Steven Takahashi DDS maintains a general dentistry practice on Chula Vista's Third Avenue in the walkable Third Avenue Village district, the downtown corridor anchored by Savoie and Filippi's Pizza Grotto. Bruxism patients with concurrent tooth wear and cervical tension pair bite-guard therapy with spinal alignment work at Wachs Chiropractic Health Center for integrated jaw-and-neck pain management. The practice handles crown and bridge restorations, preventive hygiene, and basic oral surgery from the 610 Third Avenue address. TMJ dysfunction cases involving myofascial trigger points may also benefit from needle-based therapy approaches available at South Bay Family Acupuncture, complementing occlusal adjustment and splint therapy performed in-office. Custom-fabricated night guards utilize dual-laminate thermoplastic construction with a hard outer shell and soft inner lining to distribute nocturnal bite forces across the full occlusal plane.
