Teeth grinding and jaw clenching can do more than disturb your sleep – they can also lead to long-term damage. At Rocky Ridge Dental Associates, we offer custom night guards to help protect your teeth and ease tension in your jaw while you rest. These oral appliances are made to fit comfortably and securely, reducing the impact of nighttime habits that may be harming your oral health.
Many people are unaware they grind their teeth until symptoms appear. You might wake up with headaches, tooth sensitivity or jaw discomfort. Over time, grinding can wear down enamel, cause chips or cracks, and even contribute to issues like TMJ disorder. A properly fitted night guard acts as a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage and promoting better rest.
A Comfortable Solution for Clenching and Grinding
Custom night guards are far more effective than store-bought versions. Our dentists and team create oral appliances that are molded to the exact shape of your teeth and bite, providing a better fit and improved comfort throughout the night. Whether you are dealing with mild clenching or severe grinding, we can help you find a solution that works for your lifestyle.
Benefits of choosing a custom night guard include:
- Reduced tooth wear and enamel damage
- Relief from jaw tension and facial pain
- Lower risk of cracked or chipped teeth
- Improved sleep quality and comfort
- Durable design made to last
Our digital scanning technology also ensures a precise fit without the need for uncomfortable impressions. This means a faster process, a better fit and a more pleasant experience overall.
