About Night Guards
Why Night Guards Are Important
Many people clench or grind their teeth while they sleep, a condition known as bruxism. This habit often goes unnoticed until symptoms develop, such as jaw soreness, headaches, worn teeth or sensitivity. Over time, untreated bruxism can lead to cracked teeth, gum recession or damage to dental restorations.Our dentists may recommend a night guard if you experience:
- Frequent jaw or facial pain upon waking
- Headaches or earaches with no clear cause
- Chipped or flattened teeth
- Unexplained tooth sensitivity
- Difficulty opening or closing the jaw
By creating a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, a night guard helps absorb pressure and reduce wear.
Comfortable, Custom-Fit Protection
We design night guards that are specifically made to fit your bite. Using precise impressions of your teeth, we fabricate guards that stay in place comfortably throughout the night and do not interfere with breathing or sleep quality.Benefits of a professionally made night guard include:
- Reduced tooth damage from grinding
