At Lisa Konz Dental Care we design custom dental night guards for symptom relief. The precise fit offers your best protection from the pain, wear and tear of “clenching or grinding” your teeth. The habit of “clenching and grinding” is called bruxism. It weakens your teeth and can lead to painful symptoms of TMJ Disorder (TMJ). Dr. Konz is specially trained and certified in the diagnosis and treatment of bruxism.
Our customized night guards fit more comfortably, provide better symptom relief and last longer than over-the-counter and even most professionally made night guards. We achieve exceptional quality by taking additional steps in customizing your night guard. We start by taking a dental mold of your bite. Specialty artisans use several types of resin to create a blend of materials for your night guard that will be strong and durable. During a final fitting in our office, we hand trim your night guard for a perfect fit.
At Lisa Konz Dental Care we consider a quality, custom fit essential for each dental night guard we make. If your night guard fits comfortably you are more likely to wear it and protect your teeth. A night guard that fits well will wear better and last longer, too.
Bruxism affects 30 to 40 million adults and children but you may not know you are clenching and grinding your teeth if it happens when you are sleeping. If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, you may be experiencing symptoms related to bruxism and a custom night guard may help you avoid further pain and damage.
If you suffer from clenching and grinding your teeth, we can help relieve your pain with a custom dental night guard. Give us a call at (847) 367-3050 to schedule a consultation or appointment. We look forward to hearing from you.
