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.
Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry Reviews
Stephanie did awesome job cleaning my teeth today !!!
Was in today Staff is the best and very knowledgeable. Appointments are honored to the minutes which is so important in today's world. A bit expensive but you truly get what you pay for. No different than I run my business. Overall just a great dentist and experience.
I had a wonderful whitening session. Procedure was very fairly priced and the entire staff was very friendly. I was in and out within 2 hours. Which is great for any whitening sessions. And my results were unbelievable 🤩 I would 10/10 recommend Texas Cosmetic Dentistry. Thank you guys!! Edit: 10 months later I had another wonderful experience with Lenora. (Forgive me if I said her name wrong, this was a few weeks ago) I called to see if they could fit me in for a last minute whitening appointment for my Wedding elopement in Las Vegas. We pretty much ditched the big wedding we had booked and took off a few days later! When I explained to the receptionist the circumstances she quickly put me on hold and got me an appointment first thing…. My results were wonderful as you can see here!!! I had plenty of stains from my Invisalign and they are minimal if not completely gone. Thanks again y’all for a wonderful experience 💛
Life changing smile, it was done not only correct, but exceeded every high expectation I had. Thank you Team, it was a great experience.
Always receive great service on every visit.

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.
