All ServicesOcclusal Splints / NTI Splints in Ballarat
Protect your teeth and relieve jaw discomfort while you sleep.
Protect your teeth, reduce jaw strain, and enjoy greater everyday comfort.
Teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and TMJ disorders can cause tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. At Sebastopol Dental, we provide custom-made Occlusal Splints and NTI Splints to protect your teeth, reduce jaw strain, and provide comfortable, long-term relief.
Reduced Teeth Grinding
Custom splints help minimise the effects of grinding and clenching, protecting your teeth from excessive wear.
Jaw Pain Relief
By reducing pressure on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles, splints can ease discomfort associated with TMJ disorders.
Better Sleep Comfort
Night-time splints encourage relaxed jaw positioning, helping many patients wake with less tension and fewer headaches.
Long-Term Tooth Protection
Protect your natural teeth, fillings, crowns, and other restorations from damage caused by excessive biting forces.
Comfortable protection for healthier teeth and a more relaxed jaw.
Occlusal Splints and NTI Splints are custom-made oral appliances designed to reduce the harmful effects of teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and TMJ-related discomfort. They provide a protective barrier between your teeth while encouraging a more balanced jaw position during sleep.
These appliances are commonly recommended for patients experiencing jaw pain, morning headaches, tooth wear, or muscle tension.
Catching a small cavity early means a simple filling. Leaving it means a root canal, or worse, an extraction. Regular care is how you stay in control of your oral health and your costs.
At Sebastopol Dental, every splint is carefully designed using precise digital scans or impressions to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Following a thorough assessment, we'll recommend the most suitable appliance and provide ongoing reviews to ensure it continues to perform effectively.
