Night Guards

A night guard, sometimes called a dental mouth guard, is a custom-made appliance that fits over some or all of your teeth. It is usually worn while you sleep to help protect your teeth from the effects of grinding or clenching, also known as bruxism.
A night guard can help to:
-
Reduce tooth wear caused by grinding or clenching
-
Protect teeth from excessive pressure
-
Help manage jaw discomfort associated with teeth grinding
Grinding your teeth can sometimes contribute to discomfort in the jaw, head or neck. A night guard may help protect your teeth, although it may not relieve all symptoms. Your dentist can assess your needs and advise whether a night guard is suitable for you.
We offer both soft and hard night guards to suit your needs.
Speak to a dentist today about how you might benefit from wearing a night guard.
