- Dental ExaminationA good bite is characterized by the upper teeth overlapping the lower teeth just a little. As for an improper bite, also known as malocclusion, it is a misalignment of the teeth as the jaws close. Dr. Moradi can identify malocclusion during a dental exam and create a custom treatment plan to fix a bite issue. Bite correction does not need to involve surgery.

- VeneersAfter the first stage of diagnosis, one of the TMJ treatment options is to correct the bite or the way the teeth come together. The bite affects how the jaw joint fits into the joint positioning. This process may also involve shaping the teeth, adding or reducing the tooth height, dental veneers or ortho appliances.
- CrownsDr. Moradi is the TMJ Dentist in Houston, TX and works in two locations of the Dental Wellness Group: in River Oaks and Dairy Ashford. She devotes her practice to help people with TMJ disorder using non-surgical dental procedures. With over 16 years of successful TMJ treatment, she saw on practice how aligning the lower jaw and stabilizing the jaw joint helps to treat headaches, ringing in the ear, sleep apnea, asthma and also save the teeth from grinding and as well as the cracking of the crowns. Her journey to becoming a TMJ specialist began when her little son began to suffer from sleep apnea and ENT doctors could not do much about it because it was related to his TMJ disorder. Dr. Moradi was able to help her son as well as many more patients. Her passion is to help people live free from TMJ pain.
- BridgesThis process is designed to rebuild all of the teeth in your mouth, using the art of aesthetics and the science of restorative dentistry. The goal is to enhance the function, health, and beauty of your smile. Full mouth reconstruction includes crowns, as well as dental bridges, veneers, and implants. For some patients, getting orthodontics is also useful to achieve proper jaw position and teeth alignment.
- Dental BondingComposite bonding effectively repairs fractured teeth or teeth with chips, decay, and discoloration. The process involves applying composite, a tooth-colored resin, to your tooth to fix its shape or color. The composite process is much simpler than porcelain veneers; composites can be applied in a single visit with minimal tooth removal.
- Restorative DentistryDr. Moradi, a Houston dentist, has been working for her patients from around the world for 17 years to preserve their oral health and to restore and maintain the natural beauty of their smiles. She specializes in restorative dentistry, along with other dental procedures, from preventive treatment, and treatment of cavities to replacement of missing teeth.
- Root Canal TreatmentDr. Moradi holds her IV sedation certificate and does wisdom teeth surgical extractions. She has more than 800 hours of continuing education in occlusion, gum surgery, root canal therapy, and orthodontics. Her philosophy of treatment is biology-based restorative dentistry with a conservative, non-surgical approach.
- Deep CleaningScaling and Root Planning (deep cleaning) and Periodontal MaintenanceScaling is the removal of tartar, plaque, and toxins from the gum line, as well as above the gum line. We also smooth out any rough root surfaces in a procedure called planning.
- DenturesIf some of your teeth are missing, but you still have some natural teeth, you can get precision partial dentures. These dentures restore arches where there are not enough teeth for fixed bridgework. Precision partial dentures are removable, you can take them out of the mouth and put them back. It is an economical way to replace missing teeth.
- Dental ImplantsThis patient had several missing teeth and removable partials. We placed implants and veneers to achieve the proper bite and brighten the smile. More of his neck is now visible, and the face is elongated, for an attractive appearance.
- Oral SurgeryDental implants are like metal anchors, usually made of titanium, they hold permanent replacement teeth or dentures. To get dental implants, you must undergo a minor oral surgery, during the surgery, your dentist will embed the implants into your jawbone. Dental implants are created following the structure of your natural teeth, so they provide a stable support for replacement teeth or dentures. They improve your biting pressure, nearly to the level of healthy, natural teeth, making the chewing process easy.
- Jaw SurgeryWhen Dr. Moradi examines a patient’s jaw and determines the severity of a TMD case, she will be able to see if this individual needs surgery or if non-surgical dental procedures make more sense. First, though, what exactly is orthognathic surgery?
- Gum SurgeryLASER TreatmentThe laser is very safe and precise, it removes a few cells at a time. It performs gentle and deep cleaning. When laser is used to treat gum disease, it reduces the chances for having gum surgery.
- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsOrthodontics are by far the most common solution for bite correction. Other popular oral appliances include braces and retainers. These oral devices all utilize the same strategy, which is to move your teeth into the ideal bite position slowly.
- BracesDental Wellness Group recommends treating the problems as soon as they are evident, to reduce the need later for braces and extractions.
