What are Dental Night Guards:
Dental Night Guards: Comfort and Protection for Your Smile
A night guard is a thin, custom-made dental appliance designed to fit your teeth comfortably. It helps:
Prevent damage from teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching during sleep.
Alleviate jaw tension, reducing morning headaches and facial pain.
Protect dental restorations like crowns, fillings, and veneers from wear.
Improve sleep quality by relaxing the jaw and reducing discomfort.
Types of Dental Night Guards:
Soft Night Guard: Best for mild grinding or clenching; very comfortable.
Hybrid Night Guard: Soft inside, harder outside; great for moderate grinding.
Hard Night Guard: Durable option for heavy grinders or people with TMJ symptoms.
How Many Visits Do You Need
Usually 2 visits:
1st visit: exam + scan
2nd visit: night guard delivery (about 1–2 weeks later)
Visit Duration:
1st visit: 20–30 minutes
2nd visit: 10–15 minutes
