Some people face more risks for dental damage than others. If you are active in sports, or if you have any young athletes in the house, an injury can lead to serious dental trauma. For people who struggle with bruxism, a nightly habit of teeth grinding can lead to wear and tear, or even significant chips or cracks in teeth! Our Kansas City, MO dental practice is ready to help people keep their teeth safe from damages. We can work with you to design a custom mouth guard that stays secure, and keeps teeth in good condition.
A Dental Injury Can Cause Big Problems
A dental injury can put your oral health in jeopardy, and seriously alter your smile. Just as different degrees of tooth decay can call for different restorative dental treatments, the severity of an injury can affect how treatment is approached. A superficial injury may be fixable through cosmetic dental work. Cosmetic treatments can leave more of your tooth structure alone, and the work can take less time than you expect. Through bonding and contouring work, your smile can be restored in as little as one appointment! However, if the injury to your tooth affects your oral health, restorative dental work will be needed. You can be happy to know that our single-appointment dental crowns can provide protection while also addressing offering cosmetic improvements.
Have A Custom Sport Guard Created For Your Young Athlete
Our practice welcomes patients of all ages, including children in need of pediatric dental care. If you have a young athlete in your family, we can make sure their teeth stay safe with custom sports guards. By choosing a custom guard, you can make sure this protection stays secure. That added support can also make the guard more comfortable. Remember that kids are not the only ones who deserve great smile protection – we can also provide these appliances for adults!
Avoid Dental Damage From Teeth Grinding By Wearing A Custom Night Guard
A problem with nightly teeth grinding is something that should be addressed as soon as possible. If you continue to ignore the signs of bruxism, like sore or sensitive teeth, jaw pain, and facial soreness, you put yourself at risk for serious dental damage. The constant pressure on your teeth can wear down your enamel, and can even result in significant chipping and cracking! You can find that a custom guard is comfortable enough to wear without causing problems for your rest. When in place, the guard will keep your teeth apart, and protect you against possible dental trauma.
