Service Overview
Protect your teeth while you sleep.
Custom nightguards are often the first treatment option for clenching and grinding. Store bought guards may be bulky, poorly fitted, and can sometimes encourage more clenching.
A custom nightguard is made from your teeth and bite so it can protect tooth structure and existing dental work with a fit you are more likely to wear.
Symptoms it may relate to
Jaw soreness, headaches, tooth pain, cracked teeth, broken fillings, and morning tension.
Why custom matters
A precise fit is thinner, steadier, and more comfortable than many online or drugstore guards.
What Nightguards Addresses

Morning jaw pain

Signs can include worn teeth, cracked fillings, jaw soreness, headaches, tooth sensitivity, or a partner noticing grinding sounds.
02 Why avoid store bought nightguards?
They are not custom fitted, can be bulky, and may not protect the bite as precisely as a custom appliance.
03 Will a nightguard stop clenching?
A nightguard does not necessarily stop the habit, but it protects teeth and dental work from the forces.
