Protect Your Teeth and Jaw While You Sleep
If you wake up with jaw soreness, headaches, or tooth sensitivity, nighttime grinding or clenching—also called bruxism—may be the cause. A custom night guard can protect your teeth, relieve discomfort, and improve your overall sleep quality.
At Young Dental Care, we create night guards that are comfortable, durable, and designed to fit your unique smile. Unlike store-bought options, a custom night guard offers precise protection and superior comfort, helping you prevent long-term damage to your teeth and jaw.
Signs You Might Benefit From a Night Guard
A night guard may be recommended if you experience:
- Morning jaw pain or tightness
- Frequent headaches
- Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Jaw clicking or popping
- Interrupted sleep or feeling unrested
Even if you don’t notice grinding, your dentist can often detect the signs during a routine exam and recommend the best solution.
How a Night Guard Helps Protect Your Smile
Bruxism can wear down enamel, damage dental work, and strain jaw muscles over time. A custom night guard provides a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping to:
- Absorb pressure from grinding and clenching
- Prevent tooth-to-tooth contact
- Reduce wear on crowns, fillings, and natural teeth
- Ease jaw tension and decrease headaches
Wearing your night guard consistently can safeguard your smile while helping you wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free.
Getting Your Custom Night Guard
Our process is simple and efficient. From your first visit to receiving your custom night guard, every step is designed to be straightforward, comfortable, and personalized to your needs. We make sure you understand each step and feel confident about your treatment plan.
Dental Exam
We evaluate your teeth and jaw to confirm that a night guard is right for you. This also helps identify any underlying issues that could affect your bite or jaw alignment.
Impressions or Scans
Digital scans or traditional impressions ensure a perfect fit. These detailed records allow us to create a guard that is precise, comfortable, and effective.
Fitting & Adjustment
Once your night guard is ready, we check the fit and make any necessary tweaks. We also show you how to wear it correctly and answer any questions about comfort.
Nightly Use & Care
Wear it every night and maintain it by rinsing, cleaning, and storing it properly to prolong its lifespan. Proper care ensures your night guard remains hygienic and fully protective over time.
