Night Guards / Bruxism
If you wake with a sore jaw, headaches, or worn-down teeth, you may be grinding or clenching at night. A custom night guard is a simple, comfortable way to protect your smile.
What it is
Bruxism is the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, often during sleep. Over time it can wear down enamel, chip teeth, and strain the jaw muscles and joints.
A custom night guard is a slim, comfortable appliance made to fit your mouth precisely. It cushions your teeth and lets the muscles relax, protecting your teeth from further wear.
What to expect
- 1
A quick assessment
We check your teeth and jaw for signs of grinding and talk through your symptoms.
- 2
A custom-fit guard
We take a digital scan or impression so your guard fits comfortably and stays put through the night.
- 3
Easy follow-up
We make sure it feels right and adjust if needed, so wearing it becomes second nature.
Your comfort comes first
A custom guard is far more comfortable than a bulky over-the-counter version — it's thin, fitted to your bite, and made just for you. Most patients adjust to it within a few nights.
Common questions
How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Common signs include morning jaw soreness, headaches, tooth sensitivity, worn or chipped teeth, or a partner noticing the sound at night. We can confirm it during an exam.
Is a custom night guard better than a store-bought one?
A custom guard is fitted precisely to your bite, so it's more comfortable, more durable, and more effective at protecting your teeth than a generic boil-and-bite version.
