Night and Mouth Guards for Clenching & Grinding
Alleviate jaw pain as well as muscle pain and stop wearing down your teeth from clenching and grinding with one of our custom made mouth or night guards.
Many people suffer from clenching and grinding problems because their teeth do not align correctly. This poses a serious threat to not only the teeth and jaw, but puts unnecessary stress on muscles in the head, neck, face, and back. When these muscles are put under stress they can cause migraines, headaches, neck pain, and facial asymmetry. We’ll help reduce clenching and grinding with a custom made mouthguard.
Balanced Nightguards
Key Benefits
- Biocompatible material
- Customized to help your mouth joints and muscles work in harmony
- Relaxes your muscles
- Prevents headaches,jaw and muscle pain
- Helps you Sleep better
- Protects your teeth
While many of us sleep, we unknowingly grind and clench our teeth. Over time, this can wear teeth down, destroy previous dental work, and put a lot of strain on your jaw joints and muscles of your face and neck. A night guard is the simplest way to help protect your teeth while you sleep. A properly made night guard is custom designed to your mouth. It is made of heat cured plastic which is biologically compatible and is shaped so as to allow the teeth to meet evenly and the muscles of your jaw to be in harmony with your teeth. This allows the muscles to relax and minimize the forces which can damage your teeth and jaw joints. Many of our patients have reported that they love their night guards and don’t want to sleep without them. As a further testimonial, every team member in our office wears their guard nightly!

Bite Therapy
Key Benefits
- Fixes broken down and cracked sensitive teeth
- Rebuilds worn down teeth and bites
- Stabilises the bite and prevents further wear and breakdown of the teeth.
- Harmonises the muscles and jaw joints eliminating stress in the chewing systems
- Eliminates or dramatically reduces head, neck and jaw pain
Bite therapy is an integral part of cranio-facial dentistry involving treating your bite so that the teeth, jaw joints, and muscles work in harmony. This leads to decreased stress in your chewing system and can eliminate your jaw/muscle pain and your head and neck aches. The teeth wear less, have far less breakages, and restorations last longer. At Kerrisdale Dental Centre, we have a specific, detailed protocol to address any bite issues you may have.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does treatment take?
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive examination and diagnosis. Depending on the extent and nature of the breakdown in your chewing system, treatment can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months.
Are there multiple appointments?
Yes. Treatment typically involves several appointments.
First, we conduct a thorough examination and take molds of your teeth, which are analyzed using a jaw simulator. We also use computerized equipment to evaluate your jaw joints and jaw function.
Based on this information, we determine the optimal jaw position for your body and create a blueprint of your teeth in that position. This blueprint is placed on your teeth using a tooth-colored material, allowing you to “test drive” the new bite and ensure it feels comfortable and functions properly.
Once the ideal position has been established, we prepare your teeth and complete the restoration process over approximately six appointments.
What does KDC do differently than other dentists?
Our dentists have completed extensive training with leading teaching institutes around the world. This advanced education allows them to draw from a wide range of techniques and treatment philosophies to select the best approach for your specific condition.
In addition, our in-house laboratory artist oversees your treatment to provide highly customized, natural-looking aesthetic results. We are committed to delivering care in a gentle, friendly, and comfortable environment—many patients are surprised by how comfortable the treatment experience can be.
How much does treatment cost?
The cost of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the amount of work required. Following your examination, we will provide a detailed treatment plan and estimate.
Does insurance cover this treatment?
Most dental insurance plans provide some level of coverage, depending on your specific benefits and annual limits. Our team can help you understand your coverage and maximize your insurance benefits whenever possible.
