Night Guards: Quality Protection for Your Smile
Introduction
At Henley Dental, we understand the importance of safeguarding your smile, especially during the night when unconscious habits like teeth grinding can pose risks to your oral health. Our custom-fitted night guards offer a personalized and effective solution, providing comfort and protection against the damaging effects of bruxism.
The Night Guard Process
3D Scan for Precision
The creation of your custom night guard begins with a precise 3D scan of your teeth. This ensures a snug fit and optimal protection, tailored to the unique contours of your mouth. The use of advanced technology allows us to create a night guard that is both comfortable and effective.
Benefits of Night Guards
Prevention of Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Night guards act as a protective barrier, preventing the grinding or clenching of teeth during sleep. This helps preserve the tooth structure and reduces the risk of dental damage caused by bruxism.
Headache Relief
Many individuals with bruxism experience headaches as a result of jaw tension. Night guards help alleviate this tension, providing relief from frequent headaches associated with teeth grinding.
Protecting Tooth Enamel
Continuous grinding can wear down tooth enamel over time. Night guards act as a cushion, absorbing the force and protecting the enamel from unnecessary damage.
Preventing Jaw Pain and Discomfort
Night guards promote a relaxed jaw position, reducing the strain on jaw muscles. This can help prevent jaw pain and discomfort associated with bruxism.
Personalized Placement
Night guards can be designed for placement on either the upper or lower teeth, depending on your specific needs and comfort preferences. Our dental team at Henley Dental ensures that the design is customized to meet your individual requirements.
