Choosing Smiles of Bulverde for your dental night guards means trusting a team that prioritizes your comfort and dental health. Our expert family dentist in San Antonio uses only durable, high-quality materials to create custom-fitted night guards that ensure both comfort and effectiveness. This personalized approach guarantees that each night guard not only meets your specific dental needs but also enhances your overall sleep quality.
A night guard is a simple oral appliance that can significantly enhance your oral health by protecting your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding and clenching. Signs of this damage can often be detected early through digital X-rays, helping prevent tooth wear, tooth decay, and gum recession while supporting long term oral health.
Investing in a custom night guard is a cost-effective way to prevent the expensive dental repairs that come from night-time teeth grinding. It’s a proactive approach to dental care that saves money in the long run.
Night guards offer a non-invasive treatment option to manage bruxism. Unlike other treatments that might involve medication or surgery, night guards are a physical solution that doesn’t involve any recovery time or serious side effects.
Come in for an initial consultation where we assess your needs, rule out serious jaw concerns that may require oral surgery, and take precise measurements for your custom night guard.
Your night guard is then fabricated using high-quality materials to match the exact contours of your teeth and gums, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Once your night guard is ready, we’ll have you try it on and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it fits perfectly and feels comfortable.
Initially, any new appliance feels a bit "different." You might notice increased saliva or a slight tightness for the first few nights. However, because our guards are slim and custom fabricated to fit only your teeth, most patients forget they are wearing them after about a week. If you feel any sharp spots or your bite feels "off" in the morning, we can easily perform a final adjustment in our office.
To keep your guard clear and bacteria free, follow these steps:
A standard night guard is designed to protect teeth from grinding (bruxism), not to stop snoring. However, if your snoring is caused by jaw positioning, we can discuss specialized Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD). These look similar to night guards but are engineered to gently move the lower jaw forward, keeping your airway open during sleep.
A high-quality, custom night guard from Smiles of Bulverde typically lasts 3 to 5 years, depending on the intensity of your grinding. "Heavy grinders" may need a replacement sooner. We recommend bringing your guard to every regular dental cleaning so we can inspect it for thinning or cracks.
