Night Guards & TMJ Treatment in Naples
Comprehensive TMJ and Bruxism Relief Starts Here
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ) and bruxism (teeth grinding) are common but often overlooked conditions that can lead to persistent jaw pain, headaches, and serious dental damage. At Cameron Dental Studio in Naples, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders and chronic grinding with custom night guards and advanced therapeutic solutions designed to protect your smile and improve your quality of life.
If you’re waking up with jaw tension or experiencing unexplained facial pain, you don’t have to live with the discomfort—we’re here to help.
Understanding TMJ Disorders and Teeth Grinding
The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull, allowing you to speak, chew, and yawn. When this joint is misaligned or overworked due to stress, poor bite alignment, or nighttime teeth grinding, it can lead to a range of symptoms collectively known as TMJ disorders.
Bruxism, the habitual grinding or clenching of teeth (often while asleep), can worsen TMJ symptoms and cause excessive wear on the teeth, chipped enamel, muscle fatigue, and tension headaches. Both conditions are often interconnected and require an integrated treatment approach.
Symptoms That Indicate You Need TMJ Treatment or a Night Guard
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to schedule a consultation at Cameron Dental Studio:
- Jaw pain or tightness, especially in the morning
- Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Worn, flat, or cracked teeth
- Pain while chewing, talking, or yawning
- Tinnitus or ear pressure
- Neck and shoulder soreness
These symptoms can significantly affect your daily comfort and sleep. At our Naples dental office, we work closely with you to identify the root cause and provide personalized care.

What Are Night Guards and How Do They Help?
Night guards, also known as occlusal splints, are transparent appliances worn over the teeth during sleep. These guards prevent your upper and lower teeth from touching, which protects your teeth from the damaging forces of grinding and relieves pressure on the jaw joint.
Benefits of Wearing a Custom Night Guard from Cameron Dental Studio
- Protects tooth enamel from grinding-related wear
- Reduces tension in jaw and facial muscles
- Prevents morning jaw pain, soreness, and stiffness
- Improves sleep by minimizing disruptive clenching
- May reduce headache frequency caused by bruxism
- Stabilizes the bite and supports joint alignment
Our night guards are crafted using digital impressions, ensuring a precise fit, comfortable wear, and maximum effectiveness.
Types of Night Guards We Offer
Depending on the severity of your symptoms, we offer different guard options at our Naples office:
- Soft Night Guards – Ideal for mild grinding, made from flexible materials for light comfort.
- Dual-Laminate Night Guards – A combination of soft interior and durable exterior, recommended for moderate bruxism.
- Hard Acrylic Guards – Durable and suitable for severe grinding or TMJ correction; also used for repositioning the jaw when needed.
We help you choose the right type of guard based on your condition, bite, and lifestyle.
More Than a Guard: Full-Service TMJ Care in Naples
Night guards are a powerful tool, but some patients require additional care for lasting relief. That’s why we offer comprehensive TMJ treatment options at Cameron Dental Studio:
- Occlusal Adjustments – Fine-tuning your bite to reduce strain on your jaw joint.
- Botox® for TMJ – FDA-approved for relaxing the jaw muscles and reducing clenching.
- Stress and Habit Counseling – Addressing lifestyle triggers of grinding and clenching.
- Restorative Dentistry – Repairing cracked or worn teeth caused by bruxism.
- Sleep Apnea Screening – Identifying underlying conditions that may aggravate TMJ.
With our team, you receive holistic care—not just a mouthpiece, but an integrated solution that relieves pain and restores function.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Delaying treatment for bruxism or TMJ can result in:
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Dental crown failure
- Advanced joint damage
- Permanent changes to bite or facial structure
- Chronic pain and poor sleep
At Cameron Dental Studio, early detection and intervention mean fewer complications, lower costs, and faster relief.
