Your Options for Bruxism Treatment
If you live in Chino Hills, California, and suffer from nighttime teeth clenching or grinding, also called bruxism, relief is available from Dr. Uday Shah and the team at Sunny Family Dental. With a nightguard, you can experience fewer negative side effects from bruxism.
What exactly is bruxism, and how can a nightguard help?
What Is Bruxism
Many people have caught themselves clenching their jaw or grinding their teeth. However, people with nighttime bruxism don’t realize that they’re doing it. People who suffer from bruxism usually don’t grind their teeth all night long. However, severe bruxism can cause grinding up to 100 times per night. When this happens nightly, it can have a serious effect on the jaw and teeth.
Here are some of the negative consequences of teeth and jaw clenching.
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues later
- Significant damage to teeth
- Chronic jaw and facial pain
- Severe or chronic headaches
While your dentist can’t cure bruxism, Dr. Shah can provide you with a nightguard that will safely absorb the forces of you grinding your teeth while you’re asleep.
What Are Nightguards for Teeth Clenching?
One of the most effective treatments for bruxism is protective care through a nightguard. Nightguards are made from strong, transparent plastic, designed by a dentist especially to fit your mouth. These devices are super thin and have a precise fit, so there is no discomfort for the wearer.

When you grind your teeth at night, your jaw and teeth experience the powerful vertical forces of grinding and clenching. The nightguard absorbs these forces, giving you relief from the daytime pain that is often associated with nighttime bruxism.
Nightguards are affordable and can save you money because of the potential damage that bruxism can cause to your teeth. When you wear the nightguard, you still breathe and speak normally.

Success Stories
Hi, my name is John Arslane. I’m a new patient for Dr. Shah but I’d like to give you my first impressions. First of all, the technology is unbelievable here. It all started off with registering online, the photography, there’s X-rays, everything is paperless, and I was very, very impressed with the technology and the state of art. More impressive, however, is Dr. Shah himself. He takes the time to talk to you as a person in laymen terms, explains everything, and trains you. I’ve been brushing my teeth for 72 years and I just realized today that I’ve never done it the right way; I learned today from Dr. Shah. So, my first impressions are awesome.
My name is Marlow and this is my very first visit to Dr. Shah’s office. I came in for a tooth whitening and I couldn’t have been more impressed with the staff and all of the new technology. And I found this whole experience to be absolutely amazing and wonderful. I couldn’t believe the nice leather seats and the TV while I was having my cleaning done and I’m actually looking forward to coming back to the dentist.
