Night Guards
Do you wake up with a sore jaw, headaches, tooth sensitivity, or signs of worn-down teeth? You may be grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep. This condition, known as bruxism, can place significant pressure on your teeth and jaw over time.
A custom dental night guard can help protect your teeth from the effects of nighttime grinding and clenching. Unlike over-the-counter guards, a custom night guard is designed specifically for your teeth, providing a comfortable, precise fit.
Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep
Regular grinding and clenching can contribute to:
- Worn or damaged teeth
- Chipped or fractured teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Jaw soreness or stiffness
- Morning headaches
- Facial or jaw discomfort
A night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping reduce the direct forces placed on your teeth while you sleep.
Custom-Fitted for Your Comfort
Your dentist can create a night guard based on the unique shape of your teeth and bite. A properly fitted appliance can be more comfortable and secure than a store-bought guard, making it easier to wear consistently.
If you suspect you grind or clench your teeth, our dental team can evaluate your teeth and jaw and determine whether a night guard may be appropriate for you.
