Custom fit.
A night guard is a thin, custom-made shell that sits over your teeth while you sleep. It absorbs the pressure of clenching and grinding before it can wear down enamel, chip restorations, or strain the jaw — protection that lets your teeth and muscles rest.
Ours are made from impressions of your own teeth so the fit is precise, the bite balanced, and the guard barely noticeable once it's in. We size and adjust it in the office; you take it home the same way you'd take home a custom retainer.
When a night guard helps most.
-
i.
You wake with a sore jaw or tight temples.
Quiet signs of clenching overnight — the guard relieves the load before it becomes a daytime headache.
-
ii.
Your teeth are flattening or chipping at the edges.
Grinding wears enamel faster than time does. A guard takes the wear so your teeth don't.
-
iii.
You've invested in veneers, crowns, or bonding.
Cosmetic and restorative work lasts far longer when it isn't ground against night after night.
-
iv.
Your partner hears grinding, or your sleep feels restless.
The first people to notice are usually the ones next to you. Worth bringing up at your next visit.
