Nightguards
Custom Nightguards in Encino
Grinding or clenching your teeth can place significant pressure on your teeth and jaw. A custom nightguard creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth while you sleep.
Signs You May Be Grinding or Clenching
Possible signs include worn or flattened teeth, chipped enamel, jaw soreness, morning headaches, tooth sensitivity, or tightness in the facial muscles.
Why Choose a Custom Nightguard?
A professionally made nightguard is created to fit your mouth. A precise fit can improve comfort and help keep the appliance securely positioned while you sleep.
Protect Your Teeth
A nightguard does not necessarily stop the habit of grinding or clenching, but it can help reduce direct tooth-to-tooth wear and protect dental restorations from excessive forces.
Evaluation and Fit
Dr. Barzegar can examine your teeth and bite to determine whether a nightguard may be appropriate for you.
