If you wake up with jaw soreness, headaches, or notice your teeth looking worn, you might be grinding or clenching your teeth — a condition called bruxism. At Precision Dental Care in Duncanville, we offer personalized solutions to stop the damage, relieve pain, and protect your long-term oral health.
We proudly serve patients in Duncanville, DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Lancaster, Grand Prairie, and nearby communities.
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, most often during sleep. Over time, this habit can lead to:
Many patients don’t realize they have bruxism until their dentist notices the signs. That’s why early diagnosis and treatment are essential.
We’ll ask about your symptoms, examine your teeth and jaw, and use imaging tools to confirm if bruxism is the cause.
If a nightguard is recommended, we’ll take digital impressions and design a device just for you.
You’ll return to pick up your nightguard and we’ll ensure a perfect fit. Follow-ups help us monitor improvements and adjust care if needed.
At Precision Dental Care, our most common and effective treatment for bruxism is a custom-fitted nightguard. This clear oral appliance is worn while you sleep to cushion the teeth, relax the jaw muscles, and prevent long-term damage.
