Our Custom Nightguard Process
Step 1: Consultation
During your first visit, our dental team will assess your teeth, jaw alignment, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. This allows us to understand your needs and recommend the best type of night guard for your unique situation.
Step 2: Impressions
To ensure a perfect fit, we’ll take detailed impressions of your teeth using either traditional molds or advanced 3D scanning technology. This step ensures that your night guard is customized for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Step 3: Fabrication
Your night guard is crafted using high-quality materials designed to withstand nightly teeth grinding while ensuring a comfortable fit.
Step 4: Fitting and Adjustments
Once your night guard is ready, we’ll make sure it fits snugly and comfortably. Any necessary adjustments will be made, and we’ll provide you with instructions on how to care for and maintain your night guard.
Step 5: Ongoing Care
Regular follow-up appointments are recommended to ensure your night guard remains effective and in good condition. We’ll also check for any changes in your teeth or jaw alignment that may require adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How long do custom night guards last?
Custom night guards typically last between 1 to 5 years, depending on factors such as the severity of grinding and how well the guard is maintained. Proper care can extend the lifespan of your night guard.
2. Is a custom night guard better than store-bought options?

Many dental insurance plans cover custom night guards as a basic service. We can help you check your coverage before proceeding with treatment, so you know what to expect in terms of costs.
4. How should I care for my night guard?
To keep your night guard in top condition:
- Rinse it with cool water after each use.
- Gently brush it with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive cleaner.
- Store it in a ventilated container to prevent bacterial growth.
Avoid exposing it to high temperatures, which can cause warping.
5. How do I know if I need a night guard?
Signs that you may need a night guard include waking up with sore jaws, frequent headaches, tooth sensitivity, or visible wear on your teeth. If you suspect you grind your teeth at night, a consultation with our dental team can help determine if a night guard is right for you.
