Waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth may feel routine—but it doesn’t have to be. At The Hills Dental Spa, we offer bruxism treatment that addresses more than just the symptom. We focus on the root cause, combining advanced diagnostics with personalized care to help you sleep better, live more comfortably, and wake up without tension.
This is not just about stopping the grinding. It’s about restoring calm to your body and your bite.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, most commonly during sleep. Left untreated, it can lead to:
- Worn or fractured teeth
- Jaw soreness or tightness
- Facial pain and morning headaches
- Disrupted sleep for you or your partner
- Long-term bite imbalances or TMJ dysfunction
Many people with bruxism don’t realize it’s happening—until the effects begin to interfere with their day-to-day life.
How We Treat It
Our approach to bruxism treatment is customized and may include:
- Custom night guards that protect teeth and relieve muscle strain
- Neuromuscular analysis to assess and rebalance bite alignment
- TMJ Therapy if joint dysfunction is contributing to grinding
- Lifestyle or posture recommendations based on detailed evaluation
Treatment begins with a conversation and a comprehensive evaluation. From there, we create a plan that supports long-term comfort and stability.
We offer bruxism treatment to patients in Austin, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Lost Creek, and Lakeway, TX, helping individuals who are tired of waking up with tension and ready for relief that lasts.
Your care is led by Dr. Kevin Winters, whose experience in both cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry ensures your solution is not only functional, but also protective of your overall oral health.

What causes bruxism?
Bruxism may be triggered by stress, sleep disorders, bite imbalances, or TMJ dysfunction. A full evaluation helps us identify the underlying cause.
Can bruxism go away on its own?
Mild cases may improve with stress management, but ongoing bruxism typically requires treatment to prevent long-term damage.
Is a night guard enough to treat bruxism?
Night guards protect teeth, but they may not address deeper causes like joint imbalance or bite issues. We tailor treatment to the full picture.
How do I know if I grind my teeth at night?
Signs include morning jaw pain, worn teeth, tension headaches, or disrupted sleep. A professional exam can confirm the presence and severity of bruxism.
