What We Offer
From routine cleanings to complex full mouth reconstructions, we offer a full spectrum of dental services tailored to your unique needs.
Dr. Steve's Passion
Complex, multi-stage cases are where Dr. Steve truly shines. Whether you need to rebuild your entire bite, replace multiple missing teeth, or transform a worn-down smile, he brings an artist's eye and a scientist's precision to every case. These are the cases he lives for.
TMJ Headache Clinic
Dr. Steve Thordarson has dedicated a significant part of his career to understanding the way your teeth bite together — your occlusion — profoundly affects your overall health and quality of life.
Through hundreds of hours of advanced coursework and clinical experience, he has developed expertise in precisely aligning the bite to eliminate the root causes of chronic pain, protect dental restorations, and restore harmony to the jaw system.
You don't have to live with the pain. Many patients who have tried everything — medications, physiotherapy, even surgery — finally find lasting relief through occlusal equilibration. Dr. Steve has helped hundreds of patients reclaim their lives.
A comprehensive, non-invasive pathway to lasting relief
Proper occlusal alignment is also essential for the longevity of major restorative work. When the bite is off, even the finest crown or implant can fail prematurely. Dr. Steve ensures every restoration is placed in perfect harmony with your bite.
