Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) Treatment
A personalized treatment plan to stop involuntary teeth grinding and relieve associated jaw pain and wear.
A personalized treatment plan that addresses involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, protecting enamel from wear and relieving associated jaw pain and headaches.
The dentist evaluates wear patterns on the teeth and jaw tension, then creates a custom night guard and, if needed, addresses bite imbalances or stress-related factors contributing to the grinding.
Stops enamel erosion, relieves chronic jaw pain and tension headaches, and prevents the long-term structural damage that untreated grinding causes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Patients with signs of teeth grinding or clenching, including worn enamel, cracked teeth, jaw pain, morning headaches, or a partner who has noticed grinding sounds during sleep.
The dentist evaluates wear patterns and jaw tension, then creates a custom night guard. Patients typically report less jaw pain and morning headaches within the first few weeks of use.
The evaluation and custom night guard fitting take place over two short appointments spaced one to two weeks apart. Most patients begin noticing reduced jaw soreness within the first few weeks of wearing it.
A night guard protects the teeth but does not stop the grinding habit itself — stress management or other interventions may also be helpful. The guard should be cleaned daily and brought to check-up visits so the fit can be monitored over time.
No recovery is needed. The bruxism evaluation and fitting appointment are non-invasive, and patients can go about their day normally after leaving the office.
