Protect Your Smile While You Sleep
Grinding and clenching your teeth can place significant stress on your teeth,
jaw joints, and muscles—often without you realizing it. At Seaside Dentistry,
we provide custom night guards designed to protect your smile from the
damaging effects of bruxism while improving comfort and long-term oral
health.
Common signs of grinding and clenching include worn teeth, chipped
enamel, jaw soreness, headaches, neck tension, and tooth sensitivity. Left
untreated, these habits can contribute to excessive tooth wear, cracked teeth,
and TMJ-related discomfort.
Using advanced digital scanning technology, including our iTero® scanner,
we create custom-fitted night guards tailored specifically to your bite. Unlike
over-the-counter options, a professionally made night guard offers superior
comfort, durability, and protection. Further, it balances your overall bite.
During your comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Ashley Paré will assess your bite,
evaluate signs of wear, and determine whether a custom night guard is
recommended.
Protecting your teeth today can help prevent more extensive dental
treatment in the future.
How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Many patients are unaware that they grind or clench their teeth until
symptoms begin to appear, such as jaw pain, morning headaches, tooth
sensitivity, or visible wear. During your comprehensive exam, Dr. Paré will
carefully evaluate your teeth for signs of grinding and clenching and use your iTero digital scan to show you areas of wear and changes in your tooth
structure. This allows you to better understand your individual bite and
identify potential concerns before they lead to more significant damage.
Are custom night guards better than store-bought versions?
Yes. Custom night guards are designed specifically for your teeth and provide
a more comfortable and effective fit.
How long do night guards last?
With proper care, many custom night guards last several years.
