Why Choose Westgrove Dental Care for Occlusal Splints
Lasting Pain Relief Without Medication
An occlusal splint addresses the root cause of your TMJ pain -- not just the symptoms. By guiding your jaw into proper alignment, it reduces muscle strain, eases joint pressure, and provides relief that painkillers alone cannot.
Reduced Clenching and Grinding
Your custom splint creates a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, interrupting the clenching cycle that damages teeth and overworks your jaw muscles. Many patients notice improvement within the first week.
Fewer Headaches and Less Neck Tension
TMJ dysfunction often triggers tension headaches, earaches, and neck stiffness. By restoring proper jaw alignment, your splint can reduce or eliminate these connected symptoms so your whole body feels better.
Eat and Speak Comfortably Again
Jaw clicking, locking, and pain can make everyday activities miserable. A properly fitted splint supports smooth jaw movement, so you can enjoy meals and conversations without worrying about discomfort.
What to Expect
We make the process simple and stress-free from start to finish.
Comprehensive TMJ Evaluation
We start with a thorough assessment of your jaw joints, bite alignment, and muscle tension. We listen carefully to your symptoms -- pain patterns, clicking, locking -- so we can pinpoint exactly what's causing your discomfort.
Custom Splint Design
Using precise impressions of your teeth, we design a splint tailored to your unique bite. Every detail is considered to ensure your jaw sits in its most relaxed, natural position when you wear it.
Fitting and Fine-Tuning
When your splint is ready, we carefully adjust it in the chair to make sure it fits comfortably and positions your jaw correctly. We take as much time as you need -- no rushing.
Follow-Up and Progress Check
We schedule a follow-up to see how your symptoms are responding and make any adjustments to optimize your comfort. Our goal is measurable improvement, and we stay with you until you feel the difference.
