Nightguards

Our Process

Initial Consultation

The dentist evaluates your need for a nightguard, often used to prevent teeth grinding or to address TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues. This includes examining your teeth, jaw, and bite alignment.

Taking Impressions

To create a custom-fit nightguard, the dentist takes an impression of your upper and lower teeth using a soft material. This impression is then sent to a dental lab to fabricate the nightguard.

Fabrication of Nightguard

The dental laboratory uses the impressions to create a precise model of your teeth. The nightguard is crafted from durable, high-quality materials to ensure comfort and effectiveness.

Fitting Appointment

Once the nightguard is ready, you will have a fitting appointment. The dentist checks the fit, makes any necessary adjustments, and ensures that the nightguard is comfortable and does not affect your bite.

Care Instructions

The dentist provides detailed instructions on how to wear and care for your nightguard, including cleaning and storage practices.

Follow-Up Adjustments

Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to ensure the nightguard is functioning properly and to make any needed adjustments for comfort and effectiveness.
