Bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding or jaw clenching, affects millions of people and can cause significant dental damage if left untreated. At Sweet City Smiles, Dr. Jonathan Chang provides comprehensive evaluations and treatments for this service to protect your teeth and improve your overall oral health. Our personalized approach helps patients find relief from grinding and clenching habits, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable life.
Why Treating Bruxism Protects Your Smile
Addressing bruxism early offers numerous benefits for your dental health and overall well-being. Preventing tooth damage is crucial, as chronic grinding can wear down enamel, cause fractures, and lead to costly restorations. Treatment also reduces jaw pain and headaches commonly associated with this service, improving your daily comfort. By managing bruxism, you can protect existing dental work like crowns and fillings from damage. Additionally, proper treatment helps improve sleep quality for both you and your partner, as nighttime grinding can be disruptive. Our comprehensive approach focuses on long-term solutions that preserve your natural teeth and enhance your quality of life.
Our Comprehensive Approach to Bruxism Treatment
Dr. Jonathan Chang begins with a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of bruxism damage and identify contributing factors. We examine your teeth for signs of wear, check your jaw joints, and discuss your symptoms and lifestyle habits. Custom night guards are often the primary treatment, designed specifically for your mouth to provide optimal protection and comfort. We may also recommend stress management techniques and lifestyle modifications to address underlying causes. For patients with severe wear, we discuss restorative options to repair damaged teeth. Our team provides ongoing monitoring to ensure your treatment remains effective and adjusts your care plan as needed for the best possible outcomes.
