In Calgary, a bruxism appliance has a base professional fee of $543.90 plus laboratory costs, with the current average value typically ranging between $900 and $1,200.

General dentists in Calgary are qualified to design and fit most dental splints for teeth grinding. Complex cases involving severe jaw misalignment may be referred to an oral specialist.

Common terms for these devices include occlusal splints, bite guards, or bruxism appliances. They are often called periodontal splints when used to stabilize loose teeth.

It is normal and often necessary to wear your splint every night to protect your teeth from the significant pressure caused by nocturnal clenching and grinding. Consistent use helps relax your jaw muscles and prevents long-term damage to your tooth enamel and dental restorations.
