If you grind, you need one
Nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism) wears down enamel, cracks teeth, breaks fillings and crowns and causes morning headaches and jaw soreness. Most people don't know they do it until a partner mentions it or a tooth chips.
A custom night guard absorbs the force so your teeth don't. It's the cheapest insurance policy in dentistry — a few hundred dollars prevents thousands in damage.

Common questions
How do I know if I grind my teeth?+
Signs: worn-flat tooth edges, morning jaw soreness, chipped teeth, sensitive teeth, headaches. A bed partner may also hear it.
Why not just buy one at the drugstore?+
They don't fit properly, they're bulky and they wear out in months. A custom guard lasts 3–5 years and protects much better.
Does insurance cover it?+
Many plans cover custom night guards as a major service. We submit a pre-determination so you know what's covered before we make it.
