Night guards are an effective solution for protecting your teeth and jaw from the damaging effects of bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding or clenching. Our dentist and team provide custom night guards in Los Angeles, California, designed to offer comfort and protection while you sleep.
Bruxism often occurs during sleep and can lead to various dental issues, including worn-down enamel, cracked or chipped teeth and jaw pain. Night guards are specifically designed to cushion the teeth and absorb the pressure from grinding or clenching, thereby reducing the risk of dental damage and alleviating associated discomfort.
Benefits of Night Guards:
- Protection: Custom night guards shield your teeth from excessive wear and prevent damage caused by grinding and clenching.
- Comfort: Made from soft, flexible materials, custom night guards are designed to fit your unique dental structure, ensuring a comfortable and snug fit.
- Jaw Relief: By redistributing the forces from grinding, night guards can help reduce jaw pain and discomfort, improving overall sleep quality.
The Process:
- Consultation: Dr. Bruce King evaluates your dental health and discusses your symptoms to determine if a night guard is appropriate for you.
- Impressions: Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fit night guard tailored to your mouth.
- Fitting: Once the night guard is ready, it is adjusted to ensure a comfortable fit and optimal effectiveness.
