Why a Custom Night Guard is Important
Bruxism can cause significant dental health issues over time if left untreated, impacting both comfort and the health of your smile. Common symptoms and complications include:
- Chipped and cracked teeth: The pressure from grinding can wear down enamel, resulting in fractures, chipping, and tooth sensitivity.
- Jaw pain and muscle tension: Many people with bruxism experience soreness in the jaw and tension in the facial muscles, often upon waking.
- Damage to dental restorations: Grinding can wear down crowns, veneers, and fillings, which may lead to expensive repairs or replacements.
Our custom night guards are designed to fit comfortably, providing a protective barrier that minimizes the strain on your teeth and jaw.

Our Custom Nightguard Process at Eastboro Dental
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
We believe in a patient-focused approach. During your first visit, our experienced dental team will assess your teeth, jaw alignment, and any symptoms related to bruxism. This consultation allows us to understand your specific needs and recommend the most suitable type of night guard to relieve your symptoms.
Step 2: Precision Impressions
To ensure a perfect fit, we’ll take detailed impressions of your teeth. Using traditional molds or advanced 3D scanning technology, we capture the unique contours of your teeth to create a customized night guard that maximizes comfort and effectiveness.
Step 3: Custom Fabrication
Your night guard is crafted from durable, high-quality materials designed to withstand nightly grinding while remaining comfortable. Our lab meticulously tailors each night guard based on your impressions, ensuring it fits perfectly and provides effective protection against bruxism.
Step 4: Fitting and Adjustments
When your night guard is ready, we’ll invite you back to our Orleans clinic to ensure it fits comfortably. Our team will make any necessary adjustments and provide guidance on proper care to extend the longevity and effectiveness of your night guard.
Step 5: Ongoing Care and Support
We recommend regular check-ups to monitor the condition of your night guard and make any necessary adjustments over time.
Eastboro Dental is dedicated to supporting you in maintaining a night guard that offers long-term comfort and protection.
