Will grinding teeth at night affect a dental implant

Q. Sadly, I often grind my teeth in the night, according to my partner anyway. I am now in need of a dental implant, and would like to know whether my grinding habits would cause any trouble for an implant?
A. Yes it might but you could consider a night time guard to protect your implant and existing teeth from excessive wear.
