Custom-fitted nightguards that protect your teeth from grinding and clenching and ease related jaw soreness.
Many people grind or clench their teeth at night without realizing it, a habit called bruxism. Over time it can wear down enamel, chip teeth, crack fillings and crowns, and leave you waking with a sore jaw or headaches.
A custom nightguard is a simple, conservative solution. Unlike bulky over-the-counter options, a guard we make is precisely fitted to your mouth from an impression or digital scan, so it is comfortable, stays in place, and distributes the forces of grinding away from your teeth.
Protecting your teeth with a nightguard is far less expensive than repeatedly repairing the damage that grinding causes. If you have noticed worn or sensitive teeth, jaw tension, or morning headaches, it is worth a conversation.
We also make custom athletic mouthguards to protect smiles during sports.
Patients who grind or clench, who wake with jaw soreness or headaches, or who are noticing worn or sensitive teeth. Anyone investing in crowns or veneers should consider a guard to protect that work.
A nightguard is preventive dentistry at its best: a small, custom appliance that protects years of dental work and your natural teeth.
Some dental plans contribute toward a nightguard. We will check your benefits and review the cost before we make it.
Common signs are worn or flattened teeth, increased sensitivity, jaw tension, and waking with headaches. Often a partner hears it, or we spot the wear at your exam.
Yes. A custom guard fits precisely, is more comfortable, stays in place through the night, and lasts much longer than a boil-and-bite version.
