Grinding Happens While You Sleep — The Damage Is Real

A custom night guard from Richmond Dental Care is a simple, comfortable, cost-effective solution that protects your teeth from the forces of grinding while you sleep.

 

It also reduces the strain on your jaw muscles, which helps relieve morning headaches and jaw discomfort.

A properly fitted guard is unobtrusive enough to wear every night without disrupting sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a custom night guard different from a store-bought one?
Custom guards are made from a precise impression of your teeth and fit perfectly. Over-the-counter guards are bulky, often uncomfortable, and far less effective at protecting against grinding forces.
With proper care, a custom night guard typically lasts 3–5 years, depending on the severity of your grinding.
Many PPO dental plans cover a portion of the cost of a custom night guard. We verify your benefits before fabrication so you know what to expect.
A night guard does not stop the grinding behaviour itself — it protects your teeth from the damage caused by grinding. Some patients benefit from additional treatment such as stress reduction or bite adjustment.
Yes. Teeth grinding is common in children. We assess whether a guard is appropriate based on your child’s age and dental development.
Rinse with cool water after each use and brush gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid hot water — it can warp the material.
