What are the signs and symptoms of bruxism?

Chronic teeth grinding often occurs at night and can be hard to notice at first. Common signs include waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth. You might also notice worn-down or chipped teeth, tight jaw muscles, gum recession, or clicking sounds when you open your mouth. Routine dental visits are essential for diagnosing bruxism, as our team can identify signs that patients do not always notice or attribute to teeth clenching and grinding.

What is the process for getting a custom nightguard?

Getting a custom nightguard starts with a simple visit to our office. We’ll take an impression of your teeth to ensure the guard fits perfectly. This mold is sent to a dental lab, where your nightguard is custom-made using high-quality materials. Once it’s ready, we’ll have you try it on and make any needed adjustments. The entire process typically takes a couple of weeks from start to finish.

What are the benefits of custom nightguards?

Custom nightguards offer a comfortable and effective way to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching. Unlike over-the-counter options, they’re made to fit your mouth precisely, which helps improve comfort and effectiveness. Nightguards reduce jaw strain, prevent tooth damage, and can even ease headaches caused by bruxism. By wearing a custom nightguard each night, you can protect your smile and improve your overall oral health.
