3,000 psi of grinding pressure from a bruxing patient is enough to wear down the toughest restorations. Now think about your cosmetic dentistry encountering this impact. Today, there is a new way to protect your patient's esthetic investment: Introducing a new dentist-designed protective device called BruxGuard. For those patients susceptible to teeth grinding, the BruxGuard offers an increased assurance that veneers, crowns and other restorative dental work will remain intact.
"As dental professionals, we take great care in creating the ultimate esthetic smile," said Dr. Joel Benk. "Therefore, it's exceedingly important, especially for bruxing patients, that we provide them with immediate protection. The BruxGuard affords a quick solution that's clinically reliable."
According to the American Dental Association, as many as 95 percent of patients are nighttime teeth grinders. If bruxing patients leave the dentist's office untreated, they could potentially damage their cosmetic work that evening. By fitting the patient with a BruxGuard bite plate following the restorative procedure, the dentist has peace of mind that the adverse effects of bruxing will not affect his/her dentistry.
The dental professional can fit the BruxGuard easily and accurately in less than five minutes, offering bruxing patients same-day protection. The secret of BruxGuard is in its unique, patented combination of plastics that provides the dentist with the ability to create a bite plate that is soft against the teeth but hard at the base to eliminate bite-through, resulting in a safe, comfortable and efficacious solution for bruxers.
"For patients that require expensive cosmetic work due to worn dentition from bruxing, the BruxGuard offers an inexpensive insurance policy," said Mike Lesser, President, Dental Concepts. "Not only does the BruxGuard prevent further damage to the dentition, its quick chairside fit provides a convenient alternative to lab-fabricated devices and immediate protection for the patient."
