Protect Your Teeth from Grinding and Clenching
If you wake up with jaw tension, headaches, worn teeth, or sensitivity, nighttime grinding may be putting excessive pressure on your smile. A custom dental night guard creates a protective barrier between your teeth, helping reduce wear, protect dental work, and relieve strain on your jaw.
At Dentistry at East Piedmont, our night guards are custom-made for comfort, durability, and long-term protection.
Key Benefits of Custom Night Guards:
Protects Against Tooth Wear: Night guards help prevent grinding and clenching from damaging your enamel, reducing the risk of fractures, flattening, and long-term wear.
Supports Jaw Comfort: By minimizing pressure on your jaw joints and muscles, night guards may help reduce tension, soreness, and morning headaches associated with clenching.
Custom-Fit Comfort: Unlike over-the-counter options, custom night guards are designed specifically for your bite, creating a more secure and comfortable fit while you sleep.
Protects Existing Dental Work: Night guards help safeguard veneers, crowns, fillings, and bonding from excessive nighttime pressure that can shorten their lifespan.

The Night Guard Care Process
Before bed, place your night guard in hot water while brushing your teeth. This softens the material slightly for a more comfortable fit.
Once pliable, place the night guard comfortably over your teeth before sleeping. Consistent nightly wear is especially important during the first 14 days.
Each morning, clean your night guard gently with warm water and antibacterial soap to remove buildup and keep it fresh.
Wrap the guard in a damp paper towel and store it in its protective case to help maintain its shape and longevity.Wrap the guard in a damp paper towel and store it in its protective case to help maintain its shape and longevity.
