Night Guards
A custom-fitted night guard protects your teeth from the wear and damage caused by nighttime grinding and clenching.
What Is Night Guards?
A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance worn while you sleep to protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and clenching. Unlike one-size-fits-all guards from a store, a custom-fitted guard is molded specifically to your bite for a secure, comfortable fit that actually protects your teeth night after night.

Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth to create a night guard custom-molded to your bite. Once ready, we'll check the fit to make sure it's comfortable and positioned correctly before you start wearing it nightly.
