Dr. Sam Pollock and Dr. Jordan Dobmeier offer custom night guards to treat bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), TMJ disorders, and related oral health concerns. These specially crafted oral appliances protect your teeth and support your overall oral health as you sleep.
Many people are unaware they suffer from bruxism because teeth grinding and clenching typically occur during sleep. Common signs and symptoms include:
- Chronic jaw pain
- Facial or ear discomfort
- Tightness or fatigue in the jaw upon waking
- Frequent morning headaches or migraines
- Worn or damaged tooth enamel
- Chipped, flattened, or cracked teeth
- Indentations on the side of the tongue
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Gum recession
If left untreated, bruxism can lead to significant damage to your teeth and oral health.
How Night Guards Help
Custom night guards are designed to create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing them from making contact during sleep. Tailored to fit your unique dental structure, these appliances are both comfortable and effective. They not only prevent further damage but also enable our dentists to assess the current state of your oral health and develop a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile.
