Night Guard & Bruxism Treatment in Bengaluru
Teeth grinding (bruxism) causes worn teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and cracked fillings. A custom-fitted night guard from Dentick protects your teeth while you sleep: precise, comfortable, durable.
Final cost is confirmed in writing after your examination, before any treatment begins. No hidden charges.
Do You Grind Your Teeth?
Bruxism often happens during sleep. Many patients are unaware until the damage becomes visible.
Flattened or Worn Teeth
Grinding progressively wears down tooth enamel, flattening the biting surfaces. Once enamel is lost, it does not grow back. Protection is critical.
Jaw Pain & Stiffness
Waking up with jaw soreness, stiffness, or difficulty opening your mouth fully is a classic sign of nocturnal bruxism and associated TMJ (jaw joint) strain.
Morning Headaches
The masseter muscles (chewing muscles) can become chronically overloaded by grinding, leading to tension headaches that are typically worst upon waking.
Cracked Fillings & Teeth
Unexplained cracked fillings, broken cusps, or tooth fractures in otherwise healthy teeth frequently point to undetected bruxism as the underlying cause.

Significantly. OTC guards are generic. They often fit poorly, which can actually worsen jaw joint symptoms. A custom guard is fabricated from your own impressions for precise fit, comfort, and optimum protection.
A night guard does not stop the grinding. It protects your teeth from the damage caused by it. Addressing the root cause (stress, sleep disorders, bite problems) requires a broader approach. We discuss all options at your consultation.
With proper care, a custom night guard typically lasts 2–5 years depending on grinding severity. Heavy grinders may wear through a soft guard faster. We inspect your guard at regular check-up appointments.
Common signs include waking up with a dull headache or sore jaw, teeth that look flattened or chipped, increased cold sensitivity, and a partner mentioning grinding sounds while you sleep. Many people are genuinely unaware they do it. We often spot the wear pattern during a routine check-up.
