Why a Custom Night Guard Matters

Over-the-counter or online night guards may seem convenient, but many patients experience significant drawbacks:
● Bulky, uncomfortable fit that irritates the cheeks, lips, or palate● Uneven pressure on certain teeth, possibly contributing to shifting or bite discomfort● Low durability — many tears, shrinkage, or warping after only days of use● Lower-quality materials that can cause mouth sores or irritation● No professional ability to adjust or refine the fit
Custom Night Guards at Dentistry 2000
Our custom-made night guards are:
● Fitted using either digital scans or in-office impressions, based on what is best for your specific case● Made from durable, high-quality, biocompatible materials● Designed to be truly comfortable for nightly use● Adjustable in-office to ensure ongoing, proper fit and protection
Custom night guards offer long-term comfort, longevity, and professional adjustability that over-the-counter products cannot match.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most custom night guards last 3–5 years or longer with proper care.

  • Yes. A well-fitted night guard reduces jaw strain and muscle tension, which can significantly relieve TMJ discomfort.

  • Some appliances reposition the jaw to help open the airway and reduce snoring. If snoring is persistent, we may also discuss sleep apnea screening.

  • Rinse after each use with cool water. Gently clean with mild soap and a soft toothbrush. Bring it with you to dental checkups so we can inspect it.

  • Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage. Our team will verify your benefits and provide a clear cost estimate.
