Protecting Your Teeth from Nighttime Stress
Occlusal splints are custom-made appliances designed to safeguard your teeth from excessive grinding or clenching, especially during sleep. These habits—often unconscious—can place significant strain on your teeth and jaw. At East Bay Dental, we provide expertly crafted splints that help reduce wear, discomfort, and long-term damage.
Customized Fit for Maximum Comfort
Every occlusal splint we create is tailored to your bite using precise impressions and high-quality dental materials. This ensures a secure, comfortable fit that stays in place throughout the night. Because each appliance is made specifically for your mouth, it delivers more effective protection than over-the-counter options.
Relief for Jaw Pain and Tension
Patients who suffer from bruxism or TMJ-related symptoms often experience jaw stiffness, headaches, and muscle fatigue. Occlusal splints help by minimizing pressure on the jaw joints and stabilizing your bite during sleep. Over time, this can ease discomfort and improve the way your jaw functions day to day.
Supporting Long-Term Oral Health
Using an occlusal splint can prevent enamel wear, cracked teeth, and other complications caused by grinding and clenching. It also helps protect dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, and fillings. At East Bay Dental, we guide you through proper use and care of your appliance to ensure lasting comfort and durability.
