Protecting Your Smile

Dentist 20613

Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common issue that often occurs at night while patients are asleep. Night guards can help alleviate the symptoms of bruxism by creating a protective barrier between your teeth, preventing grinding-related damage. Depending on the severity of your condition, night guards can be made from various materials with different levels of softness.

To get fitted for a night guard, we will take impressions or digital scans of your teeth and gums to custom-craft a mold, which will then be sent to a lab. Your night guard will be created to match your exact specifications and measurements for a perfect fit. Night guards help ease jaw tension, alleviate painful headaches, and prevent dental damage caused by clenching and grinding. They can keep your smile healthy and help you achieve restful sleep.
