restorative and implant dentistry, teaches at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine, and plans these cases so the result looks right and works for the long run. We start with the least invasive option, often a custom night guard and, when it helps, therapeutic Botox to relax overactive jaw muscles. For rebuilds, we draw on dental implants and crowns and bridges.
Questions?
Here's everything you need to know before you reach out.
What is occlusion?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are. We confirm with an exam and a 3D scan.
Can a dentist fix a bad bite?
Yes. Depending on the cause, we use guards, bite adjustment, orthodontics, or restorations to get your bite meeting evenly.
Do I need a specialist for TMJ or full-mouth work?
These cases are handled here by Dr. Kim, who has advanced restorative and implant training, so most patients aren't referred out.
