Evans and Randall Dentistry, led by Dr. Andrew Randall, DDS, provides bite evaluation in University Park, TX, with an approach that considers jaw function, tooth wear, and chewing forces when planning restorative and cosmetic dental treatment.<\/div>\n

Dallas, TX – October 10, 2026 –<\/strong> Bite evaluation in University Park, TX is central to a treatment-planning philosophy described by Dr. Andrew Randall, DDS, as the Bite-First Evaluation. At Evans and Randall Dentistry, the approach emphasizes examining how the upper and lower teeth function together before making decisions about more involved restorative or cosmetic treatment. The objective is to understand whether existing bite conditions may affect treatment choices, rather than evaluating each damaged or worn tooth in isolation.<\/p>\n

The approach reflects a broader consideration in restorative dentistry: the appearance of a tooth does not always explain why it has worn down, chipped, or required repeated repairs. Grinding, clenching, existing restorations, and changes in tooth structure may influence how forces are distributed during chewing. Dr. Randall’s BioRejuvenation dentistry services incorporate evaluation of bite function and existing tooth wear as part of treatment planning.<\/p>\n

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research identifies flattened, chipped, and cracked teeth among the possible signs of bruxism, a condition involving grinding or clenching. Its clinical guidance also identifies tooth sensitivity, jaw muscle soreness, and headaches as possible symptoms. These findings illustrate why evaluating tooth wear and jaw symptoms can provide useful information when planning dental restorations.<\/p>\n

“When we look at a worn or damaged tooth, we also want to understand the forces acting on it,” said Dr. Andrew Randall, DDS, of Evans and Randall Dentistry. “The Bite-First Evaluation reflects how we consider the relationship between the teeth, the bite, and jaw function before recommending more involved restorative treatment. The goal is to make decisions based on the patient’s complete clinical picture, not just the appearance of one tooth.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Randall earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Texas A&M University System Baylor College of Dentistry and completed advanced education in general dentistry at VCU School of Dentistry in Richmond, Virginia. He founded Randall Dentistry in Dallas in 2009 and provides general, restorative, cosmetic, and advanced dental services, including BioRejuvenation dentistry. His Texas dental license number is 19682.<\/p>\n

The Bite-First Evaluation considers several clinical factors when they are relevant to treatment planning:<\/p>\n
