Overview
Sometimes, your mouth can inherently make problems for itself: a bad bite can be bad news. Luckily, here at the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry we can accurately analyze your bite and diagnose problems with our revolutionary T-Scan Occlusal Analysis System. Our Founding and Accredited Member of the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry), Dr. Guy Lewis and his team can measure tooth stability, and how much force each tooth can take with the T-Scan. We will study how your teeth, jaw, and muscles work together for this in-depth analysis. You can also expect to have diagnostic digital X-rays, a bite study, and a physical examination of your jaw and mouth at your bite analysis appointment.
Patients who seek a bite analysis may have the following symptoms:
-
Painful, labored chewing
-
Bad dental health (broken teeth, uneven bite, and more)
-
Bruxism
-
Headaches and earaches
-
A sore jaw or tight muscles in the jaw line
-
Loose teeth and/or receding gums
-
Clicking or popping in the jaw while chewing, talking, or yawning
If you are experiencing some of these symptoms or have been referred to our practice by another doctor for a bite analysis, please contact our office for a consultation. We can help you diagnose the problem and offer solutions to get you on the road to better health.
Treatment
In one of our treatment rooms, we will provide you with the bite analysis equipment. You will simply bite down on the sensor. Your bite will be instantly rendered and the data will configured on screen. With this, your dentist will have a digital analysis of your bite than conventional testing methods. You also gain the ability to easily visualize the mechanics of your bite without detailed dental knowledge.

Dr. Guy Lewis and his entire team at Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry are very professional, responsive, and caring people. From start to finish of a full-mouth restoration, I was impressed with how Dr. Lewis listened to the vision I had for the tooth shape and shade that I wanted. Dr. Lewis, Christine, Rachel, Ana, and the entire team made it happen; my teeth turned out beautifully! The office was managed very smoothly with regard to communication among the staff; very impressive. Cristine was always responsive via text if I had any questions, as I was a fly-in patient from out of state. They checked on me, via text, after the dental work when I returned to the hotel, and I am grateful for the for the genuine care they showed to me. The entire team is amazing and I am so happy to smile with my bright and beaming new teeth!
Everything was as always-- well done!
The services are the best dentistry I’ve ever known! The staff is all amazingly knowledgeable and kind. And it’s just a very pleasant experience!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a "Bad Bite?"
A bad bite happens when a bite is unbalanced, and certain teeth within the mouth touch sooner than others or with more force. Broken, chipped, cracked, uneven, or loose teeth can aid in the problem. Every patient will have their own analysis into the problems they are having with their bite.
How Did They Test In The Past?
Believe it or not, with paper. The T-Scan allows for a far more accurate and precise reading of your bite's mechanics than the conventional way. Our practice will provide you with the latest dental equipment and technology on the market when you come for an assessment at the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry.
What Are The Benefits?
A T-Scan is able to create in-depth pre- and post-procedure records for easy storage and access on a computer, allowing for streamlined tracking of dental health. Never have bite mechanics been so easily available and therefore so extensively beneficial. By measuring the timing and force of the bite at individual locations within the mouth, the T-Scan can also identify potential problems within a bite and easily showcase them in chart and 3D format on a computer screen. Once identified, solutions for a bad bite can be easily discussed for a personalized treatment plan.
Concerned With Your Bite?
If you are suffering from symptoms or believe you may have a bad bite, rest assured that a T-Scan is the first step toward improving your dental health. For more information, we encourage you to contact our office in The Woodlands, TX for a consultation at the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry today.
