    • I've never enjoyed going to the dentist and have neglected going for years until a large chip of my tooth came out. I didn't have insurance and was desperate. Colleen took my call and scheduled me in the next morning. I was super nervous getting in but Edward and Katy answered all my questions during x-ray and helped me calm down a bit. When I finally got into the dreaded chair Traci was a rockstar and knew the assignment; checking in on me the entire time and made sure my saliva didn't consume me. Once Dr. Khurana got in there he worked his magic and was careful not to go too far with the drilling and got me out in no time. I'm so thankful for this amazing team and for their care that I just wish my past experiences were as easy and satisfying as this one.
      The pricing was very reasonable as well! Considering that I didn't have insurance, had I known about their membership plan I would not have waited for an emergency to come up for me to finally make a trip to the dentist. I probably would've saved a lot more in the long run by addressing things sooner and taking advantage of their plan... lesson learned. Thanks again to Dentistry of Bellevue team!!

    • Dr.k was incredible as was the staff they got me in immediately after I called with tooth pain and had a root canal done and they worked with me as I didn’t have insurance I would highly recommend coming in and seeing what they can do for you.

    • All the staff is amazing, they do their best to help me schedule my appointments, and work well with the insurance company. I really like their new offices. I managed to convince my wife and kids to move to Dentistry of Bellevue. They are also happy so far.

    Bruxism/Grinding

    What’s that pain you’ve been having in your jaw, your ear, your face, your head? It very likely might be Bruxism, grinding your teeth often in your sleep when you are not aware of it. We can address this problem and resolve the discomfort and pain it causes you. We are trained in treating bruxism.

    What is Bruxism?

    Bruxism is the act of consciously or unconsciously clenching or grinding your teeth either during the day or while you sleep. Bruxism is considered both a medical and a dental problem. This is because it affects both the teeth and all of the structure near it, including the head.

    Effects of Bruxism

    People grind their teeth for a variety of reasons. Doctors believe that it is because of stress. Dentists say that it happens because one’s teeth are not properly aligned with each other. Whatever the cause treatment should not be delayed. Teeth grinding may not seem to be a major health issue but can lead to problems such as broken, chipped or worn teeth; broken dentures; headaches and migraines; ear ringing; sore jaw joints (TMJ); dizziness; and sore head, neck and shoulder muscles.

    Indications of Bruxism

    • Intense clenching of teeth, sometimes forceful enough to wake you up
    • Flattened, worn down, and chipped teeth
    • Worn tooth enamel
    • Sensitive teeth (jolts of pain from cold or hot foods and beverages or bristles of a toothbrush)
    • Pain and tightness in the jaws and surrounding muscles
    • Ear aches and/or ear ringing
    • Headaches and/or migraines
    • Sore Jaw Joints
    • Muscle pain in face, neck or shoulders

    Treatment for Bruxism

    You will be fitted by our dentist with custom Mouth Guards to prevent you from grinding and clenching your teeth. Night mouth guards are bite pads that are worn at night as you sleep. These guards are made of high-grade plastic and should fit the teeth or mouth perfectly. This device keeps the upper teeth from grinding with the lower teeth, offering an instant solution to teeth clenching problems.
