Boston Bruxism Treatment
Protect your teeth from clenching & grinding—and wake up with less jaw tension.
- Custom night guards designed for your bite
- Helps reduce wear on teeth, crowns, veneers, and fillings
- Screening for bite, TMJ stress, and sleep-related triggers when appropriate
Grinding or clenching your teeth (bruxism) can slowly wear down enamel, chip teeth, and contribute to headaches or jaw pain. Many patients don’t realize it’s happening until they notice sensitivity, flattening, or morning soreness.
At Beacon Place Dental Group, we help patients limit damage and feel relief with customized solutions—often starting with a comfortable night guard designed specifically for your bite. If you’re in Boston, MA and suspect teeth grinding, we’re here to help.
Stop Ongoing Wear
Bruxism can shorten the life of your teeth and dental work. Treating it early can prevent chips, fractures, and the need for more extensive restorative procedures later.
Relieve Jaw Tension
Clenching puts stress on the jaw joints and muscles. Addressing bruxism can help reduce morning jaw tightness, facial soreness, and tension headaches.
Protect Dental Work
Crowns, veneers, and fillings can be compromised by grinding forces. A properly fitted guard helps protect both natural teeth and existing restorations.

Common Signs of Bruxism:
Flattened or Worn Teeth
Worn enamel from teeth grinding
Grinding can flatten biting surfaces and thin enamel, increasing sensitivity and making teeth more prone to chipping.
Chips, Cracks, or Broken Fillings
Chipped tooth from grinding
Excessive bite forces can damage natural teeth and dental restorations. Small chips can become larger fractures over time.
Jaw Pain, Headaches, or TMJ Symptoms
Bruxism strains the jaw muscles and joints—often contributing to morning headaches, facial soreness, clicking, or limited opening.
Night Guard for Bruxism in Boston
Beacon Place Dental Group
Night Guards Are Impressively Protective
One of the most reliable ways to prevent damage from bruxism is a custom-made night guard. It creates a protective barrier between your teeth and helps reduce excessive grinding forces while you sleep.
Several factors can affect how severe bruxism is and which solution is best, including:
Stress & Sleep Quality
Stress is a common trigger for clenching and grinding. Improving sleep habits and identifying triggers can reduce symptoms.
Your Bite & Tooth Alignment
Certain bite patterns can increase grinding forces. In select cases, bite adjustments or orthodontic options can help.
Existing Wear or Restorations
If teeth are already worn down or you have crowns/veneers, protection is especially important to prevent fractures and reduce future dental work.
