Common questions about night guards for Delran patients
No. A night guard is designed for sleep grinding and clenching, while a sports mouthguard is built for impact protection. The fit, material thickness, and bite coverage are different, so the right appliance depends on the problem being treated.
Lifespan depends on how hard you grind, how often you wear it, and how well you clean and store it. Heavy clenchers may wear one down faster, while lighter use can extend service life for years.
It can feel different for a few nights, especially if you have never worn one before. A custom fit usually feels easier to tolerate than an over-the-counter tray because it is shaped to your bite and adjusted at follow up.
Yes. The exam lets the dentist check wear patterns, cracks, gum health, and bite position before recommending the right appliance. That step also helps determine whether the guard alone is enough or whether another treatment should come first.
It may help if the headaches are linked to clenching or jaw tension, but it is not a cure for every cause of headache. The dentist will look for signs that grinding is part of the problem before recommending treatment.
Oral and IV sedation are available in house. The sedation consultation is complimentary, a $574 value, and includes a CBCT scan and panoramic X-ray so the team can plan safely.
Many patients cross the Delaware and plan around bridge routes and traffic timing. The office in Langhorne is 15.3 miles away by the measured route, so it is a manageable trip for a custom appliance visit.
Yes. Interest-free payment plans run 12 to 24 months, and a $15,000 case is about $625 to $1,250 a month. The exact payment depends on the treatment plan and approved terms.
