Default Bridge

Anyone have advice on how to identify precisely what part of a bridge needs to be shaved down to get a more comfortable bite? It's been about a year now and I've had maybe 4 "adjustments" done. Each time it seems to get a little better, but it's not quite there. They always have me bite on some paper to figure out where to shave. What exactly does that do? Is there another type of "bite test" that can be done? It always feels okay in the office, but the real test is of course eating, and there is still some discomfort there. I can tell it's still a bit high. It just seems really tricky to explain where the discomfort is so the dentist can get the right spot. I'm seriously getting tired of going there, and I'm feeling like a "picky" pain-in the butt patient. I think the dentist has reservations about shaving it down any further, and has even gone to shaving off the teeth above it to get the bite correct, which I totally disagree with. I'm about really to get a tool and do it myself!!
