Prices

What does a night guard cost in Abington, PA?

A night guard is quoted after the examination, because the price depends on your bite, wear pattern, and whether you need a simple protective guard or a more involved fit. There is no published price for this treatment, so the figure is confirmed at the visit. If you are comparing options, whitening is estimated at $500 to $1,200 and a crown is estimated at $1,000 to $2,000 per tooth, which helps show how a guard is usually planned as a custom preventive device rather than a restorative one.

Option	Cost range	Visits or timeline	How long it lasts
Night guard	Quoted after the examination	Usually 1 to 2 visits after records and fit checks	Varies by wear and grinding level
Whitening	$500 to $1,200	Often 1 to 2 visits	1 to 3 years
Crown	$1,000 to $2,000 per tooth	Usually 2 visits	15 to 25 years
Sleep apnea oral appliance	$3,000 to $7,500	Custom evaluation and follow up visits	Long term use with maintenance

Prices shown are estimates for planning only and are not a quote. Every case differs, and your fee is confirmed in writing after an examination and scan. See the cost calculator for an early indication.

Custom fit

How is a night guard fitted?

A night guard is fitted with an exam, bite records, and a custom impression or scan so it matches your teeth and jaw movement. That process helps reduce clenching stress and gives a more stable fit than a store bought guard. For Abington patients, that means one office visit can start the process, and follow up is used to check comfort and retention. Alpha Dental Excellence has four dentists at one address, so the plan can be reviewed by a team that sees a wide range of bite problems.

What to expect

Bite evaluationThe dentist checks wear spots, jaw tenderness, and how your teeth meet when you close.

Custom recordsYour mouth is recorded so the guard can be shaped for a more precise fit.

Comfort checkThe team confirms the guard feels secure and does not create new bite problems.

Use instructionsYou get guidance on wearing, cleaning, and storing the guard at night.

Why it helps

Why choose a custom night guard?

A custom night guard can protect enamel, reduce grinding damage, and lower the chance of cracked fillings or sore jaw muscles. It is made for your bite, which can make it easier to wear through the night than an over the counter tray. This matters if you wake with headaches, notice flattened teeth, or have a history of repairs that keep chipping. In Bucks County, many patients from Abington, Langhorne, Fairless Hills, Newtown, Holland, and Bensalem choose a local custom solution instead of replacing damaged teeth later.

Common concerns

Tooth wearGrinding can flatten enamel and make teeth more sensitive over time.

Jaw strainClenching can leave the jaw tired, tight, or sore in the morning.

Restoration protectionA guard can help protect crowns, bonding, and other dental work.

Sleep comfortA better fit can mean less bulk and fewer interruptions during sleep.

Comfort options

What if dental visits make you anxious?

Oral and IV sedation are available in house, and the sedation consultation is complimentary, a $574 value, with a CBCT scan and panoramic X-ray included. That gives anxious patients a clear way to discuss comfort before any treatment starts. This can be useful if you have delayed care because of gagging, fear, or a sensitive jaw. The consult also lets the team review whether a night guard, another appliance, or a different treatment is the better fit for your symptoms.

Helpful details

Complimentary consultThe sedation visit includes a discussion of options at no charge.

CBCT scanA 3D scan helps the dentist review anatomy and planning needs.

Panoramic X-rayA panoramic image gives a broad view of the teeth and jaws.

Two sedation choicesOral and IV sedation are both available in the office.

Common Questions

Common questions about night guard care in Abington, PA

It can help when pain comes from grinding or clenching at night. A custom guard cushions the bite, spreads pressure more evenly, and may reduce the strain that makes the jaw feel tight in the morning.

Most patients need an exam, records, and a follow up fit visit. Timing depends on the case, but the process is usually straightforward once the dentist confirms the bite and the type of guard you need.

No referral is usually needed. You can call the office directly, discuss your symptoms, and schedule an exam if you think you grind, clench, or have damaged teeth from nighttime pressure.

No, it does not stop the habit itself. It protects the teeth from the force of grinding and can make the effects of clenching less damaging while you sleep.

No. A store bought guard is made to fit many mouths, while a custom guard is designed from your bite records. That usually means better retention, more comfort, and less bulk.

Yes, it can help protect dental work from repeated nighttime force. If you already have crowns or bonding, a custom guard may help reduce the chance of chipping or wear.

Oral and IV sedation are available in house. The complimentary sedation consultation includes a CBCT scan and panoramic X-ray, so you can review comfort options before treatment begins.

The drive is about 13.0 miles and takes around 25 minutes by the measured route to 240 Middletown Blvd in Langhorne. That makes it a manageable Bucks County trip for most Abington patients.
