Correct Problems Before They Lead to Lasting Pain and Damage

When you or a family member suffers from headaches, jaw pain or chronic snoring, your quality of life can be drastically affected. Additionally, for those who are active and regularly play sports, protecting your teeth is of utmost importance.

• Mouth Guard
• Snore Guard

We can help identify the root causes of pain and discomfort, whether it’s teeth grinding, TMJ or teeth that are out of alignment. Once the issue is identified, we can match you with an oral appliance that helps alleviate pain and stop further damage, giving you a better quality of life and smile.

Dental Night Guards

Headaches, tooth pain, and broken or cracked teeth can be a sign of teeth grinding or clenching at night. This is a common condition known as bruxism. Luckily, dental night guards offer an easy solution.

Drs. Umansky and Nikmard will work with you to create a custom night guard fitted specifically to your mouth. This soft and comfortable guard fits over your top or bottom teeth, helping alleviate pain, pressure and damage caused by grinding or clenching your teeth.

Dental night guards are also helpful in the treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (also known as TMJ or TMD). These disorders can have multiple causes, including:

• Bruxism
• Arthritis
• Dislocation of the disc within the joint
• Injury to the jaw

TMJ Symptoms

TMJ disorders can be quite painful. If you are suffering from any of the following symptoms, you should be evaluated by a dentist for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ or TMD):

• Pain when chewing, speaking or yawning (especially felt in your face, jaw, neck or shoulders)
• Clicking and popping in the jaw joint
• Difficulty chewing, swallowing or speaking
• “Locking” of the jaw
• Swelling or fatigue in the jaw

Please give us a call at 281-446-4700 if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. Our team at Aesthetic Dentistry Associates will be happy to schedule a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of the symptoms and best course of intervention.
