Night Guards
At Lawrence Dentistry, we understand the importance of protecting your teeth, even when you’re fast asleep. That’s why we offer high-quality night guards to help prevent teeth grinding and jaw clenching, also known as bruxism. Our experienced team of dentists is dedicated to providing top-notch dental services in the category of Health - Dentist and Dental Services. With our custom night guards, you can enjoy a peaceful night's sleep while maintaining your oral health.
What Are Night Guards?
Night guards, also referred to as occlusal splints or bite splints, are protective devices worn during sleep to alleviate the damaging effects of bruxism. Bruxism is a common dental condition in which individuals unconsciously clench or grind their teeth, often during the night. This can lead to various dental problems, including worn down enamel, tooth sensitivity, headaches, and jaw pain.
At Lawrence Dentistry, we provide custom-made night guards specifically designed to fit comfortably over your teeth. By wearing a night guard, you create a cushioning effect that prevents direct contact between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the harmful impact of grinding and clenching. Our night guards are crafted using durable and high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting protection for your teeth.
Benefits of Night Guards
Using night guards offer numerous benefits, including:
- Protection Against Tooth Damage: Night guards act as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the risk of tooth wear, chips, and fractures caused by grinding and clenching.
- Alleviation of Jaw Pain: Bruxism often leads to jaw pain and discomfort. Night guards help relax the jaw muscles and alleviate symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).
- Prevention of Headaches: Frequent teeth grinding can result in tension headaches. Night guards help minimize the intensity and frequency of these headaches by reducing pressure on the jaw muscles.
- Improved Sleep Quality: By wearing a night guard, you can sleep better, knowing that your teeth are protected against the damaging effects of bruxism.
- Preserving Dental Work: If you have dental restorations such as crowns or veneers, night guards help safeguard them from being damaged due to grinding or clenching.
Custom-Fitted Night Guards
At Lawrence Dentistry, we believe in the importance of custom-fit night guards for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Our experienced dentists will take impressions of your teeth to create a unique night guard tailored to fit your mouth perfectly. This ensures a snug fit that stays in place throughout the night, allowing you to sleep comfortably while receiving optimal protection.
Unlike over-the-counter night guards, our custom-fitted night guards provide superior durability, comfort, and effectiveness. They are designed to withstand regular wear and tear while remaining gentle on your teeth and gums. With our high-quality night guards, you can enjoy a restful night's sleep, knowing that your teeth are shielded against the harmful effects of bruxism.
Consultation and Fitting
If you suspect that you may be suffering from bruxism or require a night guard for any other reason, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our experienced team at Lawrence Dentistry. During the consultation, our dentists will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and discuss your symptoms and concerns.
If a night guard is deemed necessary, our dentists will take precise impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. These impressions will then be used to create a custom night guard that suits your unique needs. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to wear, clean, and maintain your night guard for long-lasting use.
