Our Solutions for Bite TMJ, Head & Neck Pain

The Occlusal Rehabilitation Centre brings together the collective experience of Dr. John Nasedkin and Dr. Abbas Tejani with the leading medical-dental technologies to create personalised treatment plans and address these conditions, all in a professional and cutting-edge clinic where you can begin to stabilize and heal.

Jaw Repositioning Appliance(s)

Different from a regular mouth guard or night guard, a repositioning appliance teaches your body to hold your jaw joints in a more stable and healing position.

Stabilization Splint

An upper or lower occlusal splint to increase the posterior vertical dimension and reduce functional forces on the temporomandibular (jaw) joints.

Twin Blocks

Twin Blocks are a removable functional appliance that consist of two bite blocks which interlock in such a manner that the mandible is held in a more protrusive position.

Fixed Orthotic

When a bite is overclosed and there are symptoms like muscle pain and jaw joint soreness, the first phase treatment is some kind of appliance to establish a new bite on a trial basis.

Canine Risers

When there is a lack of jaw separation and uncoordinated movement in sideways excursion, the canine can be reshaped and/or rebuilt with a riser to achieve an optimal jaw separation.

Additional Services

At Occlusal Rehabilitation Centre, we offer a range of additional services that complement our core focus on bite function, jaw health, and long-term stability. We offer Invisalign, and other general dental services.

He has always continued to strive for excellence and to expand his scope and skills in dentistry from starting off as a ‘tooth’ dentist, growing to provide treatment as a whole mouth dentist and now evolving to provide dentistry in the context of the whole body.

I had been looking for a solution to my teeth grinding and TMJ. It was unbearable. My symptoms are under control I can open my jaw and pain from my head, neck and shoulders has diminished. It’s a process but one worth going through! Thank you

Amanda S. Review on Google

I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who is suffering from TMD. Dr. Tejani is very professional and he is a specialist for any TMJ related issues. I'm a patient with TMD around 10 years, and I got migraine and headache almost everyday. My left side jaw muscle is much bigger than the right side which makes my face looks unbalanced. After a few months of treatment, my headache is 90% gone, and my face looks much more balanced than before. I'm very appreciated for Dr. Tejani's help and treatment.

Mengyuan S. Review on Google

I’ve been under Dr Tejanis care for about a month now and my jaw feels better than ever. He is an expert at finding the perfect resting jaw position which can be detrimental if the jaw is not in a proper resting and biting position. He also has a plethora of contacts for other top level doctors for surgery and other modalities like chiropractors if it is necessary in your case. He is definitely the highest level tmj doctor you can find in this part of the world.

Dr. Tejani and his staff are all wonderful. Their clinic uses state of the art technology, are extremely thorough, deeply knowledgeable, and concerned first and foremost with your well being as a patient. I can’t recommend them enough. I am a patient with jaw alignment issues from a disc dislocation and have found help through their expertise...
