Ultimate Teeth Protection From Bruxism 

Are you waking up with a sore jaw or persistent headaches? You might be one of the many Australians suffering from bruxism, the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often occurring during sleep.


An occlusal splint (also called a dental night guard) is a removable dental device that acts as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep. These splints absorb the pressure and impact caused by bruxism. 


Made from durable materials, our Toowoomba dentists create fully customised splints that fit comfortably over your teeth.

Benefits of a Custom Night Guard for Teeth Grinding

Prevents Tooth Damage

Relieves Jaw Pain

Reduces Headaches

Improves Sleep Quality

Professional Night Guards Designed for Your Comfort

Not all night guards are created equal. Store-bought night guards are often uncomfortable and offer limited protection. Our splints and dental night guards in Toowoomba are:


  • Individually crafted for a perfect fit
  • Made from high-quality, durable materials 
  • Tailored to your specific dental needs
  • Designed to prevent further damage



Each splint is custom-made to fit your unique dental profile to provide superior comfort and teeth protection caused by night grinding. 


These night guards limit jaw muscle activity during sleep, reducing stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and preventing your teeth from grinding together. This helps protect your enamel and dental work, eases jaw tension, and reduces facial pain and headaches for a better night's sleep.


Signs You May Need a Night Guard

If you experience any of the following symptoms, a custom night guard could be the right solution for you:


  • Jaw pain or stiffness when you wake up
  • Frequent headaches, especially in the morning
  • Worn, chipped, or sensitive teeth
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Feeling tired and unrested, even after a full night of sleep


These are common signs of bruxism and TMJ disorder. With a custom-fitted occlusal splint, you can protect your teeth, relieve pain, and enjoy better sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What are occlusal splints and night guards?

    Occlusal splints and night guards are custom dental devices that protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and clenching. They act as a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, helping relieve pain and prevent wear and tear on your smile.

  • What are bruxism and TMJ?

    Bruxism is when you grind or clench your teeth, usually while sleeping. It can be caused by stress or misaligned teeth and may lead to jaw pain and headaches. TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. It can cause jaw pain, difficulty moving your jaw, and clicking sounds. Many people with bruxism also have TMJ issues because of the extra pressure on the jaw.

  • Are these devices comfortable to wear?

    Definitely! Comfort is super important to us. Our occlusal splints and night guards are custom-made to fit your unique dental structure, so most patients find them easy to wear and quickly adjust to having them in while they sleep.

  • How long should I wear an occlusal splint?

    That depends on your specific dental issue. Some splints are meant for short-term use such as stabilising loose teeth, while others may be necessary for longer periods, especially for conditions like bruxism. Our dentists in Toowoomba will provide personalised guidance based on your situation.

  • Can I eat and drink with a night guard on?

    It’s best to remove your night guard before eating or drinking. Keeping it in during meals can lead to damage, and it’s important to clean it afterwards according to your dentist’s instructions.

  • Is it possible to repair a damaged teeth grinding splint?

    Yes, in most cases, a damaged splint can be repaired or replaced by your dentist. If you notice any wear or damage, it’s important to reach out to them right away to discuss your options.

  • How do I care for my night guard?

    Taking care of your night guard is easy. Rinse it with water before and after use, and clean it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap regularly. When you’re not using it, store it in its protective case to keep it safe and hygienic.

  • How long will my night guard last?

    With proper care, a night guard can last several years. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure it remains effective and comfortable.
