FUNCTIONAL DENTISTRY

Functional Dentistry is beautiful. When aesthetics and function align, your entire body feels better and can support long-term health.

When your smile looks great, feels great, and works perfectly, you’re naturally inclined to have a more youthful appearance.

  • Alleviate pain, eliminate unnecessary wear & tear

  • Protect yourself against future damage

  • Become your most confident self

Functional Dentistry

Pain, discomfort, and lack of confidence can affect your whole life. But in spite of your best efforts, you’re still dealing with the same pain, discomfort, or lack of confidence that you’ve been hoping to alleviate with previous dental work. You know something’s just not right, but you can’t find answers until now. Functional dentistry addresses the root causes rather than simply treating symptoms.

Traditional Dentistry (expensive & ongoing) VS Functional Dentistry (cost effective & lasting)

For a long-term fix, you need to look at the whole picture…

If You Suffer From:

It’s very common for these symptoms to get diagnosed as a different condition when it is actually caused by an unstable biteThe bite is like the foundation that a building sits upon. Without a stable oral foundation, you can experience chipped or damaged teeth, receding gums, and even headaches and neck and shoulder pain.

If you only apply a cosmetic fix to these problems without looking at the entire chewing system, they will continue to occur! Left untreated, it can ruin your teeth, disrupt your sleep, impact your health and make you look older.

Functional Dentistry The Whole Picture

Our goal is to restore harmony to the joints, teeth, and muscles, which can help alleviate pain, eliminate unnecessary wear and tear, and other issues that can arise from an unstable bite. We check everything from how your teeth come together (occlusion) to the presence of wear and signs of teeth grinding to symptoms of headaches as well as TMJ.

We use a functional dentistry approach which focuses on the chewing system as a “whole” and how that relates to the overall health of your body. Part of this approach uses a unique restorative technique called Biorejuvenation, which incorporates esthetic and functional long-term practices in order to give you a stable, natural, and pain-free smile.

Our Process: Diagnose – Treat – Restore (Your Smile)

  • Diagnose: the source of the problem.
  • Treat: treatment for the problem.
  • Restore: a plan to restore your smile.

The Beauty of Function

The Beauty of Function

This patient had an unstable bite which resulted in cracked, chipped, broken and worn down teeth. She came to us because she wanted to feel confident about her smile. We used Biorejuvenation dentistry to create a natural looking smile for her, one that brought harmony back to her face and lips without looking fake or unnatural. Because of this, she is smiling again as you can see and hear her excitement in the video.

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Bernie and his team! Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the kindness I received throughout my visit. Going to the dentist can sometimes feel stressful, so being around people who help you feel comfortable makes a big difference. Dr. Bernie was kind, patient, and easy to talk to. His calm and reassuring manner helped make the appointment a positive experience. When choosing a dentist, feeling comfortable with the person caring for you is so important, and I appreciated being treated with warmth and respect. The staff deserves recognition as well! Their friendly attitude helped make the visit pleasant. There is something special about an office where you feel welcome and where the little things, like a kind greeting and a patient approach, are part of the experience. I also appreciated receiving a message after my appointment—it was a nice personal touch. Thank you, Dr. Bernie and your entire team, for making my visit such a good one. I appreciate the care and attention you give your patients. I would happily recommend this office to friends, family, and anyone looking for a dental team that makes them feel comfortable and cared for!

I have had the most amazing experience with Dr. Bernie! He fixed my smile after multiple dentists were unable to after years of back and forth. I could not recommend him more for veneers and/or crowns. I had a pretty difficult situation to correct with a root canal that was discoloring one of my front teeth, and you’d never know when looking at my teeth now. Thank you so much to Dr. Bernie and his whole staff who was incredibly welcoming and caring throughout the entire process. I’ve moved all my dental needs to this office moving forward.
