Night Guards
Night Guards in Tulare, CA | Esthetic Smile
Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth? You may be grinding your teeth at night — a condition called bruxism. At Esthetic Smile in Tulare, CA, we provide custom-fit night guards to protect your teeth and relieve discomfort while you sleep.
What Is a Night Guard and Do You Need One?
A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance worn over your teeth while you sleep. It creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing the damage caused by grinding and clenching. Signs you may need a night guard include waking up with a sore jaw, frequent headaches, tooth sensitivity, or visibly flattened teeth. Our team will evaluate your bite and recommend the right solution for you.
Benefits of a Custom Night Guard
Unlike store-bought options, a custom night guard from Esthetic Smile is precisely fitted to your teeth for maximum comfort and protection. Benefits include reduced jaw pain and muscle tension, prevention of tooth wear and cracking, relief from TMJ-related discomfort, and improved sleep quality. Our dentist takes impressions of your teeth to create an appliance that fits perfectly and stays in place throughout the night.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a custom night guard different from a store-bought one?
Custom night guards are professionally crafted from impressions of your specific teeth, ensuring a precise, comfortable fit. Store-bought guards are generic and often bulky, which can make them uncomfortable to wear and less effective at protecting your teeth. A custom guard stays in place better and provides superior protection against grinding forces.
How long does it take to get a night guard?
The process typically requires two visits. At the first appointment, we take impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental lab. Your custom night guard is usually ready within one to two weeks, at which point you return for a fitting. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable, secure fit before you take it home.
