Bite Adjustment
A bite is considered to be healthy when all or most of the teeth are present and not destroyed by normal daily usage.
It is destructive when teeth show wear, looseness or when TMJ (jaw joint) damage is seen. Bite therapy helps restore a bite that can function without damage and destruction. The therapy may include:
- Reshaping the biting surfaces of the teeth and eliminating spots of excessive pressures where the teeth are brought into contact. This is done by carefully dividing bite pressures evenly across all of the teeth.
- Bite splint therapy using a custom-fitted and adjusted plastic bite guard to keep the teeth apart, worn during the day, at night, or both.
- Braces to reposition mal-aligned or drifted teeth.
- Replacement of old, worn out, or damaged fillings.
- Reconstruction of badly worn and damaged teeth.

Patient Review by Jim S
This was my first experience with a periodontist and I feel very fortunate that it was with compassionate professionals like Dr. Sierakowski and his staff. Although I went into this procedure with a good deal of apprehension, Dr. Sierakowski's calm manner and his clear explanation of what he was going to do soon put me at ease. I can honestly say I felt minimal discomfort throughout the entire procedure. His explanations and follow-up directions were clear and helpful. I have already recommended Dr. Sierkowski to my son-in-law and would gladly recommend him to others also.

Patient Review by Xavier M
I have been a patient of Brandywine Periodontics for over 14 years. Dr. Steven Sierakowski (Dr. S.) is one of the nicest people I know. His personal greeting, his bedside manner and professionalism is refreshing. He treats you like family. His staff is also top notch. They have been with Dr. S for as long as I have been a patient. As soon as you walk into the office you are greeted by the always friendly Joyce. No need to sign in, She knows who you are. Then there is the other friendly face Tiffani. Tiffani is the dental assistant. Her pleasantry and personality put you at ease as soon as you sit in the chair. I honestly look forward to my twice a year visits. If not for Dr. S and his staff my diet would have consisted of Jello ad veggie shakes. They help me not only keep my teeth but also my pride. I highly recommend Dr.S and his wonderful staff.

Steve for implants!
