Teeth Grinding
Treatment
Bruxism (teeth grinding) causes headaches, jaw pain and damaged teeth — often without you knowing. A custom night guard protects your teeth while you sleep.
Full examination, digital X-rays and a written treatment plan. £40 refunded if you proceed. New patients seen within one week.
Are you grinding your teeth?
Most teeth grinding happens during sleep — you may not know you do it. Common signs include: waking with a sore jaw or headache, teeth that look worn or flattened, cracked fillings or crowns, sensitivity without decay, and a partner who hears you grinding at night.
Untreated bruxism progressively damages your teeth — wearing down enamel, cracking fillings, chipping bonding, and in severe cases fracturing teeth. A custom night guard absorbs the grinding forces and protects your dental work.
How it works
Your dentist takes impressions of your teeth and a night guard is made in a dental laboratory to fit your bite precisely. Unlike shop-bought guards, a custom guard is thin, comfortable and effective — most patients adapt within a few nights. You wear it every night to protect your teeth and relieve jaw tension.
