Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common condition that can lead to significant damage to your teeth, jaw, and overall oral health. Often occurring during sleep, it may go unnoticed until symptoms like worn teeth, jaw discomfort, or persistent headaches arise.

At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we are specialists in treating bruxism, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, and functional problems of the jaw. Our experienced team is dedicated to diagnosing the underlying causes of your teeth grinding, whether they are stress-related, linked to misalignment, or associated with TMJ issues. Bruxism is a brain mediated activity and leads to waking up more during the night and reduced sleep quality. A nightguard can help to reduce this and help with better sleep initially until the underlying problems are solved.

We start with a thorough assessment to understand the severity of your bruxism and its potential links to TMJ disorders or other functional problems. Based on our findings, we provide custom-fitted night guards, a proven solution that prevents further tooth damage while offering comfort and relief. We’ll also work with you to discuss long-term management options, ensuring better oral health and comfort in the future.
