Grinding and clenching your teeth, especially at night, puts enormous pressure on the enamel, jaw joints, and surrounding muscles. Over time, this wears teeth down, causes sensitivity, and contributes to TMJ pain and headaches. A custom occlusal guard creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing that force before it can cause damage.
At North Creek Dental Care, we fabricate custom occlusal guards for patients throughout Tinley Park and the Southland area. Our restorative dentistry team takes precise impressions of your teeth to ensure the guard fits comfortably and stays in place throughout the night. A proud Southland’s Best 2024 and 2025 winner, we provide protective solutions that are built to last and actually comfortable enough to wear consistently.
