At Hampton Dental Surgery, we provide custom-made occlusal splints and night guards to help protect your teeth and relieve discomfort from teeth grinding and jaw tension.
If you wake up with headaches, a sore jaw, or sensitive teeth, you may be grinding your teeth without even knowing it. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to worn enamel, cracked teeth, and long-term jaw problems, all of which are far more complex and costly to treat down the track.
Our Hampton team will assess your symptoms and create a night guard that fits comfortably and works effectively, so you can sleep soundly and wake up without pain.
Occlusal splints (commonly known as night guards) are custom-fitted dental appliances worn over your teeth, usually while sleeping.
They create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the effects of grinding (bruxism) and relieving pressure on the jaw joint.
Your dentist will recommend the most suitable type based on your condition.
