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.

I love this office. Great customer service and easy scheduling.
This is my first time ever with a dentist and it was a great experience. I was nervous but it went well. Thank you!

I have been a patient here for a year now. Dr. Khurana and his team is very calming proffesional and friendly. Colleen my hygienist is great. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience. All the employees are very kind and accommodating. Makes going to the dentist less daunting with this office!
I have been a patient of Dr. Khurana's since 2004 though a patient of Denistry of Bellevue many years before he took over the practice. I highly recommend Dr. Khurana and his staff. I have gotten excellent care and he has worked with me on various dental problems that required extra attention. I've had some emergency care needed and he was available in off hours for this. His staff has been excellent with my needed care and checkups and always aware of my special gum sensitivities, which I always appreciate.
Very knowledgable and professional staff members, and Dr. Khurana is superb!
