Relief for Jaw Pain, Headaches, and Teeth Grinding
Redwood City, CA Dentist Custom Night Guard Services
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching can put a lot of pressure on your teeth, jaw joints, and facial muscles. Over time, this can lead to worn teeth, tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches, and disrupted sleep.
At Bay Area Dental Office, we offer custom night guards in Redwood City to help protect your teeth and reduce the strain caused by nighttime grinding or clenching. Unlike over-the-counter guards, a custom night guard is made to fit your mouth comfortably and securely, so it feels better and provides more reliable protection while you sleep.
A night guard may be recommended if you wake up with jaw soreness, notice chipped or worn teeth, experience frequent headaches, or have been told that you grind your teeth at night. During your visit, our dental team will evaluate your bite, check for signs of grinding, and take impressions or scans to create a guard designed specifically for your smile.
Custom night guards are simple, comfortable, and non-invasive. They do not stop the grinding habit itself, but they create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth to help prevent damage and ease pressure on the jaw.
If you are concerned about teeth grinding, jaw tension, or protecting your dental work, Bay Area Dental Office can help you decide whether a custom night guard is right for you.
