What are Occlusal Splints (Night Guards)?
Are you waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or experiencing excessive wear on your teeth? If so, you might be suffering from bruxism, a condition where you unconsciously clench or grind your teeth, especially at night. But fret not! Goodna Family Dentist is here to help you find relief and protect your precious smile with our top-notch occlusal splints.
Occlusal splints, commonly known as night guards, are custom-made dental appliances designed to treat problems with the bite, such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). They serve as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing direct contact and cushioning the impact of grinding or clenching. Our dental team has the expertise to design and fabricate an occlusal splint that fits comfortably and effectively addresses the specific needs of each patient.
Benefits of Occlusal Splints (Night Guards)
By wearing an occlusal splint at night, you can reduce the harmful effects of bruxism and alleviate related symptoms, improving your overall oral health. By creating a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, these custom-made occlusal splints prevent tooth wear and fractures caused by grinding. Moreover, they provide relief from jaw pain, headaches, and facial discomfort, promoting better sleep and overall oral health. With our occlusal splints Ipswich, patients can enjoy the comfort of a restful night’s sleep while safeguarding their precious smiles from the detrimental effects of bruxism.
What are Mouth Guards?
Mouthguards are essential for anyone who participates in sports or any physical activity that involves a risk of injury to the mouth and teeth. Our dental team provides a range of custom-fit mouth guards to ensure optimal protection for our patients. Whether you are a professional athlete or simply enjoy playing recreational sports, our mouth guards provide comfort and protection for your teeth, gums and jaw.
Benefits of Our Mouthguards
At Goodna Family Dentist, we offer high-quality mouthguards with a wide range of benefits to protect your smile and ensure your oral health remains in top condition. For athletes, our sports-specific mouth guards provide a reliable protective barrier, minimizing the risk of sports-related dental injuries such as broken teeth, lip lacerations, and jaw fractures. For individuals dealing with bruxism, our custom-made night guards Ipswich offer effective relief by preventing teeth grinding and clenching, which in turn reduces teeth wear and alleviates jaw pain and headaches. Comfort is of utmost importance to us, which is why our custom mouth guards are designed to fit snugly over your teeth, ensuring a secure fit without interfering with your breathing or speech. Lastly, if you have dental restorations like braces, crowns, or bridges, our mouth guards act as a protective shield, preserving your investments and maintaining their longevity.
