Protect your teeth from nighttime grinding and clenching with a custom-made splint.

Prevent Tooth Wear and Ease Jaw Tension

Grinding Splints in Narre Warren South & Ferntree Gully

Teeth grinding and jaw clenching—also known as bruxism—can cause serious damage over time, including worn teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and even cracked restorations. At Crown Dental Group, we create custom-made grinding splints that cushion your teeth during sleep and relieve pressure on your jaw joints.

Frequently asked questions about grinding splints

Do I really need a grinding splint?

If you wake up with a sore jaw, frequent headaches, or notice wear on your teeth, a splint could help protect your teeth and relieve strain.

Can I buy a night guard from the chemist?

Store-bought guards are often bulky and not tailored to your bite, which can lead to discomfort or even worsen jaw alignment issues.

How long will a grinding splint last?

With proper care, most splints last several years. We’ll check its fit during your regular dental check-ups.
