A custom-built plastic night guard sits over your upper teeth and prevents your upper and lower teeth from coming into contact, lessening the effects of grinding and clenching. It does not stop the habit, but it allows your jaw to rest properly. This helps muscles relax, resulting in improved sleep patterns, too.

Advantages:

• Prevents tooth surface loss, chipping and broken fillings.
• Lessens neuro-muscular tension and pain.
• Can improve sleep and lessen snoring.
• Saves money by reducing tooth damage.

People wear dentures to replace lost or missing teeth so they can enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence. Dentures are made of either acrylic (plastic) or metal. They can be retained on implants in the jaw bone. A 'complete' or 'full' denture is one which replaces all the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. A 'partial' denture fills in the spaces left by lost or missing teeth. It may be fastened to your natural teeth with metal clasps or ‘precision attachments’.

Advantages:

• They will help you to eat comfortably and speak clearly and will improve your confidence and self-esteem.
