Common questions about night guards for Riverside patients
Common signs include morning jaw soreness, headaches, worn edges, chipped fillings, and tooth sensitivity. A dentist can confirm the pattern with an exam and look for visible wear that matches clenching or grinding.
Usually yes, because a custom guard is made from your bite records and adjusted for your mouth. That typically improves fit, comfort, and protection compared with a boil-and-bite tray.
It can reduce grinding force and help protect teeth, but it does not fix every cause of jaw pain. The dentist should check for bite issues, cracked teeth, or joint problems before recommending treatment.
A custom appliance is shaped to your mouth, so it usually feels slimmer and more stable than a store-bought option. Most patients need a short adjustment period before it feels normal at night.
Replacement depends on how hard you grind and how much wear the appliance takes. During follow-up visits, the dentist can check the surface for thinning, cracks, or fit changes.
Yes, and that is often a reason to get one. A guard can help protect crowns, bonding, and other restorations from extra force while you sleep.
If grinding has led to a broken tooth, severe pain, or swelling, same-day emergency slots are kept open daily. The dentist can stabilise the problem before planning the guard.
Because some patients feel anxious about dental care. The complimentary consult is a $574 value and includes a CBCT scan and a panoramic X-ray, which helps plan care more comfortably.
