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.
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.
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.

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.
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!!
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.

I am a patient at Dentistry of Bellevue and I’ve always been having great experiences here. The nurses and doctors demonstrated their awesome expertise. I also brought my mom in for wisdom tooth surgery extraction and that was done smoothly and fast. I’d recommend this clinic to others
I've been a patient since 1992. I was a little worried when Dr. Peterson sold the practice several years ago, but soon discovered he really picked a great guy in Dr. Khurana to take over for him. I've really enjoyed watching the changes with updates to equipment and technology as well as the services they can provide. Dr. Khurana and Dr. Uhde can do amazing things right there in the office. It's rare to need to see anyone outside of the building, even the denturist comes right there. The hygienists have always been very gentle and skilled, and it seems there is very little turn over with employees which is really appreciated. I don't enjoy having to go to the dentist (really who does), but I'm really glad to have the dentists and staff at Dentistry of Bellevue as the people who take care of my dental health. I really recommend their office for anyone looking for a great dental team.
Dentistry of Bellevue is a fantastic dental office. The staff is super friendly and the Doctor explains all treatment plans in detail to make sure you feel very comfortable not only with the procedure but the price as well. I highly recommend this office.
My family has been coming to this office for about 4 years now. We started coming here simply because it was close to home. This was some of the best dumb luck we've had!! Dr. Khurana (Dr K.) is awesome. He is talented and caring, as well as helpful when it comes to working with your insurance. The hygienists and dental assistants are highly competent, and gentle. The front desk staff is friendly, helpful, and know you by name. My family and I will be patients here for years to come!
Always greeted with a friendly smile. Quick, attentive, quality care. My family has been coming here for years and wouldn’t choose anywhere else.
