Custom protection you'll actually wear.
About nightguardsThe grind
What causes teeth grinding?
Teeth grinding, called bruxism, is usually driven by stress, sleep patterns, bite misalignment, or some medications, and most of it happens while you sleep. You may not hear it, but your teeth keep track: flattened edges, chips, cracked fillings, and a sore jaw in the morning.
Sneaky damage, every night.
Sleep grinding puts out far more force than daytime chewing, and it hits the same spots every night. The clues show up at exams: wear facets, enamel cracks, notches at the gumline, and teeth that turn sensitive for no obvious reason. Add morning headaches and a tight, tired jaw, and the picture's complete.
The honest fix is protection plus management. A custom nightguard soaks up the force so your teeth stop paying for it, better stress and sleep habits move the needle, and repairing damaged teeth restores what was lost. If your clenching traces back to bite alignment, we'll talk through what that means for you specifically.
When to come in
Which one sounds like you?
Time for a look
Your partner hears grinding, you wake up with jaw tightness or headaches, or you spot chips and flattened edges. An exam confirms the pattern.
Don't put this off
A cracked tooth, a broken filling, or tooth pain along with the grinding. Repair plus protection beats repair alone.
Help from home
Managing stress, skipping late caffeine, and keeping a steady sleep routine genuinely help many grinders, alongside a nightguard.
The math, made simple.
Here's the honest math: a custom nightguard costs a fraction of the crowns and repairs it prevents. Some plans chip in when wear is documented, we file out-of-network claims as a courtesy, and payment options are simple.
You asked, we answered.
How do I know I grind if I sleep alone?
Your teeth tell us. Wear patterns, cracks, and scalloped tongue edges show up at an exam, and morning jaw tightness is a strong clue.
Are drugstore nightguards good enough?
They're bulky, fit loosely, and often end up unworn on the nightstand. A custom guard fits precisely, lasts years, and actually gets worn, which is the whole point.
Can grinding crack my teeth?
Yes. Night forces are strong enough to crack enamel, fillings, and even crowns over time. Protection costs much less than the repairs.
Will a nightguard stop the grinding itself?
No, and we'll be honest about that. It redirects the force so your teeth stop taking the damage while you work on drivers like stress and sleep.
