At Dental Haus, we create custom night guards for Palm Beach patients.
Night guards help safeguard your tooth enamel if you grind your teeth overnight. We can custom-make night guards to suit the exact shape and size of your teeth and mouth. Custom night guards are most effective for protecting your smile, and they can also be comfortable while you are trying to sleep.

With our modern dental technology, we can streamline the process of crafting your custom night guard.
Firstly, we will take an impression of your teeth. Next, our dentists will use that impression to generate a strong, durable, and practical night guard that can prevent your bottom and top teeth from touching as you clench or grind during the night.
This entire process usually takes about 2-3 weeks. And with proper care, your night guard can last for years.
If you think you might need a night guard, or you have any questions about the process, please talk to our professional dental team. We are happy to recommend treatments to help you protect your teeth.
Night guards can be either store-bought or custom-made. Custom night guards are made from impressions of your teeth, so they fit more snugly and comfortably than store-bought night guards. Custom night guards can also be more durable and offer better protection than store-bought night guards. If you suffer from bruxism, an ill-fitting night guard can actually make the problem worse by causing your teeth to grind against each other.
You might need a night guard if you have bruxism—a condition where you excessively clench and grind your teeth while asleep. Bruxism is a common problem that can lead to serious tooth damage if left untreated. Signs of bruxism include tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches and worn teeth.
If you think you may be grinding your teeth at night, make an appointment with your dentist so they can assess the situation and recommend a treatment plan.
You should clean your night guard every day with toothpaste and water. Be sure to rinse it off well so that there is no toothpaste residue left on the appliance. You should also store your night guard in a safe place when you’re not wearing it, such as a hard case or a zip-lock bag. When you come in for a dental appointment, your dentist can show you how to properly care for your night guard, so you get the most out of it.
No. Sports mouth guards are designed to protect the teeth from injury during athletic activities. They are not meant to be worn all night long and they will not provide the same level of protection as a night guard. In addition, sports mouth guards can actually make bruxism worse by causing the teeth to grind against each other at night.
