How much does a night guard cost in Fairless Hills, PA?

Night guard pricing is quoted after the examination because the cost depends on your bite, wear patterns, and whether you need a simple guard or a more complex fit. There is no published price for this treatment, so the figure is confirmed after the exam. If you are comparing options, other treatments with published estimates include whitening at $500 to $1,200 and crowns at $1,000 to $2,000 per tooth.

Custom fit

Why choose a custom night guard instead of a store bought one?

A custom night guard is made from your bite, so it fits more securely and is less likely to feel bulky than a boil and bite guard. That matters if you grind hard, clench often, or already have worn teeth, cracked fillings, or jaw soreness. At Alpha Dental Excellence, the guard is planned around your bite and your symptoms, not a one size fits all tray. For many patients in Fairless Hills, that means better comfort, better retention, and less chance of waking up with a sore jaw.
What the guard is meant to do
Protect enamelIt creates a barrier that helps reduce direct wear from nightly grinding and clenching.
Improve comfortA custom fit is usually easier to wear through the night than an over the counter guard.
Support damaged teethIt can help protect teeth that already show flattening, chips, or stress lines.
Reduce strainSome patients notice less morning jaw tension once the bite is cushioned and stabilised.
Visit process

What happens during a night guard visit?

The visit usually starts with an exam, then the team records your bite and checks for wear, cracks, and jaw symptoms. If a guard is appropriate, you return for a fit check so the appliance sits correctly and feels comfortable. Alpha Dental Excellence has four dentists at one address, which helps keep the process efficient for patients coming from Fairless Hills, Langhorne, Newtown, Holland, Bensalem, or Levittown. The office has treated 27,000+ patients since 2004.
Typical steps
Exam firstThe dentist checks tooth wear, bite alignment, and any signs of clenching or grinding.
Records takenYour bite is captured so the guard can be made to match your mouth closely.
Fit visitYou try the guard on and the team adjusts the fit if needed.
Home useYou leave with instructions on cleaning, storage, and when to return if the fit changes.
Urgent care

When should Fairless Hills patients book sooner?

Book sooner if you wake with jaw pain, notice flattened teeth, hear clicking with soreness, or have a cracked filling after grinding. Alpha Dental Excellence keeps same day emergency slots open daily for problems that should not wait. A night guard can be preventive, but symptoms that are already affecting sleep or chewing deserve prompt attention. If you are worried about whether grinding is damaging a crown, filling, or natural tooth, an exam can clarify the next step.
Signs not to ignore
Morning painJaw soreness or temple pain on waking can point to overnight clenching.
Visible wearFlattened edges or chipped enamel often means the bite is under stress.
Broken workA cracked filling or crown can be aggravated by repeated grinding.
HeadachesFrequent morning headaches can be part of the same clenching pattern.
Comfort options

Can sedation help if the visit makes you anxious?

Yes, oral and IV sedation are available in house, and the sedation consultation is complimentary, a $574 value. That consult includes a CBCT scan and a panoramic X-ray, which helps the dentist plan care safely and clearly. If dental visits make you tense, ask about sedation before your guard appointment. The office can review whether simple comfort measures are enough or whether sedation is a better fit for your situation.
Why anxious patients ask
Oral sedationThis can help you feel calmer for treatment while staying in the office.
IV sedationThis is available in house for patients who need a deeper level of relaxation.
Complimentary consultThe consultation includes imaging and a treatment review at no charge.
Planning supportThe imaging helps the team evaluate your teeth, jaw, and bite before treatment.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about night guards

Maybe. Even occasional clenching can wear teeth or strain the jaw over time. A dentist can look for signs like flattened edges, sensitivity, or tight jaw muscles, then decide whether a custom guard makes sense for you.

It depends on how hard you grind, how often you wear it, and how well you care for it. Some guards last for years, but heavy grinders may need replacement sooner if the material shows wear.

It may help if your headaches are tied to clenching or jaw tension, but it is not a guaranteed fix. The dentist will check whether your symptoms fit a grinding pattern or whether another cause needs attention.

Yes, many patients with crowns or fillings wear custom guards. In fact, protecting dental work from grinding can be one reason to get one. The fit should be checked carefully so the appliance does not create new pressure points.

A new guard can feel different for a few nights, but it should not cause pain. If it feels too tight, loose, or uneven, call the office so the fit can be adjusted rather than forcing it.

No. A night guard is designed for sleep and bite protection against clenching and grinding, while a sports mouthguard is built to absorb impact during athletic activity. They are made for different jobs and different fits.

Yes, if anxiety is a barrier, the office offers oral and IV sedation in house. The team can review the complimentary sedation consultation first, then decide whether it is appropriate for your visit and treatment plan.
