Mouth Guards, Dentures, & Bleaching Appliances

We can help create a suitable Mouth Guard/ Night Guardb to fullfill your needs, whether it be due to unconscious, clenching and grinding habits or for use in contact sports.

Dentures (artificial teeth) are synthetic replacements for missing natural teeth. Dentures are designed to help fill out your facial profile and improve your overall appearance. This procedure makes it easier for one to eat, chew, and speak regularly. Dentures commonly replace a few missing teeth, while others dentures may replace all teeth, gums, and surrounding tissue. Below is some insight and answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

Bleaching Appliances are used to help whiten a patient's teeth. Our team has rated several appliances for how quickly and effectively each bleaching appliance has brightened smiles. We also looked into any reports of adverse sideaffects that left a patient's teeth and gums feeling sensitive or irritated.

Why Should I Invest in a Mouth Guard?

Simply wearing a Mouth Guard can help protect your teeth from the grinding, clenching, and impact of playing competitive sports.

Mouth Guards can also help protect your teeth while you are asleep! Bruxism is a condition when you unconsciously grind your teeth when you are awake or asleep.

The Benefits Outweigh Possible Complications

Benefits:
Prevents Headache Many patients report reduced temporal headaches after consistently wearing Mouth Guards/ Night Guards.

Prevent Tooth Damage Mouth Guard/ Night Guard prevent the unconscious grinding and clenching of your teeth while you are asleep.

Improved Sleep Quality Wearing a Mouth Guard/ Night Guard creates a small gap between the upper & lower jaw, which facilitates the jaw muscles to relax, and in turn helps increases air intake, effectively allowing you to sleep better, and snore less.

Possible Complications:
Unconsciously grinding & clenching of our teeth can file down the natural enamel of our teeth and expose the dentine. Dentin surrounds and protects our dental pulp tissue(nerves, blood vessels, and cells), and is critical to maintaining the structural integrity of our teeth.

Once our dentine is exposed, eating or drinking cold or hot will lead to painful discomfort, and require extensive restorative dental treatment.

Why Shouldn't I just Wait Until I'm in Serious Pain?

The damage caused by unconscious grinding and clenching of your teeth can slowly result in cracked or chipped teeth.

In the long run, it is more benificial to protect your teeth rather than needing to fix them later. You may end up spending more on restorative dental treatments than would by just purchasing a protective Mouth Guard.

Apart from oral hygiene and regular dental check-up, wearing a Mouth Guard is also necessary to reduce jaw pain and prevent lockjaw.
