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.

Wonderful and friendly staff. I have been seeing Dr. Robert Uhde for over 20 years and have referred him to family and friends. Wonderful dentist.
Love the admin staff! Always patient with me regarding scheduling and insurance, they explain my benefits very well. Hygenists and Dr. Khurana are amazing - empathetic and gentle. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Great service every visit I have. I’ve been coming here for about three years and I’ve had a great experience with the staff and Dr Khurana.
Been going here for a few years now. They have a higher tech experience then I was used to previously and even after not getting my teeth cleaned for several years were awesome, nice, non-judgemental people.
They clean your teeth, and are willing to take the time to explain the xray images, billing, and give out lots of toothbrush kits. Whole family been going here for years.
The service here was excellent~. I came in one day with tooth pains and no insurance, and over the course of the day they helped me set up membership, set up my plan, took x rays, and got a cleaning and six fillings done~. Everyone is so nice and positive, and I'd defs recommend using them if you're in the area~
After all struggle, I landed on a safe place and got it done very smoothly. I would definitely recommend ??
Super nice staff, great at accommodating your schedule with theirs, would highly recommend.

Long time experience with Dr. P and now under Dr. K using best practices and knowledgeable staff
