Dental Nightguards at Advanced Dental Partners

Dental nightguards, also known as occlusal splints or bite guards, are custom-made oral appliances designed to alleviate various dental issues caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching during sleep. These devices serve as a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, cushioning their impact and preventing the excessive wear and damage that can result from these habits.

Nightguards are beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, worn enamel, and disrupted sleep due to bruxism. They are typically made from durable materials that can withstand the forces exerted during grinding and clenching. Dentists create nightguards by taking impressions of the patient’s teeth, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit.

Wearing a dental nightguard not only safeguards teeth and reduces discomfort but also helps preserve the overall structure of the jaw. By effectively distributing the forces exerted during nighttime grinding, nightguards play a crucial role in preventing more serious dental issues over time. Consulting a dentist is essential to determine whether a nightguard is appropriate and to ensure proper fitting and usage for maximum effectiveness.

  Everyone is very friendly, I came here very nervous and scared because I had to have some major work done, it has been a long process but I know DR. Gerber is just making sure everything is satisfactory.  They immediately made me feel comfortable .  Staff is very friendly. I have been back a couple times for my wax fit for dentures.  Today was a good fit and when I come back I will have them.  Thank you so much for taking the time to make sure everything was good!  I have already recommended you to friends.  Keep doing what you do.  THANK YOU!!
