Night Guards

Night guards are a valuable dental solution for individuals who suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding. We recognize the significance of night guards in safeguarding your oral health and are happy to offer these appliances at our office.

Understanding Night Guards

Night guards, also known as occlusal splints or bite splints, are custom-fitted oral appliances designed to be worn during sleep. They provide a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing them from coming into contact and grinding.

The Significance of Night Guards

• Preventing Tooth Damage: Teeth grinding can lead to worn enamel, fractures and even tooth loss. Night guards act as a buffer, reducing the risk of these issues.
• Alleviating Discomfort: Bruxism often causes jaw pain, headaches and muscle tension. Night guards help mitigate these symptoms.

Benefits of Night Guards

• Preserved Tooth Health: Night guards protect teeth from damage, preserving their health and function.
• Improved Sleep Quality: By reducing the noise associated with grinding and alleviating discomfort, night guards can lead to better sleep.
• Cost Savings: Investing in a night guard can prevent the need for costly restorative dental work.
