Clinical Overview

About Your Treatment

Bruxism (involuntary clenching and grinding during sleep) can cause worn-down flat teeth, cracked fillings, chronic morning headaches, and TMJ joint pain.

Our custom laboratory-crafted night guards cushion your bite, absorb grinding forces, and protect your smile from irreversible enamel damage.

Treatment Journey

Night Guard Treatment Journey

Custom-made protection to relieve jaw tension, prevent tooth wear and support comfortable sleep.

01

Consultation & Symptom Assessment

We begin by discussing symptoms such as teeth grinding, jaw clenching, worn teeth, jaw tension or morning discomfort. This helps us understand whether a custom night guard may be the right treatment for you.

02

Bite Check & Diagnosis

Your dentist carefully examines your teeth, bite, jaw joints and signs of bruxism or tooth wear. We confirm the cause of your symptoms and explain whether a custom night guard is recommended to protect your teeth and reduce strain.

03

Treatment Planning, Options & Costs

We explain your diagnosis, treatment options and the benefits of a professionally made night guard. Costs are discussed clearly, so you can choose the most suitable treatment for your needs with confidence.

04

3D Digital Scan

A precise 3D digital scan of your upper and lower teeth is taken without messy impressions. This allows us to create a custom night guard designed for comfort, accuracy and a secure fit.

05

Custom Night Guard Fabrication

Your night guard is carefully custom-made to fit your teeth and bite. It is designed to help protect your enamel, reduce grinding forces and support more comfortable sleep.

06

Fitting, Adjustments & Aftercare

At your fitting appointment, we check the fit, comfort and bite of your night guard and make any adjustments if needed. We also provide advice on how to wear, clean and care for it, with review appointments if required.
