Night guards are custom-made dental appliances that are typically worn during sleep to protect teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism or teeth grinding. The Dental Health Group, led by Dr. Gurpreet Shahi and Dr. Gentai Ni, offers high-quality, durable night guards tailored to fit each patient's unique dental structure. These devices provide a cushion between the upper and lower teeth, preventing direct contact and reducing the risk of tooth wear, enamel damage, and other oral health complications. Night guards are comfortable, easy to clean, and offer a practical solution to mitigate the harmful impacts of night-time teeth grinding.
If you frequently wake up with a dull headache or a sore jaw, you might be grinding your teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism. Night guards are an effective remedy for this. They alleviate the discomfort and prevent the potential damage caused by this involuntary habit. Regular use of a night guard can save you from more complex and expensive dental treatments down the line. They can also improve the quality of your sleep, as they help reduce the tension and strain caused by clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth.
Bruxism affects about 10% of adults and 15% of children in the US.

Night guards serve as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. They prevent the wear and tear caused by grinding, which can lead to fractures, chips, and in severe cases, tooth loss. By using a night guard, you're investing in the long-term health of your teeth.
Teeth grinding can lead to headaches, facial pain, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. A night guard can help alleviate these symptoms by reducing the pressure on your teeth and jaw, providing you with a more comfortable and restful night's sleep.
Beyond your oral health, untreated bruxism can lead to other health issues like sleep apnea and snoring. By using a night guard, you're not only protecting your teeth but also promoting better overall health.
The first step towards getting a night guard is a comprehensive consultation and examination. Our dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your symptoms, and determine if a night guard is the right solution for you.
If a night guard is deemed appropriate, the next step is taking an accurate impression of your teeth. This ensures the night guard fits perfectly and provides maximum comfort and protection.
Once your custom night guard is ready, you'll return to our office for a fitting. Our dentists will check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and provide instructions on how to care for your night guard.
