Sport Guards & Night Guards
If you suffer from clenching or grinding at night, a special custom-made guard can help to prevent the damage that these unconscious motions cause.
If you play sports, having a custom-made guard is more comfortable and will also absorb more shock, protecting your head and smile should a hard hit come your way.
How does a mouth guard help to prevent concussions?
The soft plastic absorbs the shock that travels through your head, by extent reducing the shock absorbed by your skull.
How common is teeth grinding?
Known as “bruxism”, teeth grinding affects roughly 1 in 10 people. If you are experiencing pain in your jaw joints or earaches, these are common symptoms that may reveal issues related to your TMJ.
Oral Cancer Screening
We provide all patients with a quick, simple, and painless Oral Cancer Screening Exam to determine if there is any need to concern. If we detect any abnormalities, we will refer you to a specialist to receive the care and examination required.
Kaizen Dental donates $5 of each Velscope oral cancer screening to the BC Cancer Foundation.
TMD/TMJ Therapy
Do you find discomfort or pain at your jaw’s joints?
TMJ related jaw pain can be a frustrating and constant source of discomfort for sufferers. Find relief for your TMD with therapy treatments.
What causes TMJ pain?
There are many possibilities: injury to the teeth or jaw, misalignment of the teeth or jaw, teeth grinding, poor posture, stress, arthritis, and gum chewing.
Why is my jaw making popping sounds?
The jaw joint and ear are close together, so if the articular disc of your jaw joint is displaced, you will hear noise when opening and closing or moving your jaw from side to side. If these issues have no pain, and your mouth opens normally, they normally do not require treatment.
Sedation Dentistry
To offer our patients the most comfortable and relaxed experience at the dentist, Kaizen Dental offers oral sedation dentistry. In a sedated treatment, you will remain conscious and awake, though your mouth is anesthetized and you may be given medication to ensure you are relaxed throughout the procedure.
Is sedation safe?
Absolutely, we are fully trained and qualified to administer sedation medication, which is completely safe when administered by qualifies professionals.
