Teeth Grinding &
Bruxism Treatment
Grinding your teeth at night? Clenching during the day? Dr. Vartanian stops the damage and breaks the cycle with targeted TMJ therapy and therapeutic Botox in Newport Beach.
The Damage Bruxism Causes —
and How We Restore It
Years of unconscious grinding can devastate your teeth. Here's what bruxism damage looks like — and what's possible with the right treatment.
Stop the Grinding.
Protect Your Teeth.
Bruxism — involuntary teeth grinding and clenching — affects millions of people, often without their knowledge. You may grind in your sleep and only discover it through worn teeth, morning headaches, or jaw pain that won't resolve.
Left untreated, bruxism is destructive. It wears down enamel, cracks teeth, damages existing dental work, and places enormous stress on your TMJ. Over time, the consequences compound: tooth sensitivity, chronic headaches, jaw joint deterioration, and the need for expensive dental restorations.
Dr. Vartanian treats bruxism at its source — not just its symptoms. Custom therapeutic splints redistribute clenching forces and protect your teeth, while Botox for bruxism directly reduces the involuntary muscle contractions driving the grinding. Combined with bite analysis and correction, this comprehensive approach delivers lasting results.
If you suspect you're grinding — or if your dentist has mentioned worn teeth — schedule a bruxism evaluation before more damage occurs.
