Bite reclamation
Chipped, broken or worn teeth can cause issues where the teeth no longer meet correctly.
This condition can make chewing or even just biting difficult. Bite reclamation is
therefore more a restoration procedure than a cosmetic one as it is focused on
restructuring the teeth to reclaim their bite function. In bite reclamation the teeth will be
sculpted by the dentist to even them up do that they no longer inhibit a good bite
function. The individual techniques used by the dentist for example whether he grinds
the teeth or uses onlays or overlays will likely determine whether it is restorative or
cosmetic procedure.
