Night Guard
A night guard is a custom-made dental appliance designed to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching while you sleep. Many people grind their teeth at night without realizing it, leading to tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and other dental issues. A night guard provides a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage and promoting better sleep.
Our night guards are crafted from high-quality, durable materials to ensure comfort and effectiveness. They are custom-fitted to your mouth, ensuring that they stay in place throughout the night while allowing you to breathe and speak comfortably.
Benefits of Using a Night Guard
Using a night guard can significantly reduce the risks associated with bruxism. It protects your teeth from excessive wear, helps alleviate jaw pain, and can even prevent more severe conditions such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Additionally, wearing a night guard can improve the quality of your sleep by reducing the tension and stress caused by grinding and clenching.

Getting a night guard is a simple process. During your visit, we will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fitted night guard that matches the contours of your mouth. Once your night guard is ready, we will ensure it fits perfectly and provide instructions on how to care for it.
To maintain your night guard, it's important to clean it regularly with a toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material. Store your night guard in its case when not in use, and bring it to your dental check-ups so we can ensure it remains in good condition.
