Nightguards
If you clench or grind your teeth, particularly at night, you may suffer from a condition called bruxism. Even though your teeth are very strong, they will eventually wear down under the added pressure.
We can provide you with a custom-made night guard that will act as a barrier between the two rows of teeth. That way, when you bite down at night, you will simply bite into the night guard instead of your teeth. You can protect your jaw, gums, and teeth while you sleep. Rely on our team to provide you with a customized nightguard to meet your needs.
Retainers
You have spent a lot of time and energy moving your teeth into the right position. Now, it is important to keep them there with a retainer.
A retainer is a customized oral dental appliance that helps you hold your teeth in place. You do not necessarily need to wear it all the time, but you should probably wear it at night. Our team can customize a retainer to meet your needs. We will let you know exactly what you need to do to keep your teeth in the right locations.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you may have difficulty sleeping through the night. You might wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air, making it very difficult for you to get the sleep you need. We can help you treat sleep apnea with an innovative oral appliance.
A customized oral appliance developed by our skilled team can keep your airway open in the middle of the night. This means that you probably will not snore as loudly at night, you should not wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air, and you will get the sleep you deserve. Rely on the team from The Dental Office Encino to help you with sleep apnea treatment.
TMJ Therapy
If you suffer from issues with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), you might experience significant jaw pain. This can make it very difficult to speak, chew, and swallow. We can use an oral appliance to help you improve the position of your jaw and protect your temporomandibular joint. A member of our team will work with you to customize this oral appliance to meet your needs. Then, gradually, you should feel your jaw recover.
