Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth? You may be suffering from bruxism, a common condition that causes unconscious teeth grinding or clenching, especially during sleep. At Centurion Dental Studio, we offer advanced diagnostic tools and customised treatment options — including Botox therapy — to help relieve symptoms and prevent further damage.

What Is Bruxism?

Bruxism refers to the habitual grinding, gnashing, or clenching of teeth — often without the person even realising it. While it can happen during the day, sleep bruxism is more common and can lead to significant wear on teeth, jaw discomfort, and other oral health issues if left untreated.

What to Expect

What Causes Bruxism?

Bruxism may be linked to factors such as:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Sleep disorders like sleep apnoea
  • Misaligned bite (malocclusion)
  • Lifestyle habits, such as caffeine or alcohol consumption
  • Medication side effects

    How We Treat Teeth Grinding?

    At Centurion Dental Studio, we offer customised treatments to protect your teeth and relieve symptoms:

    • Night Guards (Bite Plates) – Custom-made, comfortable mouth guards worn while you sleep to prevent grinding and clenching.
    • Occlusal Adjustments – Small adjustments to the bite to improve alignment and reduce pressure points.
    • Restorative Treatment – For worn or damaged teeth, we can repair your smile with composite fillings, crowns, or veneers.
    • Botox Injections for Bruxism
      Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a proven treatment for bruxism. When injected into the jaw muscles (typically the masseter), Botox helps relax overactive muscles, reducing clenching and grinding. It provides significant relief from pain and tension without affecting your ability to chew or speak.
    • Stress Management Referrals – When bruxism is stress-related, we may recommend lifestyle changes or work with your healthcare provider.
