Mouthguard for TMJ grinding

Custom Mouth Guards

If you or your child plays sports, a custom-fitted mouth guard is one of the best ways to protect the teeth and jaw from injury. Custom mouthguards are especially important for patients with orthodontic braces. At Lane Family Dentistry, we take a precise impression of your teeth and create a device fitted specifically to your mouth, providing better comfort, easier breathing, and superior protection compared to store-bought options. Preventing a dental injury is always more affordable than repairing the damage caused by facial trauma.

Custom Night Guards

 
We provide custom night guards designed to reduce pressure on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and relieve jaw discomfort, ear pain, and tension headaches.
 
Many patients are unaware that these symptoms are often linked to bruxism, a common condition involving nighttime teeth grinding or clenching. Over time, this repeated stress can wear down enamel, strain the jaw joint, and lead to chronic pain.
 
Our professionally crafted night guards are made from durable acrylic and tailored for a precise, comfortable fit. Worn while you sleep, they help protect your teeth, minimize grinding, and support long-term TMJ health.

A bridge is placed as an anchor for artificial teeth to adjacent crowns. A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape and strength. Both are forms of restorative dentistry.

Both procedures serve several advantages, such as bite restoration, protection for compromised teeth, and support for jaw alignment and chewing function. They’re durable and can last over a decade with proper care.

Crowns require reshaping the natural teeth, and bridges could alter the health of adjacent teeth in exchange for its support. Bridges don’t prevent bone loss under the missing tooth like implants can, and if a supporting tooth fails, the entire bridge may need replacing.

Maintaining your oral hygiene, avoiding chewing hard objects, and regular check-ups with your dentist can ensure your restorations last for years.
