Night guards are essential devices designed to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism, a condition where individuals unconsciously grind or clench their teeth during sleep. This habit can lead to a variety of dental issues, including tooth wear, fractures, jaw pain and headaches. At Creekside Dental, we offer custom-fitted night guards to help patients protect their smiles and enjoy a more restful sleep. 

Why Are Night Guards Important?

Bruxism is a common condition that can go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Wearing a custom night guard helps to prevent this damage by providing a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom night guards are tailored to fit your unique dental anatomy, offering superior comfort and protection. They are designed to distribute the forces of grinding evenly, reducing the stress on your teeth and jaw. 

The Process of Getting a Custom Night Guard

Obtaining a custom night guard is a straightforward process. Dr. Bennett Packard, Dr. Mark Walker and Dr. Matthew Dunn will take precise impressions of your teeth to create a night guard that fits perfectly and stays in place throughout the night. Made from durable, high-quality materials, these guards are built to last and provide effective protection against bruxism.
