Dental Splints

Dental Splints to Protect Your Teeth and Jaw Comfort

Dental splints are commonly used to protect teeth from damage caused by grinding, clenching, or jaw tension. At MySolutions Dental Clinic, we provide patients with dental splints in Crows Nest as part of a personalised approach to managing bite-related concerns and supporting long-term oral health.

A dental splint treatment is carefully planned to suit your individual needs, which means a thorough consultation with a dentist should be done before getting one.

Understanding Dental Splint Treatment

Dental splint treatment is often recommended for patients who experience teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw discomfort, headaches, or excessive tooth wear. These appliances are designed to fit comfortably over the teeth and act as a protective barrier, reducing pressure and preventing further damage.

During your consultation, our dentist will assess your bite, symptoms, and oral health to determine whether a dental splint procedure is suitable for you.

Types of Dental Splints We Offer

Different dental splint types are used to manage different concerns. Based on your bite, symptoms, and oral health, your dentist may recommend one of the following options as part of your dental splint treatment:

Occlusal splints
Help manage bruxism and TMJ concerns by redistributing bite forces

Anterior splints
These prevent tooth-to-tooth contact during sleep, typically used for night-time grinding.

Michigan splints
A specialised occlusal splint commonly used for more complex jaw concerns.

Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS)
Designed to help manage obstructive sleep apnoea.

Corrective bite (CR) splints
Used when jaw discomfort is linked to bite alignment by making it more stable.

Your dentist will assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate dental splint procedure to support comfort and long-term oral health.

What to Expect During the Dental Splint Procedure

The dental splint procedure begins with a detailed examination and impressions of your teeth to ensure a precise, comfortable fit. Once fabricated, your splint is adjusted to sit securely and function effectively.

Your dentist will also explain how and when to wear it, along with care instructions to maintain its effectiveness. Follow-up visits may be recommended to monitor fit and make adjustments as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a dental splint?

The dental implant process typically involves a healing period to allow the implant to integrate securely with the bone. Your dentist will outline a personalised timeline based on your needs.

Your dentist will discuss options to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Aftercare instructions are provided to support a smooth recovery.

Suitability depends on bone health, gum condition, and individual oral health needs. A comprehensive assessment helps determine the best approach.

Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups help maintain the implant and surrounding tissues for long-term function.
