Hours of Operation
Custom-Fit Night Guard
A nightguard is a great way to protect your teeth from the everyday wear and tear.
Most people do some type of grinding in their sleep and will wake up with a sore jaw the next day unaware of what action has taken place throughout the night.
This is destructive for not only the jaw but the teeth. Severe grinders can often break or crack teeth especially teeth with large silver fillings.
Daily grinding often creates places in teeth known as wear facets where the cusps from one tooth dig into the opposing tooth. They also cause fracture lines and chipping of teeth.
If you notice any of these signs of wear you should be evaluated for a custom-fit night guard.
What to Expect at Your Appointment for a Night Guard
At this appointment, impressions will be taken using a digital scanner for accurate results and fit. The guard will take approximately 3 weeks to fabricate.
At the delivery appointment any adjustments will be made and care instructions will be given.
When to Wear a Night Guard
Another question I often get is “Do I only have to wear the guard at night?”
The answer is, no.
A nightguard can actually be worn whenever you notice yourself grinding the most. If that is in rush hour traffic then throw that baby in there (you get my point!)
Essentially, a guard is meant for just that….protection at any time of day.
