Bruxism

Bruxism, also called teeth grinding or clenching, is a condition many people don’t even realise they have. It often happens at night or during stressful times, and over time it can put too much pressure on your teeth and jaw. This may lead to worn or broken teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and even long-term changes to your bite if it isn’t treated.

At our dental clinic in Malta, we take the time to understand how bruxism is affecting you. After a careful check-up, we create a treatment plan that’s right for your needs. This might include a custom night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep, small adjustments to your bite, or restorative care like crowns or veneers to repair any damage. In some cases, if teeth are badly affected, our implant dentist can replace them with strong, natural-looking dental implants.

Bruxism doesn’t just affect your dental health, it can also impact your smile’s appearance. That’s why cosmetic dentistry may be part of your treatment, helping to restore a healthy, confident smile. Our goal is to protect your teeth, ease discomfort, and give you lasting results that improve both comfort and confidence.
