Occlusal Splint Dental Clinic

Do you grind your teeth at night or experience frequent jaw pain? These could be signs of bruxism, a condition that can lead to severe damage to your teeth and jaw. At our Occlusal Splint Dental Clinic, we offer customised occlusal splint therapy to protect your teeth and alleviate discomfort. Occlusal splints, often referred to as grinding guards, are durable dental appliances worn over your teeth to reduce the pressure caused by grinding or clenching. They are an essential solution for preventing tooth wear, jaw pain, and related issues.

Occlusal Splint Dental

An occlusal splint is a specially designed dental device made from durable acrylic or advanced 3D-printed materials. It is worn over your upper or lower teeth, typically at night or during stressful periods when clenching is more likely.

  • Protects Teeth: Prevents damage caused by grinding or clenching (bruxism).
  • Relieves Jaw Pain: Alleviates pressure on the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.
  • Preserves Dental Work: Shields crowns, veneers, and fillings from excessive wear.
  • Improves Sleep: Reduces discomfort associated with grinding, enhancing sleep quality.

Our clinic specialises in creating custom-fitted splints that are comfortable, durable, and effective, tailored to your unique needs.

Signs that You May Require Occlusal Splint Therapy

Recognising the signs of bruxism or other dental issues can help you seek timely treatment. Here are some common indicators:

  1. Grinding or Clenching Teeth: Habitual grinding, especially at night, can lead to tooth wear and damage.
  2. Jaw Pain or Stiffness: Persistent discomfort in the jaw joint or surrounding muscles is a key symptom of bruxism.
  3. Headaches: Frequent tension headaches, particularly in the morning, may be caused by clenching your jaw during sleep.
  4. Tooth Sensitivity: Excessive grinding can wear down enamel, making teeth more sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
  5. Cracked or Chipped Teeth: Unexplained damage to teeth, such as cracks or chips, may indicate excessive force from grinding.
  6. Restless Sleep or Snoring: Grinding or clenching is often linked to disrupted sleep patterns and even conditions like sleep apnoea.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, consulting an occlusal splint dentist can help protect your teeth and improve your overall oral health

Our Streamlined Process

We’ve developed a simple and efficient process for creating and fitting your custom occlusal splint:

Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed examination of your teeth and jaw to assess the extent of grinding or clenching. If necessary, we may recommend a sleep study to evaluate related conditions like sleep apnoea.

Step 2: 3D Scans and Impressions
Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we capture precise impressions of your teeth. This ensures a perfect fit for your splint.

Step 3: Custom Fabrication
Your splint is custom-made at a trusted dental laboratory using durable materials. The process typically takes 2–3 weeks.

Step 4: Fitting and Adjustments
Once your splint is ready, we schedule a fitting appointment to ensure it’s comfortable and functional. Any necessary adjustments are made for optimal results.

Step 5: Ongoing Care and Maintenance
We provide detailed instructions on cleaning and maintaining your splint to maximise its longevity and effectiveness.
