DENTAL SEALANTS

If you or someone else in your family struggles with tooth decay, we may recommend dental sealants. This preventive service provides the chewing surfaces of teeth with protection from the harmful bacteria responsible for cavities. The treatment process doesn’t take long to complete, but it results in effective dental protection for up to ten years. Contact our Ashburn dental office if you’d like to learn more about the benefits of dental sealants.

PROTECTING SMILES FROM TEETH GRINDING WITH CUSTOM-MADE NIGHTGUARDS

Are you one of the many U.S. adults who struggle with teeth grinding or clenching on a daily basis? This condition, known as bruxism, has its roots in stress and causes serious damage to your smile. If it isn’t treated, bruxism increases your odds of experiencing TMJ dysfunction and could result in depression, insomnia, or an eating disorder.

Thankfully, there’s a simple way of treating bruxism and protecting teeth--a custom-made nightguard. A nightguard is an orthodontic appliance designed to be worn during sleep which is when most patients have trouble with bruxism. Wearing your nightguard while you sleep helps manage the condition by preventing further damage to teeth. As a result, you can look forward to experiencing relief from symptoms. We may also discuss dietary changes or relaxation techniques that may be of some help.

If you live in or around Ashburn, VA, and you’re looking for a practice for your preventive dental needs, we hope you’ll give Simply Smiles - Family & Implant Dentistry a call . We’re committed to offering a high level of care to all our patients, regardless of age or lifestyle.
