Dental Night Guard Process
We’ve been doing this for years, so we know how to make the process easy for kids and parents.
We’ll examine your child’s teeth and discuss what’s been happening. If we think a dental night guard will be helpful, we create a custom guard specifically for your child. It fits their mouth perfectly, so it’s comfortable to wear. We use strong materials that last a long time.
When it’s ready, we’ll ensure it fits correctly and show you how to care for it.
Different Types of Guards
For Teeth Grinding: These protect against the damage caused by grinding and clenching. They’re comfortable enough that most kids get used to them quickly.
For Sleep Problems: Some children have trouble breathing at night, which affects their sleep. Special night guards can help keep their airways open, allowing them to sleep better.

It’s pretty simple:
Most guards last several years if you take care of them.
