Mouthguards & Nightguards

Nightguards for Teeth Grinding

Many people clench or grind their teeth while they sleep, often without knowing it. Over time, this can wear teeth down, cause chips and cracks, and lead to jaw pain and morning headaches. A custom nightguard is a thin, comfortable appliance that cushions your teeth and takes pressure off your jaw.

Common signs of grinding include:

• Waking up with a sore jaw or headache
• Flattened, worn or chipped teeth
• Tooth sensitivity
• A partner hearing you grind at night

Sports Mouthguards

For football, hockey, basketball, soccer, wrestling and other contact sports, a mouthguard helps prevent broken teeth, cut lips and jaw injuries. Custom guards fit snugly, stay in place, and make it easier to breathe and talk than boil-and-bite versions.

Mouthguard FAQs

Why not just buy one at the store?

Store-bought guards are bulky, often fit poorly, and can fall out. A custom guard is thinner, more comfortable, and offers better protection, so you're more likely to actually wear it.

How long does a nightguard last?

With proper care, a custom nightguard often lasts several years. Bring it to your checkups so we can inspect it.

How do I clean it?

Rinse it after each use, brush it gently with cool water, and store it in its case. Avoid hot water, which can warp it.

Is it covered by insurance?

Some plans cover nightguards for grinding. We'll check your benefits for you.
