Night Guards and Splints

Bruxism poses significant risks to restorations and natural dentition. We fabricate custom hard and dual-laminate occlusal guards that provide superior protection against grinding forces. These appliances are designed to cover the occlusal surfaces fully, distributing stress evenly to protect teeth from attrition and fractures during sleep.

We tailor the thickness and material hardness to the patient's specific occlusal dynamics. For patients with heavy bite forces, we recommend robust materials that resist puncturing. The fit is critical; we ensure the guard seats firmly on prepared surfaces without causing tissue irritation or altering the patient's bite when worn.

Comfort is essential for patient compliance. We polish the guard to a high luster and adjust edges to prevent soft tissue impingement. The result is a comfortable appliance that patients will actually wear. We also provide guidance on cleaning and maintenance to extend the lifespan of the device.
