Our dentists can protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding and clenching when we provide you with a custom night guard. Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common condition that often occurs during sleep and can lead to worn-down tooth enamel, chipped or cracked teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ disorders. At Covington Dental Partners, our dentists use a custom-fitted night guard to cover and cushion your teeth while you sleep, so they are shielded from the excessive forces of bruxism. Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom night guard is crafted from impressions of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit that stays securely in place throughout the night.

During your visit to our Covington, Georgia dental office, our dentists will evaluate your teeth and jaw for signs of bruxism and take detailed impressions to create your personalized night guard. The guard is made from high-quality, durable materials designed to withstand the forces of grinding while remaining comfortable enough for you to sleep peacefully. Wearing a night guard consistently can prevent further damage to your teeth, reduce jaw soreness and tension headaches, and help preserve your dental restorations such as crowns and fillings. If you experience symptoms such as a sore jaw, frequent headaches, or notice that your teeth appear flat or worn, schedule a visit to Covington Dental Partners so we can help protect your smile with a night guard.
