Precision Bite Analysis with Advanced Digital Technology

We use Tekscan Digital Bite Analysis to accurately evaluate how your teeth come together when you bite. Unlike traditional articulating paper, Tekscan provides real-time digital measurements of bite force, timing, and tooth contact, allowing our clinicians to diagnose and treat bite-related problems with greater precision.

This advanced technology helps us identify imbalances that may contribute to jaw discomfort, tooth wear, cracked teeth, headaches, or uneven pressure on dental restorations.

Why We Use Tekscan

Your bite plays an important role in your overall oral health. Even small bite discrepancies can place excessive stress on your teeth, muscles, and jaw joints. Tekscan allows us to measure these forces objectively rather than relying solely on visual assessment.

Conditions Tekscan Can Help Evaluate

Tekscan may be beneficial for patients experiencing:

Jaw pain or TMJ discomfort
Headaches associated with bite imbalance
Tooth sensitivity caused by excessive biting forces
Cracked or fractured teeth
Uneven tooth wear
Difficulty finding a comfortable bite
Problems after receiving crowns, fillings, bridges, or implants
Evaluation before and after orthodontic treatment
Assessment of oral appliances and bite splints

What to Expect During Your Appointment

The Tekscan examination is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive. You will gently bite on a thin electronic sensor several times while the system records detailed information about how your teeth contact one another. The results are displayed instantly, allowing your clinician to explain your bite using clear, visual data.

Better Diagnostics. Better Treatment.

By combining clinical expertise with advanced digital technology, Tekscan helps us make more informed treatment decisions and deliver highly personalized care. Whether you’re experiencing jaw discomfort, protecting your teeth from excessive forces, or ensuring the accuracy of a new restoration, Tekscan provides valuable information that supports long-term oral health.
