Dental Splints in Tenerife
Whether it’s at night to combat bruxism or to prevent injury while playing sports, our customised dental splints improve oral function and protect the aesthetics of your smile.
Designed to fit the patient’s mouth perfectly, these splints are made from durable and safe materials, such as acrylic and silicone, providing a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth.
What dental problems can be treated with dental splints in Tenerife by SJD Dentistas?
Bruxism: Discharge splints are used to treat bruxism, a condition in which people unconsciously clench or grind their teeth.
Tooth wear: Splints can protect teeth from abrasion and excessive wear.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain: Splints can relieve pain in the temporomandibular joint by reducing stress on the area.
Sleep apnoea: Oral splints can help treat mild to moderate sleep apnoea.
Misaligned bite: Splints can help correct mild to moderate bite problems.
It is important to note that it is always advisable to consult a dentist to assess whether the use of splints is appropriate for each individual case.
Silicone: Known for its comfort and flexibility, silicone is often used in sports splints and some offloading splints. Its ability to absorb impact and conform to the shape of the mouth provides unmatched protection and comfort.
Biocompatible polymers: For alignment splints and those used in TMJ treatment, we use advanced polymers that are lightweight, clear and extremely comfortable for extended wear.
Each splint is customised from an exact mould of the patient’s mouth, guaranteeing a perfect fit and optimal functionality. Our specialists review every detail to ensure that the splint meets the specific treatment requirements and needs of the patient.
We are committed to using safe and sustainable materials, providing products that are safe for our patients and the planet.
Relieving splints prevent bruxism or nighttime teeth grinding, protecting tooth enamel from premature wear.
By reducing pressure on the jaw, splints help prevent or relieve symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, improving jaw function and reducing pain.
Alignment splints correct the position of teeth, which can improve bite and chewing efficiency.
By preventing nocturnal bruxism or nighttime grinding, our splints help patients enjoy a more restful, undisturbed sleep.
Based on this assessment, our specialists recommend the most appropriate type of splint that fits not only the patient’s specific needs but also their lifestyle.
We use advanced technology to take accurate impressions of the patient’s mouth, ensuring that the splint fits perfectly without causing discomfort or irritation.
Before finalising the splint, we carry out fit tests to make fine adjustments, ensuring maximum comfort and functionality. We provide information on the expected durability of the splint and best practices for care and maintenance.
Use cleaning solutions specifically designed for dental splints. These solutions help remove bacteria and keep the splint clean without compromising the material.
Store the splint in a ventilated case when not in use. This protects the splint and prevents moisture build-up, which can encourage bacterial growth.
Do not expose the splint to high temperatures, such as boiling water or direct sunlight, as this may deform the material.
Bring the splint to regular dental visits to allow a professional to inspect it for signs of wear or damage. This is important to ensure that the splint remains effective and comfortable to wear.
Replace the splint when it shows signs of deterioration or when recommended by the dentist. This ensures that you always have adequate protection and support.
Avoid chewing or adjusting the splint with your teeth, as this can cause premature wear.
Maintain good oral hygiene and wear the splint only on clean teeth to avoid transferring plaque and debris to the splint.
