Night guards are an effective solution for patients who experience bruxism, also known as teeth grinding or clenching, during sleep. Many individuals are unaware that they grind their teeth until they begin to notice damage to their teeth or experience discomfort. Bruxism can lead to various oral health problems, including worn enamel, cracked teeth or increased tooth sensitivity. If left untreated, it may also result in jaw pain, headaches and long-term damage to your smile.

Signs of bruxism often include waking up with jaw soreness, facial pain or tension headaches. You might also notice flattened or chipped teeth, indentations on your tongue or increased tooth sensitivity. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, our experienced dentists can evaluate your condition and recommend appropriate treatment.

Custom night guards are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth and protect them from grinding while you sleep. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom night guards are made specifically for your unique bite, ensuring a snug and effective fit. These oral appliances not only safeguard your teeth from further damage but also help alleviate the discomfort associated with bruxism, such as jaw pain and morning headaches.

Using a night guard can significantly improve your oral health and overall wellbeing by preventing unnecessary wear and tear on your teeth. If you suspect you are grinding your teeth at night, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced dental team. We will assess your needs, create a personalized treatment plan and provide you with a high-quality night guard tailored to your bite.
