Bite Guards at Cascadia Dental Studio Burnaby

Welcome to Cascadia Dental Studio Burnaby, where we offer custom-made bite guards to help protect your teeth and alleviate symptoms associated with teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalized care to address your dental needs and improve your overall oral health.

What are Bite Guards?

Bite guards, also known as night guards or occlusal guards, are custom-fitted dental appliances designed to be worn while sleeping to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism (teeth grinding) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. These conditions can cause a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, and worn-down enamel.

Benefits of Bite Guards

• Protection: Bite guards provide a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing them from grinding against each other and reducing the risk of tooth damage and wear.
• Pain Relief: By cushioning the teeth and reducing pressure on the jaw joints, bite guards can alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorders, such as jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension.
• Prevention: Wearing a bite guard can help prevent further damage to your teeth and TMJ, preserving your oral health and preventing the need for more extensive dental treatments in the future.
• Improved Sleep Quality: By reducing teeth grinding and jaw clenching, bite guards can improve the quality of your sleep and help you wake up feeling more rested and refreshed.

The Bite Guard Process

• The process of receiving a custom-made bite guard at Cascadia Dental Studio Burnaby typically involves the following steps:
• Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your symptoms and concerns related to teeth grinding or TMJ disorders.
• Impressions: Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom-fitted bite guard that fits comfortably and securely in your mouth.
• Fitting: Once your bite guard is ready, you’ll return to our office for a fitting. Your dentist will ensure that the bite guard fits properly and make any necessary adjustments for comfort.
