Grinding / Tooth Wear

Many people have a tooth grinding habit, sometimes you may not even be aware you are doing it until you see the effects in your mouth. These results can take the form of worn down teeth, headaches, clicking jaws or even broken teeth.

Fortunately there are many things that can be done to prevent further damage as well as repairing the damage already done.

We can provide you with a night guard to take the pressure of your teeth that is usually a result of night time grinding and clenching. This guard acts to protects the teeth and relaxes the muscles alleviating pain and discomfort felt in the jaw and head.

At Crown Cottage we have a state of the art device called a T Scan, this amazing piece of technology uses computer software to help guide the dentist to rebalance your bite. It has been likened to having the wheels balanced on your car.

The dentist can then, ensure pressure is more evenly balanced across your mouth.

In many cases by the time you visit your dentist to discuss this problem, damage has already been done. We can provide you with a tailor made solution using a variety of different techniques to restore your smile.
