Safeguarding Your Smile

At South Gate Dental Clinic, we understand the importance of protecting your teeth from the harmful effects of teeth grinding and jaw clenching, especially while you sleep. That's why we offer custom-made night guards designed to provide superior protection and promote better oral health. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of night guards and why they are essential for maintaining a healthy smile.

What are Night Guards?

Night guards, also known as occlusal splints or bite guards, are dental appliances worn during sleep to protect the teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism, a condition characterized by teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Night guards are custom-fitted to each patient's mouth to ensure a comfortable fit and maximum effectiveness.

Benefits of Night Guards:

Prevent Dental Damage: Night guards create a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing them from coming into contact and minimizing the risk of wear, fractures, and damage caused by grinding and clenching.
Relieve Jaw Pain: By cushioning the teeth and reducing pressure on the jaw muscles, night guards can help alleviate jaw pain, tension headaches, and other symptoms associated with bruxism.
Protect Restorations: Night guards can help protect dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and fillings from excessive wear and damage, prolonging their lifespan and reducing the need for repairs or replacements.
Improve Sleep Quality: By reducing the frequency and intensity of teeth grinding and jaw clenching, night guards can promote a more restful night's sleep, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
