Night Guards

Night Guards / Occlusal Guards at Polished Dental

At Polished Dental, we offer custom-designed Night Guards and Occlusal Guards to help protect your teeth and improve your overall oral health. These durable, comfortable devices are designed to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding (bruxism), clenching, and other nighttime dental issues. If you experience jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth, our night guards can provide the relief and protection you need.

What are Night Guards / Occlusal Guards?

Night guards, also known as occlusal guards, are custom-fitted dental appliances that are worn over your teeth while you sleep. These devices act as a protective barrier, absorbing the pressure from teeth grinding and clenching, preventing damage to your teeth and reducing discomfort in the jaw. Unlike over-the-counter solutions, our night guards are individually crafted to ensure a perfect fit and maximum effectiveness.

Benefits of Night Guards / Occlusal Guards:

Protect Your Teeth: Night guards provide a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and tear caused by grinding or clenching. Reduce Jaw Pain & Discomfort: By cushioning the jaw, these devices can help alleviate discomfort associated with bruxism and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Prevent Headaches: Many patients with bruxism experience chronic tension headaches. Night guards can help reduce the frequency and severity of these headaches by relaxing the jaw muscles during sleep.
Improve Sleep Quality: Reducing teeth grinding can improve your overall sleep quality, allowing you to wake up feeling more rested and refreshed. Long-Lasting Protection: Custom night guards are made from durable materials, ensuring long-lasting protection and comfort.

Who Can Benefit from Night Guards / Occlusal Guards?

Night guards are ideal for anyone who:

Grinds or clenches their teeth during sleep (bruxism).
Experiences jaw pain, headaches, or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues.
Has worn or damaged teeth due to excessive grinding.
Wants to protect dental work such as crowns, bridges, and veneers from wear and tear.

How Do Night Guards Work?

Once we evaluate your teeth and discuss your symptoms, we will take precise impressions of your mouth to create a custom night guard that fits perfectly over your teeth. The guard is designed to comfortably cushion the teeth and jaw, minimizing the damage caused by grinding or clenching. Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom night guard provides superior protection and comfort, ensuring the best possible outcome for your dental health.
