Protect Your Smile with Custom Mouth Guards in Downtown Toronto
Do you ever wake up with a sore jaw, dull headache, or sensitive teeth? If you have noticed subtle changes in your smile, like flatter teeth or changes in your bite, you might need an evaluation for mouth guards in Downtown Toronto.
Unconsciously clenching or grinding your teeth, a condition known as bruxism, can occur during sleep or even during waking hours. Over time, clenching and grinding can cause significant tooth damage. Custom-fitted dental appliances, including specialized night guards and athletic mouth guards in Downtown Toronto, offer protection for your teeth and jaws. 4th Floor Dental provides high-quality, personalized mouth and night guards in Downtown Toronto designed for optimal comfort and performance.
Dr. Emin and his team will craft custom guards to safeguard your smile from the effects of bruxism or potential sports injuries.
Bruxism involves two main actions.
Many people do both without even realizing it. It often occurs more during sleep. While occasional grinding isn’t always harmful, chronic bruxism causes severe complications that can lead to flattened teeth, fractures, and joint problems like temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
Dr. Emin can detect signs of bruxism during your regular check-up, even if you’re unaware of the habit.
Stress is often a factor, but other contributing factors include airway obstruction and sleep issues. Regardless of the cause, the damage is cumulative, meaning that it worsens over time. Even just a few years of grinding and clenching can cause significant wear, cracks, fractures, and pain. Protective night guards in Downtown Toronto are essential if you are affected by bruxism. You can visit 4th Floor Dental for a detailed evaluation and fitting for custom mouth guards in Downtown Toronto.
If Dr. Emin identifies signs of sleep bruxism, a custom-fitted night guard is usually the recommended solution. High-quality night guards in Downtown Toronto are designed to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding and clenching. While they don’t target the cause, they can help you to change the habit. They are durable and offer a cushioning barrier between upper and lower teeth.
Regularly wearing night guards in Downtown Toronto may modify muscle activity over time, making bruxism less intense. Patients with minor or moderate bruxism may find that night guards in Downtown Toronto help to effectively eliminate the condition over time.
What’s the Difference Between Custom Mouth Guards in Downtown Toronto and Over-the-Counter Mouth Guards?
You might be aware of the mouth guards sold in drug stores and online. These are usually basic units that you soften in water and then bite down into to “set” them to your teeth. These guards can provide some cushioning protection but can introduce other problems.
Custom-fitted sleeping mouth guards on Bay Street are significantly more comfortable, eliminating friction and irritation to your gums and soft tissues in the mouth. They are more likely to stay in place all night.
Dr. Emin designs mouth guards on Bay Street to provide optimal thickness for protection. The shape and contours are customized to prevent breathing difficulties.
A mouth guard from your dentist will always outperform a DIY product from a store.
We have hundreds of happy patients who trust us with their health and wellness.
I am very pleased with the care I received today. The staff are kind, helpful and informative. Nicole cleaned my teeth so well today! She got rid of staining and gave me tips on how to keep stains away. She was extremely gentle and calm. Dr. Emin is great with my kids as well and the whole experience was easy.
I love the kind hygienist named Sandra here, she always makes me feel so at home! Dr Emin is amazing too. They fixed my chipped teeth and I can’t believe the difference!
Had my first appointment and my experience was wonderful. Nicole did my cleaning and she did an amazing job. Maria at the front desk is so warm and welcoming. Dr. Emin is very kind and thorough. I already booked my next 6 month check-up. I'm so glad my doctor recommended them to me.
I have been a patient of 4th Floor Dental since they opened. I find everyone to be very friendly and knowledgeable. Was totally impressed when I received a text message, from Dr. Emin, checking up on how my teeth were after my appointment the day before. That was a first for me.
The staff here are absolutely wonderful. Maria on the front desk is so kind, and the techs and dentist take the time to explain everything that’s happening so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Definitely recommend.
If you play sports or engage in another strenuous physical activity that triggers bruxism you might need an athletic mouth guard. These guards are thicker than those used for sleeping, as they provide protection from grinding and impact forces. You can talk to Dr. Emin about your options for a daytime mouth guard based on your unique lifestyle and oral health needs.
