How Do We Treat Grinding & Clenching?

Bruxism - the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, often during sleep - can cause significant damage over time. Our clinicians assess the extent of wear, identify contributing factors, and provide effective solutions to protect your teeth and relieve symptoms. 

We create precision-fitted night guards (occlusal splints) from impressions of your teeth. Worn during sleep, these guards cushion your teeth, reduce grinding forces, and prevent further enamel wear. They are far more effective and comfortable than shop-bought alternatives. 

Grinding and clenching often contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, causing jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and earache. We assess your jaw function and provide tailored management including splint therapy, exercises, and lifestyle guidance. 

If grinding has already damaged your teeth, we can restore them with composite bonding, veneers, or crowns. Once the grinding is managed with a night guard, we rebuild the affected teeth for long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before visiting 310 Dental Care in Headington. Can't find your answer? Get in touch with our team.

How do I know if I grind my teeth?

Common signs include worn or flattened tooth surfaces, jaw pain on waking, headaches, sensitive teeth, and a partner hearing you grind at night. We can identify grinding during a routine examination. 

Bruxism often cannot be eliminated entirely, but it can be effectively managed. A custom night guard protects your teeth, and addressing stress, sleep quality, and other contributing factors can significantly reduce grinding. 

Yes. Custom-made night guards are designed to fit precisely and feel comfortable. Most patients adjust within a few nights and find they sleep better with the guard in place.

Yes. Grinding places excessive force on fillings, crowns, veneers, and implants, which can cause them to crack or fail prematurely. A night guard protects both natural teeth and restorations. 

Stress and anxiety are among the most common triggers for bruxism. We will discuss lifestyle factors and, where appropriate, recommend relaxation techniques or referral alongside dental treatment.
