Occlusal Splints

People who grind and clench their teeth can sometimes develop a serious condition with their jaw called temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Clenching and grinding can also cause excessive wear of teeth.

Some treatments for TMD include muscle relaxants, specific exercises or wearing a small plastic appliance (occlusal splint) in the mouth during sleep.

An occlusal splint is a slim hard acrylic guard fitted to an individual’s upper or lower jaw and covers the biting surface of their upper teeth. Worn at night, an occlusal splint intends to help guide the jaw into a neutral position to relieve pressure applied to teeth and jaws. Further, an occlusal splint is also effective in reducing further wear of the teeth.

In some cases, occlusal splint therapy is insufficient in treating TMD, and a referral to a TMJ or pain specialist can be arranged.

    Temporary Closure

    Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government has placed dentistry on high level restrictions.

    We have therefore made the difficult decision to suspend practice at City Beach Dental Centre for the near future.

    If you are an existing patient of the practice and have a genuine dental emergency, please call 93858538 and you will be directed to either Tony or Kate. They will triage you, provide advice and arrange treatment as appropriate.

    Please be aware that treatment options are very limited at this time and we will always endeavour to do our best for you.

    Thank you for all your support over the years and look after yourselves during this difficult time.
