Are you tired of waking up with a sore jaw or a persistent headache? Teeth grinding, a common sleep disorder known as bruxism, can lead to significant dental damage if left untreated. At Dentistry on Duncan Mill, we offer custom-fitted night guards to protect your teeth and ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
What is a Night Guard?
A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance designed to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of teeth grinding. Worn over your teeth while you sleep, it acts as a barrier, preventing your upper and lower teeth from grinding against each other.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The lifespan of a night guard can vary depending on factors like the quality of the material, your usage habits, and how well you care for it. Typically, a well-maintained night guard can last several years. However, it’s important to schedule regular dental check-ups to assess its condition and ensure it’s still providing adequate protection.
While a night guard can last several years, it’s recommended to replace it every 1-2 years or whenever you notice significant wear and tear. Regular replacement ensures optimal protection and comfort.
While a night guard won’t completely eliminate teeth grinding, it effectively reduces the impact of the grinding force on your teeth, preventing damage and reducing jaw pain.
