Bruxism is the act of consciously or unconsciously clenching or grinding your teeth either during the day or while you sleep. Bruxism is considered both a medical and a dental problem. This is because it affects both the teeth and all of the structure near it, including the head.
People grind their teeth for a variety of reasons. Doctors believe that it is because of stress. Dentists say that it happens because one’s teeth are not properly aligned with each other. Whatever the cause treatment should not be delayed. Teeth grinding may not seem to be a major health issue but can lead to problems such as broken, chipped or worn teeth; broken dentures; headaches and migraines; ear ringing; sore jaw joints (TMJ); dizziness; and sore head, neck and shoulder muscles.
You will be fitted by our dentist with custom Mouth Guards to prevent you from grinding and clenching your teeth. Night mouth guards are bite pads that are worn at night as you sleep. These guards are made of high-grade plastic and should fit the teeth or mouth perfectly. This device keeps the upper teeth from grinding with the lower teeth, offering an instant solution to teeth clenching problems.

Dr. Khan is a wonderful dentist! Very thorough. The quality of care here is beyond any other dentist I have been to.
Hi, my name is Eileen from Chicago and I’ve required extensive dental work, including dental implants. I cannot say enough about Dr. Khan and his staff that have walked me through each procedure and process in such a caring and professional manner. I would highly recommend their services to anyone. Thank you!
This is Chris from Woodsdale, Illinois and I had a dental implant put in my back bottom molar and my experience with Dr. Khan has been wonderful. He knew exactly what I needed to hear, he said the things I needed him to say just to really let me know what was going on with the procedure as well as his experience and certain things that might come up because of the procedure. Also he was very calm and collected and he even met with me one weekend when I was kind of concerned about an issue that I noticed. So he was very willing just to help me with whatever it was I needed at the time so he’s a great doctor and I would recommend him to anyone, especially for dental implants. So, thank you again Dr. Khan and the office staff is wonderful! They’re very welcoming and make it so much a whole new experience so anyone who is interested in getting any kind of dental work done, I would highly recommend Dr. Khan.
Hi, I’m Alexander Sizak from Algonquin, Illinois. I’m one of those if it ain’t broke don’t fix it kind of guys. Well, sometimes teeth need fixing and I needed a filling, a crown replaced, and an implant. I haven’t been to a dentist for at least six years. Once again, if it ain’t broke… Well, I did some research online, I checked out multiple businesses – costs are really important to me as I don’t have any insurance but references and that old gut feeling played a major role in my final decision. As of right now I’m midway through the implant procedure. I’ve had a cleaning and x-rays, a filling and a crown replacement all in the last three months. So far, Dr. Khan and his staff; Paula, Lindsay, Jolene, Heidi – I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone; sorry if I did – have exceeded all expectations. Always friendly, always prepared, and most important to me – always professional. I really hope nothing else breaks but if it does I will not hesitate; I will go back and visit Dr. Khan and his really friendly staff. Thank you very much!
I am, as always, very satisfied with the dental work I have done at Dr. Khan's office. He is an excellent dentist, very caring and professional. I appreciate the good explanation he provides for the dental procedures I have had done. The office staff at a doctor's office reflects so much about the practice in general. Everyone does their part to make a patient feel comfortable. It is a very nice atmosphere; I always think everyone works together in this group. I am a 100% satisfied patient.
VERY GOOD. Great customer service, great staff and most importantly Dr. Khan makes the dental procedure seamless. I had an implant done. Price was reasonable and the implant was success. Also, their schedule is great, allowing for visits on Saturdays and after hours, which is great for people with fixed work schedule.
Dr. Khan installed a dental implant in my jaw a couple of months ago, and I am extremely happy with the work. The procedure was completely pain-free, and the healing process has been going very smoothly. Dr. Khan created a temporary crown to attach to the post while the implant mends with the jawbone, which looks very real, and has been non-intrusive in my daily routine. This has been a huge advantage, as many other practices use a dental flipper, which I expect would not preserve gum structure as well, look less natural, and become an annoyance since it sits within a retainer that must be worn, and has to be taken out to eat. In a month or so, I will get the final crown to replace the temporary I have been wearing, and with the high-quality of work done so far and attention to detail, I expect it will look just like a real tooth. Dr. Khan has also been very helpful and understanding with answering my (many) questions and concerns about the procedure and materials used. Highly recommended!
My name is Alex Ortiz, I had a great experience at Dr. Khan's office. The Staff is very friendly and professional. Knowing nothing about implants it has been a very smooth road ahead, they have explained every step of the process in detail making it very easy for me to understand. I would recommend this office to everybody I know!
I highly recommend Dr. Khan for his professional treatment and placement of permanent teeth in both my upper and lower jaw even though I had Implants done with other Dentist and not being perfect for Dr. Khan to perform. But Dr. Khan and his staff's dedicated and professional work got me a perfect set of teeth and a beautiful smile without any side effects.
I needed an extraction and implant. The office staff is so easy to communicate with and always available to take a call. Dr. Khan's technique and bedside manner are impeccable. He made an invasive procedure painless and education. He even provided his cell phone number in case I needed immediate help. The office is extremely clean and welcoming. I would recommend his services to everyone.
Over my 73 years on this earth I have had quite a few dentists, some of whom were very good and others who were poor to mediocre. Many times their staffs would prove to be the main reason for change. I am the first to admit that I have never taken proper care of my teeth and consequently have created some real problems for dentists to deal with. When I was in need of my first implant I did a lot of research to find a dentist who would provide quality work at a fair price. I basically stumbled upon Dr. Khan during my search and although he was further distant than any dentist I had previously used I gave him a try. Dr. Khan has proven to be one of the best finds in my career. Far and away he is the BEST dentist that I have ever used, Concern for his patient and the quality of his work set Dr.Khan apart from the others in his field. I have been his patient for two years now and my experience with Dr. Khan as well as his entire staff has been nothing short of the best. If you are looking for the consummate dentist and are within reach of Dr. Khan look no further and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
I have had three implants and one bridge completed by Dr Khan. He is prompt, gracious, highly competent and patient. My implants where difficult because of lack of bone. We kept working at it until success was achieved. His staff is friendly and helpful. Any problems after surgery he is reachable by cell phone. I have been to many dentists in my day and he is by far the best!
I initially came to Dr Khan for an implant because he was significantly cheaper than a specialist I had used in my town of Libertyville, IL. I found Dr. Khan was very competent and offered the service of doing both the implant and the crown, something in the past which had required me to visit 2 different doctors. The office was very friendly and everyone was very professional. They were always ready at my scheduled appointment time or earlier so I never had to wait. It was a great experience.
Dr. Khan is a great dentist! He is very knowledgeable, courteous, professional and caring. I had two implants done recently and am very happy with his work! He explained the procedure to me, answered all my questions and did excellent work overall! All the staff in the office is very professional, friendly and helpful! Thank you again: Dr. Khan, Paula, Jen, Jolene and everyone for keeping up great work! I will definitely recommend this practice to anyone who needs any type of dental work.
