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. Khurana has been our Family Dentist for many years. Dr. Khurana and all of the people in his office do outstanding work and have treated my family members well Dr.Khurana has the latest technology that he uses to clearly show and explain any dental issues. For instance, they take pictures of your teeth and display them on the screen, so you can better understand any issues or teeth that he is watching. In my case I have had many crowns, but they have never been a surprise. The crowns were needed on teeth that we have been watching a number of years and then the cracks became more pronounced or the large old silver filling degraded. They explain the costs to you upfront (given your insurance) very clearly, so there are no surprises.
Outstanding dental practice all around! Dr. Khurana is amazing - very professional and highly skilled, and his staff members make patients feel welcome and appreciated. I highly recommend Dentistry of Bellevue!
I am so pleased with my visit here! All my needs were taken care of for a reasonable price, and my teeth were so thoroughly cleaned by Quincy (I think that was her name. Also, the staff looks very sharp in their matching uniforms. They seem to take pride in their work and everyone was very kind and respectful.
Great office!!!! I love the staff, very warm welcoming environment. Great quality dental work.
I recently had a root canal at Dentistry of Bellevue. I do not like going to the dentist, not even to get my teeth cleaned. Dr. Khurana and the team were great! They talked me through the procedure. They made sure I was comfortable and wasn't in any pain. This meant so much. Past dental experiences with other dentists had left me hating going to the dentist. They even followed up with me later to make sure I was doing okay! I am so happy I found them. Anyone who is looking for a new dentist YOU FOUND HIM!
To be home at my office with such an amazing team is the best gift I could ever have!!! Thank you to my extended family!!
Top notch service, friendly environment, operates on time. I highly recommend them. I'm actually reluctant to give them such a glowing review, though it's deserved, because I selfishly don't want them to get too busy.
