How is a custom night guard made?
We take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fitted guard that matches the contours of your mouth, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Can I use an over-the-counter night guard instead?
While over-the-counter options are available, custom night guards from a dentist provide a superior fit, comfort, and durability, making them more effective at protecting your teeth.
