Night Guards & Sports Guards at Woodbend Dental
Your teeth are exposed to two very different but equally damaging threats: nighttime grinding (bruxism) and sports-related impact. Custom-fitted guards from Woodbend Dental provide a comfortable, precise solution for both.
Night guards create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the force of grinding and clenching during sleep. Without one, bruxism gradually wears down enamel, causes jaw pain, and can fracture teeth or damage restorations — often without you even realizing it is happening.
Sports guards cushion impact to the teeth, lips, cheeks, and jaw during contact and collision sports. A custom-fitted guard from your dentist offers far superior protection and comfort compared to over-the-counter boil-and-bite options.
