Bite Splints & Night Guards

Protecting your teeth and easing jaw tension while you sleep.

Teeth Whitening Services

Bite splints and night guards are custom-made dental appliances designed to protect your teeth from the effects of clenching and grinding. Often worn during sleep, they help reduce pressure on the jaw, prevent tooth wear, and relieve muscle discomfort. At Bayside Dental, each splint is carefully designed to fit comfortably and support long-term oral health.

Why Bite Splints Are Used?

Happy Family at Dentist
Teeth grinding, known as bruxism, often occurs unconsciously during sleep or periods of stress. Over time, this habit can wear down enamel, strain jaw muscles, and damage dental restorations such as crowns or veneers.
  • Reducing Strain. Preventing Damage.

    A custom dental splint acts as a protective barrier between the teeth, reducing pressure on the jaw and helping to prevent further wear. Many patients experience relief from headaches, facial tension, and jaw discomfort once grinding forces are controlled.

Understanding Teeth Grinding and Clenching

Understanding Teeth Grinding and Clenching
Bruxism can place extreme pressure on teeth and jaw joints, sometimes causing up to significantly more wear than normal chewing forces. Over time, this can lead to enamel loss, cracked teeth, jaw pain, and damage to restorations. Bite splints help manage these forces and support healthier jaw function.
