Miami Functional Dentist

Whole-body care starts with a balanced smile

A deeper

kind of dentistry

At Real Smile Dentistry, we practice physiologic dentistry because we believe the mouth is a window into the body. As a leading Miami functional dentist, our goal is to uncover and treat the root causes of discomfort, dysfunction, and imbalance.

We look beyond cavities and cleanings to ask: How is your bite affecting your posture? Your breathing? Your sleep? Using advanced diagnostics and airway-aware planning, we treat the mouth as part of a much bigger picture: your whole health.

If you’re dealing with headaches, jaw pain, tooth wear, or unexplained dental issues, physiologic dentistry may offer the long-term relief and clarity you’ve been missing.

What physiologic dentistry

addresses

Our holistic approach to physiologic dentistry focuses on restoring balance, improving function, and supporting your total-body health.

  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
  • Muscle tension and facial pain
  • Airway restriction and sleep-disordered breathing
  • Clenching, grinding, and tooth wear
  • Chronic headaches or migraines
  • Postural imbalance from bite misalignment

FAQs

What is physiologic dentistry?

Physiologic dentistry focuses on how the bite, jaw joints, muscles, and airway work together. Instead of treating isolated dental problems, it aims to restore balance to the entire system for long-term comfort and function.

How is this different from general dentistry?

General dentistry often treats symptoms. Physiologic dentistry looks deeper, evaluating bite forces, jaw position, muscle function, and airway health to resolve the underlying causes of pain or dysfunction.

Is this approach right for me?

If you’ve had ongoing issues with jaw pain, bite discomfort, or sleep problems, a physiologic evaluation performed by our Miami functional dentist may reveal what’s really going on.

Will it change the way I look or speak?

By restoring natural function, many patients experience improved facial harmony, clearer speech, and better breathing. Any changes are guided by what supports your health, not cosmetic trends.

What to Expect

We take a thoughtful, thorough approach to your care:

  • In-depth diagnostics – We use 3D imaging, jaw tracking, EMG scans, and digital bite analysis to understand your functional baseline.
  • Collaborative consultation – You’ll sit down with our team to review results and co-create a personalized treatment plan.
  • Precision treatment – From orthodontics to restorative care, every step is designed to bring your bite, airway, and body back into balance.
  • Support that evolves with you – We check in regularly and refine your care as your body adapts and heals.

Why choose our

physiologic approach?

Advanced Diagnostic Technology

We use EMG muscle testing, T-Scan occlusion analysis, and CBCT imaging to plan with accuracy and intention.

Whole-Body Awareness

Your health deserves a 360° view. We consider the way you sleep, breathe, move, and feel.

Regenerative Healing

For surgical cases, we combine platelet-rich plasma therapy with laser technology to reduce inflammation and promote natural healing.

Long-Term Relief

Our goal is stability, comfort, and sustainable wellness, not temporary solutions.

I have had Real Smile on my radar for a while for the tons of recommendations I’ve received and I finally came today for the first time and had a beyond-amazing experience. With just a cleaning I noticed an immediate glow in my smile. I can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been coming here for over 25 years, and at this point, they’re more like family than just my dentist. Dr. Nassery is not only incredibly skilled but also truly cares about his patients. I wouldn’t trust my smile with anyone else! Hands down the best dentist in town!

— Miguel L.

I came to Dr. Nassery with severe pain from what I thought was TMJ. Without surgery, he has completely fixed my jaw and I’m 100% pain-free. He’s a true expert. Office staff is also lovely, very helpful and always on time.

I absolutely love this practice! My entire family has been seeing Dr. Nassery for years. I’m beyond grateful to have access to a dentist who is incredibly knowledgeable and takes more of a holistic approach to mouth care. I highly recommend Dr. Nassery to anyone in need of a dentist!
