Night Guards

Bruxism, or grinding, is a common problem with an increasing frequency in our fast-paced, high-stressed lives. Most people are unaware that they are grinding or clenching at night. The long-term effects of grinding can be incredibly damaging to your teeth, causing fractures, recession or loss of the gums, joint pain, and costly dental treatment.

At King Street Dental we will help identify and explain the signs of grinding and what can be done to minimize its effects. For most people, this will include a night guard. Made from a clear plastic designed specifically to your teeth, our night guards are comfortable, easy to clean, and strong enough to withstand the incredible forces that people can generate when grinding. Many people wake up and notice that jaw pain, headaches, and tooth sensitivity are gone simply by wearing a custom night guard.
