Protect your teeth from grinding while you sleep.
Teeth grinding (bruxism) is more common than most people realize β and many don't even know they do it. Grinding during sleep wears down enamel, chips and cracks teeth, causes jaw pain, morning headaches, and can even damage dental restorations. A custom night guard protects your teeth and gives your jaw muscles a chance to relax.
Unlike generic store-bought guards, our custom-fitted night guards are made from precise impressions of your teeth β ensuring a comfortable, secure fit that you'll actually wear.
We examine your teeth for signs of wear and assess your bite and jaw joint function.
Precise impressions of your upper and lower teeth are taken.
Your custom guard is crafted from durable, dental-grade acrylic over 1β2 weeks.
The guard is fitted and adjusted until it's perfectly comfortable and stable.
We show you how to wear, clean, and store your night guard to maximize its lifespan.
A follow-up ensures the guard is working well and you're sleeping comfortably.
Common signs include worn, flat, or chipped teeth, morning jaw stiffness, headaches, and tooth sensitivity. Your partner may also notice the sound.
Significantly. Store-bought guards are bulky, often ill-fitting, and can actually worsen grinding. Custom guards are made precisely for your mouth.
Rinse with cool water after each use, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, and let it air dry. Store in its case when not in use.
Some children do grind, but we often monitor rather than treat immediately as it can resolve naturally. We'll advise based on the severity.
