This patient from Campbell had not seen a dentist regularly. Then, one night he chipped his front tooth and saw us for an emergency exam.
After asking some questions, the patient shared with Dr. Lin that he clenches his teeth at night and that when he wakes up he has sore jaw muscles. After choosing a tooth-colored filling to match his natural tooth, Dr. Lin proceeded to fix the chip with dental bonding and blended the tooth-colored filling.

To help prevent further wear on his teeth and to protect them from bruxism, Dr. Lin made the patient a custom occlusal guard for a comfortable fit, unlike the bulky and oversized nightguards. If you think you could benefit from dental bonding in Los Gatos or a custom occlusal guard, we invite you to reach out to James Lin, DMD today.
