Bruxism, which is the grinding, gnashing and clenching of your teeth, is a relatively common problem for children and adults. Because bruxism frequently occurs during sleep, many people do not realize they are suffering from the condition until they damage their teeth.

We offer night guards that protect your teeth from pain and damage, so your teeth are healthy and strong for years to come.

What are symptoms of Bruxism?

• Tooth pain or aching sensation
• Headaches upon waking
• Tight or painful jaw
• Gum irritation or damage
• Temporomandibular joint dysfunction
• Tooth damage such as fracturing, flattening chipping, broken fillings and worn enamel

Bruxism can be the result of a number of different factors. While stress is often a culprit, the behavior may develop due to uneven teeth alignment, certain neuromuscular conditions or diseases, or even specific types of medication. Our team can provide the best line of defense: custom fitting night guards to protect your teeth from damage, pain and the myriad of other side effects. We offer traditional night guards as well as NTI night guards. Unlike traditional night guards, which cover all teeth, the NTI device only covers the front two teeth. By placing pressure on the front teeth, NTI devices should reduce the severity of involuntary jaw contractions.

Whether you opt for a traditional night guard or the NTI, our team will design a device to safely and comfortably accommodate your bite and needs.

Periodontal care, also called gum care, is often disregarded, but it’s crucial for overall dental and oral health. Whether you’re in need of general periodontal care consultation, or treatment for a more serious condition like gum disease, Dr. Cakmes will identify your specific needs and work with you to ensure the health and vitality of your gums.

We offer the essential care your gums need to support healthy, strong teeth.

Our periodontal care services include:

• Periodontitis treatment
• Gingivitis treatment
• Bacterial infection treatment
• Inflammation care

Gum health and bone health go hand in hand. As with many dental concerns, periodontal problems should be identified quickly. If ignored, infections can cause serious damage to gum tissues and ultimately be destructive to teeth. When periodontal issues go untreated, bacteria begin to attack bone tissue, causing teeth to loosen from the gums and potentially develop craters or deteriorate. In severe cases, tooth and jawbone loss is a major concern.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive periodontal care to prevent bone loss. Dr. Cakmes is known for his commitment to oral health and gentle approach, and understands the importance of healthy gums.
