A custom night guard protects your teeth from grinding and clenching while you sleep. At R&A Dentistry, we make sure it fits comfortably and works effectively so you can wake up without discomfort or damage.
A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance that fits over your teeth to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching.
Worn during sleep, it acts as a protective barrier—reducing wear on your teeth and easing muscle strain.
A well-fitted night guard provides real relief from the symptoms of grinding and clenching. Over time, it protects your teeth, jaw, and overall well-being.
Prevents chips, cracks, and enamel wear caused by grinding.
Eases pressure on your jaw joints and muscles.
Helps prevent interruptions from grinding that can affect rest.
Reduces the morning pain and tension often linked to night-time grinding.
If you grind your teeth or experience related symptoms, a night guard may help protect your oral health and improve comfort.
