Gentle relief from grinding, jaw tension, and headaches — while you sleep.
Waking up with a sore jaw, tension headaches, or sensitive teeth could be a sign of night-time clenching or grinding — also known as bruxism. Left untreated, this can lead to worn or cracked teeth, jaw muscle fatigue, and strain on the jaw joints (TMJ).
An occlusal splint is a custom-made night guard designed to protect your teeth and support your jaw. It’s a simple, non-invasive solution that helps prevent damage and ease symptoms — so you can rest more comfortably and protect your long-term oral health.
At your appointment, we’ll check for signs of clenching or grinding — like worn tooth surfaces, tiny fractures, or jaw stiffness — and take the time to talk through your symptoms and concerns. If a splint is right for you, we’ll walk you through the process with care and clarity.
Each splint is precisely fitted to your bite and worn during sleep. It gently positions the jaw into a more relaxed and stable posture, reducing tension in the muscles and joints, and protecting your teeth from further wear.
We take the time to truly understand your needs, explain your options clearly, and support you in making the choice that’s right for you.
