Teeth grinding during sleep also known as bruxism is a common condition that can place extra pressure on your teeth and jaw. If you regularly grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom night guard may help protect your smile and reduce discomfort.

A night guard is a removable dental appliance designed to create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep. Unlike a sports mouth guard, it is custom-fitted to your bite for better comfort and protection.

Dr. John Kurzawa customizes each night guard to provide a comfortable and secure fit. A properly fitted night guard can help protect your teeth from excessive wear, enamel damage, jaw discomfort, and irritation caused by grinding.

During your appointment, our dental team can discuss additional ways to manage teeth grinding. Lifestyle changes, such as reducing habits that may contribute to grinding, can support better oral health and comfort.

If you notice signs of teeth grinding or jaw discomfort, contact our dental office to schedule a consultation and learn whether a custom night guard is right for you.
