A night guard is a piece of dental equipment that is worn while sleeping to protect the teeth from the wear and tear that may occur as a result of grinding or clenching the teeth often. The condition known as "bruxism" refers to excessive teeth grinding and clenching. In most cases, a night guard or bruxism device will cover all of the teeth in a single arch and will have a flat surface below. When a person grinds their teeth or clenches their teeth, the teeth do so against the appliance rather than against the teeth that are opposite them. Because of this, the tooth structure is protected from being worn away. Even if you do not experience any negative consequences as a result of grinding or clenching your teeth, it may not seem to be a major concern to you. The issue is that it has the potential to have a substantial influence on our teeth over time, which may lead to serious wear and tear. Inquire with your hygienist at Aviva Dental in Etobicoke for more information on the most effective method for maintaining the cleanliness of your night guard.
After the abutment has been joined to the anchor and has been healed, a dental crown is then mounted over the abutment. This completes the surgery by giving the crown a natural color and texture. Moreover, dental implants are able to replace the roots of teeth, and they do not need any extra support from the teeth that are next to them in order to work properly.
