We offer custom-fitted night guards as an effective solution for patients who grind their teeth—a condition known as bruxism that can lead to serious dental damage. Our dental team will tailor the night guard to fit your unique bite, helping to protect your teeth and maintain your oral health.
A night guard is a specialized type of mouth guard designed specifically to prevent teeth grinding and clenching during sleep. If our team suspects you are experiencing bruxism, we may recommend a night guard to shield your teeth from damage and help you avoid the harmful effects of this condition.
Many people with bruxism are unaware they have it because the grinding and clenching occur during sleep. However, several common signs may indicate the presence of bruxism
What do Night Guards help with?
- Chronic jaw, facial, or ear pain
- Waking up with a tired or tight feeling in the jaw
- Frequent tension headaches or migraines
- Excessive tooth wear, leading to chipped, flattened, cracked, or worn-down teeth
- Severely worn tooth enamel, exposing the underlying layers of the tooth
- Indentations on the sides of the tongue
- Increased tooth sensitivity
If you recognize any of these symptoms, a custom night guard may be the solution you need. Our night guards are designed to fit comfortably and effectively, allowing you to sleep peacefully while safeguarding your teeth from further damage.
