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’m a new patient and I needed emergency fix while my dentist couldn’t take me sooner. I called Dentistry of Bellevue and they took care of me immediately. Every one in here is very nice and friendly. I highly recommended this place. Thank you!
EXCELLENT DENTAL OFFICE! DR. is VERY VERY GOOD! TRY THEM! YOU'LL LIKE THEM! I have been coming to this dental office for 20 years. DR. KHURANA is extremely nice, compassionate and you will get the BEST care. The hygienist and assistants are very friendly and helpful also. The front desk staff is also very helpful and do a great job! This office is 1st class all the way! If I moved away, I would drive out of my way to stick with my dentist and his staff!
Professional, friendly and thank you! Thank you for taking great care of my teeth; answering my questions and keeping me informed should I need work done. Good communication and care means a lot. Very Grateful!!!
Minor discomfort is an excellent opportunity to cultivate zen- this exercise is in very few places more potent than a dentist's chair. That said, they did a wonderful job, and I can smile again!
I have been here all the years-being. I have lots of dental problems and I’m always worried about seeing doctors. This is the first place makes me feel easy and want to come back again. The doctors got my problems fixed step by step with detailed instructions and explanations. Feel Wonderful after every each treatment!
I was introduced to Dr K by Audra and i just love him and his practice. I had been nervous about my 12 year old getting 4 teeth extracted all at once. But Dr K and his staff made it all so easy, they calmed and reassured me all would be well. They did a fantastic job and followed up almost immediately to make sure our Kosy was well. Thank you Dr K!
We have been coming here for a long time. Everyone here is great and helpful, and we are very appreciative of everything they have done for us. We have recommeneded them to many people over the years who have been looking for a great dentist.
