Frequently asked questions about night guard care
Common signs include jaw soreness, morning headaches, tooth sensitivity, chipped edges, and worn chewing surfaces. A dentist can check whether clenching or grinding is causing the damage and whether a custom night guard is the right first step.
No. Store-bought guards are usually bulkier and less precise. A custom night guard is made from your bite, which can improve comfort, retention, and protection while reducing the chance that the appliance feels loose or uneven at night.
It depends on how hard you clench, how often you wear it, and how your bite changes over time. Some guards last several years, while heavy grinders may need replacement sooner. The dentist can review wear at follow-up visits.
It may help if your headaches are linked to clenching, jaw tension, or muscle strain. It will not treat every cause of headache, so the dentist should check your symptoms and make sure the problem is really bite related before recommending one.
Not usually, because many night guard visits are straightforward. If you are anxious, have a strong gag reflex, or need additional treatment, oral and IV sedation are available in house, and the consultation is complimentary.
Same-day emergency slots are kept open daily. If you have sudden pain, a cracked tooth, or a broken appliance, call right away so the office can advise whether you should come in that day.
Crossing the Delaware can still make sense if your benefits help offset part of the care. The team can review the treatment plan and discuss the estimate after the examination so you know what to expect before you commit.
A crown is estimated at $1,000 to $2,000 per tooth, and a root canal is estimated at $600 to $1,500 including the crown. Those figures help show why protecting worn teeth early can be a practical move.
