Night Guards

What Is a Night Guard?

A night guard, also known as an occlusal splint, dental splint, bite splint or
mouth guard for teeth grinding, is a custom-made dental appliance worn while sleeping.

It sits between your upper and lower teeth to help protect them from the pressure caused by grinding and clenching.
While a night guard may not stop the grinding habit itself, it can help reduce the damage caused by repeated pressure on your teeth.

Signs You May Need a Night Guard

Many people grind their teeth while sleeping without realising it. You may benefit from a custom night guard if you notice:

• Worn, flattened or chipped teeth
• Tooth sensitivity
• Jaw tightness or soreness in the morning
• Morning headaches
• Facial muscle tension
• Cracked or damaged fillings
• Clicking, pressure or discomfort around the jaw joint
• A partner has noticed grinding sounds while you sleep

During your appointment, your dentist will check your teeth, bite and jaw symptoms to see whether a custom night guard is suitable for you.

Why Choose a Custom Night Guard?

Store-bought mouth guards can feel bulky, loose or uncomfortable. Because they are not made specifically for your teeth and bite, they may not provide the same comfort or protection as a custom-made dental splint.

A custom night guard is made to fit your mouth more accurately, making it easier to wear consistently while you sleep.

• Custom fit for your teeth and bite
• More comfortable than many over-the-counter guards
• Helps protect teeth from grinding-related wear
• Helps protect fillings, crowns, veneers and other dental work
• Designed for long-term night-time use
• Checked and fitted by a dentist

Our Night Guard Process

1. Dental Assessment

Your dentist will assess your teeth, bite, jaw symptoms and any signs of grinding or clenching.

2. Scan or Impression

We take an accurate scan or impression of your teeth so your custom night guard can be made to fit properly.

3. Custom Fabrication

Your night guard is made specifically for your mouth, with the aim of providing comfort, stability and protection while you sleep.

4. Fitting and Instructions

Once your night guard is ready, we check the fit and show you how to wear, clean and store it correctly.
