Tooth Grinding/Bite Splints/Nightguards

It is most common at night, while you are asleep. Mild, occasional grinding is of little consequence, but some people have a real problem – intense grinding can cause damage to teeth, fillings, crowns, etc.

Extreme wear can eventually occur, endangering teeth. Muscular and joint pain, or headaches, are common symptoms.

Custom made night guards (which we often call splints), can benefit those who suffer from this condition. The guards are made individually from models of your teeth. Our lab mounts the models in a machine that reproduces jaw movements, and the splint is carefully fabricated to ensure a superb fit. Damage to joints and teeth is reduced, and muscle strain can be relieved.
