Night guards are an essential dental device for individuals who grind their teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism. This unconscious habit can cause significant damage to the teeth, leading to wear, fractures and even loss of tooth structure over time. Dr. Catalina Cruz Johnson and Dr. Marc C. Sharp are committed to providing patients with custom-fitted night guards designed to protect their teeth from the harmful effects of grinding and clenching.
Custom night guards, crafted from durable, high-quality materials, offer a level of protection and comfort that over-the-counter alternatives cannot match. We begin the process with a detailed assessment of your dental health, followed by taking precise impressions of your teeth. These impressions are then used to create a night guard that fits snugly over your teeth, providing a barrier that distributes the pressure from grinding, mitigates damage to your tooth enamel and reduces strain on your jaw muscles and joints.
In addition to protecting your teeth, wearing a night guard can also contribute to a better night’s sleep by alleviating the discomfort and jaw pain often associated with bruxism. Our dentists and team at Dentists at Memorial Park are dedicated to ensuring that each patient receives a personalized solution to meet their specific needs.
