Nightguards

Dental Nightguards

They are hard coverings used to protect teeth from damage caused by grinding while you are asleep.

Grinding or clenching teeth which is also called bruxism causes a number of problems such as: Wearing out of teeth, cracking of back teeth, breakage of restorations and severe damage to the jaw joint leading to clicking of the joints, headaches and pain.

To ensure a perfect fit, a custom made Night Guards can be made for you in the surgery. This involves taking an imprint of your teeth which is used to mould the guard giving you a customised night guard which provides the best comfort and protection.

Occlusal splints break the habit of grinding your teeth during the night and it is very easy to wear.
