Night Guards in Thomson, GA: Prevent Teeth Damage from Bruxism

If you suffer from teeth grinding or clenching at night, a custom night guard can protect your teeth and relieve jaw pain. At Thomson Family Dental, we offer custom-fitted night guards designed to prevent the harmful effects of bruxism (teeth grinding). Our night guards are comfortable, durable, and tailored to your specific needs, helping you wake up without discomfort.

What Are Night Guards?

Night guards are protective devices worn over your teeth while you sleep to prevent the damage caused by grinding and clenching. Bruxism can lead to a range of issues, including worn teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. A custom-fitted night guard acts as a barrier, absorbing the pressure and protecting your teeth from wear and damage.

Benefits of Custom Night Guards

• Prevent Teeth Damage: Night guards protect your teeth from the wear and tear caused by grinding, reducing the risk of fractures, chips, and erosion.
• Relieve Jaw Pain: By cushioning your teeth, night guards help alleviate the tension in your jaw muscles, reducing pain and discomfort.
• Improve Sleep Quality: Reducing the effects of bruxism can lead to better sleep, as you’re less likely to wake up due to discomfort or headaches.
• Custom Fit: Custom night guards are designed to fit your teeth perfectly, making them more comfortable and effective than over-the-counter options.

The Process of Getting a Custom Night Guard

Custom Impressions

We’ll take detailed impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create a night guard that fits perfectly to your mouth.

Once your night guard is ready, we’ll ensure it fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments to maximize its effectiveness.
