Night Guards

Do you grind your teeth while you sleep at night? Do you frequently wake up with a sore jaw? If so, our dentists may recommend that we fit you for a custom night guard in Culpeper, Virginia. Night guards are beneficial for patients who suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching. Many individuals are completely unaware that they have such a condition. If during your appointment, one of our team members notices that you have signs of teeth grinding and clenching, we may recommend that you get a night guard to protect your smile.

Common symptoms of tooth grinding and clenching include:

• Chronic jaw, facial and ear pain
• Frequent tightness in the jaw
• Tension headaches and migraines on a frequent basis
• Excessive tooth wear
• Worn tooth enamel that exposes inner layers of the tooth
• Indentations on the side of the tongue
• Tooth sensitivity

A night guard can help combat these symptoms, helping you sleep more comfortably while protecting your teeth from long-term damage. The night guards we make are comfortable to wear and are made custom to your smile.
